Two months ago, I predicted After The New Republic published an entire article likening former President Donald Trump to Adolf Hitler, the media was laying the groundwork to justify assassinating him. I’d like to say I had supernatural foresight, but I’m not the first to make this prediction, and several other commentators, including Tucker Carlson, also saw the signs of the assassination coming, so I wasn’t alone.
Saturday’s assassination attempt on the presidential frontrunner was shocking, but in many ways seemed inevitable. The American media has been steadily ramping up anti-Trump rhetoric for years, whipping its audience into a homicidal frenzy. The unpleasant cranks that make up the regime media aren’t worried or outraged by the Trump assassination attempt; they’re just disappointed that the instrument of their revenge was a poor shooter.
The left has succeeded in raising one shooter and will not stop until they have raised another.
While the media has always portrayed Republican candidates as dangerous to some degree, from the moment Trump announced his candidacy in 2015, he provoked a particularly intense form of media vitriol. The real estate mogul was speaking to a forgotten constituency: working- and middle-class Americans in places like the Rust Belt. They were old, outdated Americans, the kind of voters that even the Republican Party found puzzling, and whom the ruling class was targeting for replacement. These outdated Americans were supposed to quietly fade away, slowly die in despair, until Trump gave them a voice.
This was Trump’s unforgivable sin, and from the moment of his unlikely victory, the media sprung up to destroy this rogue president.
For decades, the left has called conservatives racists, sexists and homophobes. These relentless slurs corrode public discourse, but they have now become so commonplace they have become background noise. During Trump’s presidency, the left escalated its vile rhetoric, first calling them “white supremacists” and eventually “fascists.” Those accustomed to being consistently demonized by every major institution don’t necessarily notice the profound shift in the zeitgeist that has brought America to this dangerous moment.
In the current moral framework, racists are evil people who have committed one of the most horrific crimes, but they are still human beings. Fascists, on the other hand, are Nazis, the descendants of Adolf Hitler, a modern-day secular devil. Fascists are agents of inhuman evil, and any kind of action, including horrific violence, is justified if it is done to stop Nazi rule. This is why leftists began using the slogan “punch the Nazis” in 2017 and have since steadily expanded the term fascist to anyone who opposes the progressive agenda.
Political violence is a fire that can quickly burn the fabric of a society. Once ignited, it is impossible to control. That is why ruling classes who care about the future of their countries know better than to resort to such violence.
Political street violence and assassination attempts drive state power to hurtle toward civil war. That is why the Black Lives Matter and Antifa riots of 2020 were such a frightening omen. When riots raged across the country for weeks and police spent most of their time kneeling in front of protesters, it sent a clear message. Political violence seemed tolerated, but those who attended the January 6 protests quickly learned that this new rule only applies to one side. The left expects to deploy political violence on a whim without consequences, but it is a demon that no one can control for long.
Cable TV news media and Democratic politicians have been tossing around the fascist label for years, but the truly alarming escalation came when Joe Biden began using the term in 2022. The president first used the term at a fundraiser in August of that year, before delivering his infamous “blood red” speech in front of Independence Hall. During the speech, Biden argued that Trump and his supporters “represent an extremism that threatens the foundation of our republic” and warned that “equality and democracy are under attack.”
Biden’s X account is filled with similar language. 1 post “Donald Trump is a real threat to this country. He is a threat to our freedoms. He is a threat to our democracy. He is a threat to literally everything America stands for,” it reads.
Cory Comperatore made the ultimate sacrifice to protect those he loved and is now covered in glory, but his left hand is covered in his own blood.
Declaring a political opponent a threat to the nation and all it stands for is already a “isn’t anyone going to get rid of this busybody priest?” moment, but things escalated from there. At some point, the left started sneaking the “existential threat” into their rhetoric. For those of you who don’t know, existential threat is not a light phrase. It’s: End your existence If it doesn’t stop, we must use all means, including violence, to stop it.
The administration tried to bankrupt Trump, remove him from the ballot, and send him to prison. All three strategies have failed, and if Trump is truly an existential threat to freedom, democracy, and the nation itself, there is only one logical course of action left. The media knows this, and they have continued to broadcast their crazy message of hate to every unstable fanatic they can reach, until finally, someone takes them seriously. The Biden administration has slammed the Department of Justice, the FBI, the Department of Homeland Security, and most recently, the Department of Justice. Even the Pentagon They are labeling Trump supporters as a domestic terrorist threat and working with the media to cultivate real left-wing assassins.
Corey Competatore Comperatore, a volunteer fire chief from Pennsylvania who recently celebrated his 50th birthday, had been posting enthusiastically to X about hearing Trump speak at the rally. On Facebook, Comperatore’s daughter described the Trump supporter as a devout Christian and devoted father. When shots rang out, the first responder didn’t hesitate to throw his wife and daughter to the ground and shield them with his own body, according to the post.
At that moment, Comperatore made the ultimate sacrifice to protect those he loved, and was covered in glory, but his left hand was stained with blood.
Donald Trump responded to this attempted shooting with amazing calm. After being hit by the bullets, the former president did not freeze or run away, but quickly rose to his feet, raised his fist, and shouted “Fight!” at his supporters. The iconic photo of his defiant pose will go down in history. Progressives quickly realized that a near-martyr Trump was a visual catastrophe for them, but instead of backing down from their rhetoric, the media escalated it.
In a saner time, a former president or a leading candidate whose steely courage narrowly escaped death would be celebrated in a united country, but we don’t live in such times. It would take a particularly soulless degenerate to go on cable news the day after Trump was shot and treat the billionaire and his supporters as a real threat, and apparently MSNBC and CNN are teeming with them. Celebrities like George Takei wereted no time in using rhetoric inciting violence, such as “an existential threat to democracy.” David Frum responded to the assassination attempt with an article in The Atlantic: Calling Trump a dictator.
The left has succeeded in raising one shooter and will not stop until they have raised another.
