Recoil From Hate

July 14, 2024 Leave a comment

The Left’s daily (MSNBC, CNN, The View, WaPo, NYT, etc.) Two Minutes Hate directed at Donald J. Trump, MAGA, “rural whites” and at a democracy and a Supreme Court that allows them to lose power has become kinetic.

According to The New Republic, Trump is the next Hitler. The Left trotted out Rober DeNiro to spew his hatred of Trump. MAGA, rural white Americans, people praying at abortion clinics are called “domestic terrorists” and “extremists.”. Dehumanization is the very coin of the realm for progressives.

Theater director Oskar Eustis put on a version of Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar portraying the Roman leader as Trump, complete with a bloody assassination, the same year.

While in the United Kingdom in 2017, Johnny Depp asked a festival audience, “When was the last time an actor assassinated a president? … [I]t’s been a while and maybe it’s time”—referencing the murder of Abraham Lincoln by John Wilkes Booth.

This unhinged Leftist is also unhappy the shooter missed:

Those of us who love our country and would vote for Trump are constantly being lectured by academics and journalists about being full of “rage”, of wanting a “civil war”, of being a “threat to democracy”, and of not being good little Christians. It is the Left (and NeverTrumpers) that never recoils from hate. Never. To wit:

Here’s the shooter saying that he hates Republicans, he hates Trump and “you’ve got the wrong guy.”

New talking point from media scum… – Revolver News

Sam Faddis: “I am not an expert in protective details. I have worked with them extensively in the field. I also have well in excess of thirty years of experience in clandestine operations, both preventing them and carrying them out on enemy soil. From that perspective, let me ask some questions about what happened yesterday in Butler, Pennsylvania when Donald Trump came within a hair’s breadth of being assassinated.”

How did the shooter know he could safely and securely occupy the elevated firing position from which he shot? 

How is it possible Secret Service left an elevated firing position in proximity to the stage unsecured?

Why were the Secret Service agents on stage so slow to react?

Melania Trump:

“A monster who recognized my husband as an inhuman political machine attempted to ring out Donald’s passion – his laughter, ingenuity, love of music, and inspiration. The core facets of my husband’s life – his human side – were buried below the political machine. Donald, the generous and caring man who I have been with through the best of times and the worst of times. . ..

 . . . “Dawn is here again. Let us reunite. Now. This morning, ascend above the hate, the vitriol, and the simple-minded ideas that ignite violence. We all want a world where respect is paramount, family is first, and love transcends.

Here’s what Victor Davis Hanson had to say on X:

Victor Davis Hanson

Assassination Porn and the Sickness on the Left

If we were leftists and we were to use leftist tropes to editorialize the recent attempt on Trump’s life, then we would frame the assassination attempt in the following way:

We have witnessed for years blatant exceptions to the once common custom that we don’t normalize the imagined killing of any president or presidential candidate and thus lower the bar of violence.

But the Left constantly makes Trump an exception. Now, it as if the imagined killing of Trump had been mainstreamed and become acceptable in a way inconceivable of other presidents.

(Do we remember the rodeo clown who merely wore an Obama mask during a bull riding contest and was punished by being permanently banned by the Missouri State Fair authorities?)

So since at least 2016 there has been a parlor game among Leftist celebrities and entertainers joking (one hopes), dreaming, imagining, and just talking about the various and graphic ways they would like to assassinate or seriously injure Trump:

By slugging his face (Robert De Niro), by decapitation (Kathy Griffin, Marilyn Manson), by stabbing (Shakespeare in the Park), by clubbing (Mickey Rourke), by shooting ( Snoop Dogg), by poisoning (Anthony Bourdain), by bounty killing (George Lopez), by carrion eating his corpse (Pearl Jam), by suffocating (Larry Whilmore), by blowing him up (Madonna, Moby), by throwing him over a cliff (Rosie O’Donnell), just by generic “killing” him (Johnny Depp, Big Sean), or by martyring him (Reid Hoffman: “Yeah, I wish I had made him an actual martyr.”).

Or should we deplore the use of telescopic scope imagery, given that the Left blamed Sarah Palin for once using bullseye spots on an election map of opposition congressional districts, claiming that such usage had incited the mass shooting by Jared Lee Loughner?

 Yet, recently POTUS Joe Biden was a little bit more graphic and a lot more literal.

In a widely reported call to hundreds of donors last week, Biden boasted, “I have one job, and that’s to beat Donald Trump. I’m absolutely certain I’m the best person to be able to do that. So, we’re done talking about the debate, it’s time to put Trump in a bullseye.”

“In a bullseye?” At least, Biden did not go back to the full Biden beat-up porn of the past (e.g., “If we were in high school, I’d take him behind the gym and beat the hell out of him”/ “The press always asks me, ‘Don’t I wish I were debating him?’ No, I wish we were in high school – I could take him behind the gym. That’s what I wish.”).

Then there is the question of the Secret Service and one’s political opponents. Given the tragic history of the Kennedys, why in the world did the Biden administration not insist that third-party candidate Robert Kennedy, Jr. be accorded Secret Service protection? Because his candidacy was felt to be disadvantageous to Biden?

And why just this April would the former head of the January 6th Committee and 2004 election obstructionist Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) introduce legislation ridiculously entitled, “Denying Infinite Security and Government Resources Allocated toward Convicted and Extremely Dishonorable (DISGRACED) Former Protectees Act” to strip away Secret Service protection for former President Trump and by this April current leading presidential candidate?

Had Thompson’s bill passed, would that not have been confirmation for a potential shooter to feel his task was just made much easier?

But in a wider sense, if the common referent day after day on the Left is that Trump is another Hitler (cf. a recent The New Republic cover where Trump is literally photoshopped as Hitler), then it seems reckless not to imagine an unhinged or young shootist believing that by taking out somewhat identical to one of the greatest mass murderers in history, he would be applauded for his violence?

So is their logic, shoot Trump and save six million from the gas chambers?

After all, The New Republic defiantly explained their Hitler-Trump cover photo this way, “Today, we at The New Republic think we can spend this election year in one of two ways. We can spend it debating whether Trump meets the nine or 17 points that define fascism. Or we can spend it saying, “He’s damn close enough, and we’d better fight.”

Well, New Republic, recently someone took you up on your argument that Trump was “damn close enough” to Hitler and so he likewise chose to “fight”— albeit with a semi-automatic rifle.

If ad nauseam, a Joy Reid is screaming about Trump as a Hitlerian dictator (“Then let me know who I got to vote for to keep Hitler out of the White House”) or Rachel Maddow is bloviating about studying Hitler to understand Trump, then finally the message sinks in that a mass murderer is about to take power—unless….

Finally, the idea, if true, that bystanders spotted a 20-year-old on a nearby roof with a gun, a mere 130 yards from Trump, and in vain warned police of his presence, is surreal.

Is it all that hard for the Secret Service to post a few agents on the tops of a few surrounding buildings closest to the dais, or at least coordinate with local law enforcement to do the same?

That is a no brainer. Whoever made the decisions concerning the proper secret service security details for presidential events should be immediately fired.

Was Corey Comperatore one of those “Christian nationalists,” one of those “extremists,” one of those “threats to democracy” that armchair academics and haughty journalists and talking heads warn us about?

Heart wrenching dissection of the assassination attempt on President Trump shows grave compromise by the security agents. I completely agree with this compelling expert analysis. Further revelation has shown that attendees even saw the gunman on rooftop before shooting. While condemning this dastardly act in the most strongest terms, I pray for President Trump’s quick recovery.
