A Disturbing Number of Democrats Think America Would Be Better Off If Trump Were Assassinated

The aftermath of the second assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump has exposed an unsettling reality in America today: a growing acceptance of — or at the very least, a disturbing indifference toward — violence against political opponents.

According to a new survey that RMG Research conducted for the Napolitan News Service, a staggering 17% of voters believe that America would be better off if last week’s assassination attempt on Trump had succeeded. This includes an alarming 28% of Democrats, with another 24% unsure whether America might be better off if Trump were dead.

Only 48% of Democrats could definitively say that the country would not be better off if Trump had been killed.

These numbers are nothing short of horrifying. When nearly half of a major political party cannot outright reject the idea of the assassination of a political opponent as a solution, we are witnessing a moral breakdown in the very fabric of our society — or at least the Democratic Party.

“It is hard to imagine a greater threat to democracy than expressing a desire to have your political opponent murdered,” observed Scott Rasmussen, president of RMG Research.

He's not wrong. It's a troubling trend that the left is increasingly desensitized to political violence. Many on the left similarly felt that the Black Lives Matter riots of 2020, which caused billions of dollars in property damage and left several people dead, were morally justified. I suspect more Democrats felt Ryan Wesley Routh was morally justified in trying to assassinate Trump than let on in the poll.

While many of us were horrified that someone could get so close to killing Trump again, a sizable number of Democrats are indifferent. Just over half of all Democrats (51%) still don’t believe that it’s necessary to increase Trump's security.

The Democrat Party is becoming a party of ruthless mobsters who think murdering a political opponent is justified to keep their power. This is the mindset of drug cartels and terrorists.

This attitude has no place in a constitutional republic based upon law and free speech.

This is an unhinged mindset of people who have no idea what horror this lawlessness would unleash. This is the strategy of mobsters with no conscience.

And they call him Hitler and an existential threat to democracy...

(*I laugh at the assembled talking point quotes that use the word “existential”... I wonder how many would have thought of that word without being handed their script. Clowns!)

Democrat Bennie Thompson, ranking member, House Committee on Homeland Security, introduced the absurdly named “Denying Infinite Security and Government Resources Allocated toward Convicted and Extremely Dishonorable (DISGRACED) Former Protectees Act (HR 8081)” on April 19, 2024.

Democrat co-sponsors include Reps: <><>Yvette D. Clarke, <><>Troy A. Carter Sr., <><>Frederica Wilson, <><>Bonnie Watson Coleman, <><>Jasmine Crockett, <><>Joyce Beatty, <><>Barbara Lee, <><>Steve Cohen.

Question: who put these Democraps up to facilitating a Trump assassination?

Cong Bennie Thompson pictured <>headed the infamous Jan. 6th Commission <>crafted the bill w/ eight co-sponsors to strip Trump of S/S detail. <>was a black separatist early on (his resume enhancer?)<>Thompson aide and field director, tax paid “civil rights” activist, Jacqueline Marsaw tweeted she wished the assassin had “better aim.”

=================================

Call Congress: (202) 224-3121 U.S. House switchboard operator.

Message: Subpoena these lawmakers. Taxpayers demand to know who organized this heinous assault on democracy-——exposing candidates to harm and assassination——and the number of tax dollars and tax-subsidized aides and office supplies that were used in this legislative atrocity.

Everybody would lose. But they would lose more. They have no idea.

[Fai Mao]

Probably get me deleted but I feel America would be better off if a disturbing number of Democrats were disappeared.

[Jane Long]

Rebuke their evil.

In Jesus’ name.

Amen.

[spincaster]

If they kill Trump it is up to all of us to finish what he started ,even if that means finishing all of them.

[Son-Joshua]

Agreed, if they demand abortion pretty much any time then why be surprised. They hate anyone who disagrees w/them. This is dangerous.

[ActresponsiblyinVA]

What are our children and grandchildren facing in the future? The USA I enjoyed is apparently over.

[tflabo]

A cesspool the size of a big lake is warranted to throw them in for a refreshing swim.

[sjmjax]

Disturbing - Yes.
Surprising - No.

Violence is a fundamental characteristic of the political left.

[DeplorablePaul]

The attitudes of the left won’t change until they get a dose of their own medicine. We hunkered down and gritted our teeth during the Obama years. Not the left. They’ve been trying to kill Trump from day one without blow back.

[Gene Eric]

>> Only 48% of Democrats could definitively say that the country would not be better off if Trump had been killed.

Prove it by voting for Trump

[Jane Long]

Trump is the ONLY one willing to sacrifice, to fight for our children and grandchildren.

He knows exactly what is at stake. And, he wants a return to the ‘USA we have all enjoyed’.

Our job is to vote, get all you know to vote (explain that this is a battle of good and evil/freedom or tyranny...from which there is NO return), and, PRAY!! Cover this nation and President Trump in prayer.

We are in a hand to hand battle 🙏🏻

A disturbing number of Republicans no doubt think the same thing about Kamala and Walz. This is fake, bullshit news!

Probably several million confederates wished Lincoln dead.

[PGR88]

What’s unspoken is the realization that IF Kamala was removed, demoted, or assassinated, it would not matter one tiny bit

Because she is simply a deep-state puppet and hologram, everyone subconsciously seems to understand that she would simply be replaced with the next woke/Democrat drone, who would spout the same stupid slogans, and we would get the exact same policies.

[Gnome1949]

I hasten to remind everyone Americans did not “turn the other cheek” when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor.

We are on the edge of a widespread violent backlash.

These arenas full of enthusiastic Trump supporters at every campaign rally are not going to quietly and meekly stand down in the face of a resort to violence by radical Democrats.

Americans, BY THE TENS OF MILLIONS, still believe in peacefully voting for those WE choose to be leaders. The small minority who choose violence will sorely regret that choice and the consequences that surely follow.

[No name given]

The rat party and every single one of their voters and supporters is evil and unholy.
