President Joe Biden’s comparison of Donald Trump and his supporters to Nazis has long been a staple of his campaign speeches, and his fellow Democrats and the liberal media have eagerly promoted the extreme rhetoric.
Now, sadly but predictably, someone got killed because of this kind of story.
Most people believe that killing Hitler would have been a good and moral thing to do if it would have prevented the holocaust he caused. There are even social games that suggest Hitler was so evil that he should have been killed as a toddler. Comparing someone to a Nazi dictator is a clear invitation for violence.

Democrats, in their thirst for power and in their insanity over Trump, don’t care.
At 8 p.m. the night before the assassination attempt on Donald Trump, Biden posted on X, “What Americans want is a president, not a dictator.” This isn’t just about Biden. For nearly a decade, Democrats have been ramping up the rhetoric and leading the country towards this political violence.
In 2018, Rep. Maxine Waters went on a crazy rant and called on her supporters to publicly harass members of the Trump administration, “telling them that they’re no longer welcome anywhere,” she fumed.
In the recent election, former Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill Continued MSNBC says this is not a myth, but that Trump is not only similar to Hitler or Mussolini, but even more dangerous.
Meanwhile, the New Republic magazine published a cover last week featuring a photo of half Hitler, half Trump, seemingly handing out a moral license to kill.
All this time, conservative and moderate Americans have been calling on the Democratic Party and its media allies to stop this and stop treating Trump, and more importantly, his supporters, as fascists. We knew where that would lead.

I was at Tony Pako’s in Toledo interviewing two guys named Eric and Charlie who worked on Great Lakes freighters when the news broke, and people came into the bar where we were sitting over Hungarian hot dogs and asked the bartender to turn on the news.
This was too important and terrifying a moment to watch alone on a phone: We all watched, over and over, as Trump fell to the ground with his hands around his neck.
There may be a minority on the American right who use such rhetoric to dehumanize the left, but for progressives, it is the currency of the kingdom.
But to be honest, the mood wasn’t one of shock. It wasn’t a “how did this happen?” kind of mood. It was one of weary, sad resignation to the modern state of polarization and meanness.
I asked, “Are you surprised that this happened?”
Charlie, a tough but elegant Minnesotan, looked at me and quietly said, “No.”
How could he, or any of us, be shocked? We are feeling the sweltering heat of so-called left-wing rhetoric these days, the shrieking assertion that Trump would be a dictator who would destroy American democracy.
America was founded on the belief that it is moral to kill someone to rid our people of tyranny and tyranny, which is why we don’t casually accuse our fellow citizens of such things, unless they’re Donald Trump or some guy in a red MAGA hat, in which case, feel free to do so.
Today, following the near-assassination of a former president and front-runner, we will hear solemn voices from the liberal media, which only days ago loudly warned about the unique danger posed by Trump, and said this is a two-way street.
No, that’s not right.
While a minority on the American right may use this kind of rhetoric to dehumanize the left, for progressives it is the very currency of the kingdom. Mainstream Media There are almost calls to remove Trump, and they’re doing it not on dark websites but on cable TV news networks.
Those who defend Donald Trump’s dangerous rants and rants about the threat he poses to our society and our way of life will say that the shooter disrupted politics, that he was perhaps just crazy, or that they are Democrats and therefore it was the gun’s fault.

But this excuse won’t hold up either: after all, judging by what Democrats and many in the media have to say, the shooter did exactly what he should have done to a Hitler-esque wannabe fascist dictator.
If anything good can come from this horrific tragedy, in which one man was killed and two others injured while performing their civic duty at a political rally, it is that Democrats will understand that this is not sustainable, that they are still inviting more violence.

America will rise from this terrible act. We will rise, bloody as Mr. Trump was, standing on stage after being shot. We will reject the violent rhetoric and name-calling, raise our fists and say there is no room for it in America.
For Democrats, the message to them must be as clear as the summer sun: This must stop, and it must stop now.
