Second Attempted Assassination of Trump: Leftist Media Points the Finger at Him
Political Turmoil and Assassination Attempts
The 2020 election between Donald Trump and Joe Biden was marked by civil conflicts, from BLM and Antifa riots to debates over the pandemic response. The Democrats promised a return to normalcy, which, however, did not materialize. As the 2024 election approaches, a similar promise is being made, with the argument that the ongoing political drama would not be happening if Trump were not involved. This argument is being used to justify two near-miss assassination attempts on Trump, both carried out by confirmed supporters of Democrat institutions like ActBlue. The latest suspect, 58-year-old Ryan Routh, is a confirmed Bernie Sanders and DNC supporter who allegedly tried to recruit foreign mercenaries for the war in Ukraine. Claims that Routh voted for Trump in 2016 appear to be unfounded, as records from his residence in North Carolina show that he did not vote in that year.
Background of the Suspect
Ryan Wesley Routh, the 58-year-old suspect, has a long criminal record, with about 50 pages of criminal activity spanning from 1984 to 2019. Most of the charges are unspecified. He is registered to vote in Guilford County, North Carolina.
Media Blames Trump for Assassination Attempts
Establishment news platforms are blaming Trump for both attempts on his life. Leftists argue that Democrats like Kamala Harris are not responsible for the actions of two unhinged shooters, maintaining that the political left is mostly peaceful. However, this argument is not convincing. Democrat media rhetoric over the past several years has radicalized progressive activists, with millions being told that Trump and conservatives are a threat to democracy. The Russian Collusion hoax, the false claims of insurrection on January 6th, and the false claims about Trump's racism have driven these people to the brink of insanity. In their minds, killing Trump would save the world. This zealotry is not limited to a few individuals; it's pervasive among progressive groups.
Marxist Strategy and Political Violence
The classic Marxist strategy is to attack the target leadership or system while claiming that your attempts at sabotage are the fault of the people you seek to destroy. In other words, gaslight your political opponents and tell everyone they made you do bad things to them. Leftists must remain the perpetual victims, the perpetual underdogs, otherwise their entire narrative as revolutionaries falls apart. It's worth noting that only one side of the American discourse has consistently supported violence and assassination as a solution to the possibility of losing the election.
Ignoring Democracy
Leftists continue to ignore the very democracy they claim to defend whenever public sentiment doesn't go their way. If Ryan Routh had been successful, there would likely be millions of Democrats on social media cheering and gloating. They're not concerned about what's right, they only care about winning.
Bottom Line
The ongoing political drama and the assassination attempts on Trump have stirred up a lot of controversy. The blame is being placed on Trump himself, with the argument that his involvement in politics is causing all the chaos. However, is it fair to blame one person for the actions of others? Is it justifiable to ignore the principles of democracy when things don't go your way? What are your thoughts on this matter?
