Where to begin? Last night, a bullet, by centimeters, missed throwing America into turmoil not seen since the murder of John F. Kennedy. Two centimeters to the left and Trump dies, his cortex, like JFK’s, split by an assassin.
But there the comparison - the parallel - ends. In 1963, the media tried (tenuously, but tried) to objectively report, barely managing to keep its thumb off the scale. Sixty-one years ago, gaslighting and (mis) characterization of presidential opponents, BY presidents, didn’t, through the media, welcome assassination.
But today’s media has no excuse. In lockstep with Biden, the media - ABC, NBC, the New York Times, the Washington Post - gaslight the public, projecting onto the Republican nominee (Trump is “Hitler,” Trump is a “threat to Democracy,” Trump is a “fascist dictator”) outrageous claims, all of which ironically - and accurately - describe them.
So, yes, to despise, to hate and resent them, is fair… If the tables turned, if a MAGA creep had targeted Biden, there would be no “both sidesing”—the coverage would ravage Trump. The blame would be 100% in one direction, 100% politically motivated, and as outrageously biased as the current bilge, which, by ignoring Biden’s statements, his “end of democracy” bull, explains how a shooter almost eliminated Trump, whom Biden repeatedly has labeled “a threat.”
Last week, in fact, Biden said, quote, “We’re done talking about the debate. It’s time to put Trump in the bullseye.”
Hmm… Turn the table, just imagine. Imagine if Donald said that of Joe. If Trump, as president, posted, as Biden did, that “America wants a president, not a dictator”—a blatant dog-whistle… Talk about “othering.”
If Trump is a dictator, the message - that Democrats are in peril, that, if elected, Trump could take their lives - ensures backlash.
And it seems, indeed, that violent backlash is the goal. For instance, Biden, last Friday, claimed in Michigan, that Trump, if elected, would force 10 MILLION “migrants” into CONCENTRATION CAMPS. And the media said nothing… Biden said Trump isn’t merely a “threat to democracy,” a threat to America, but - quote - a threat to EVERYTHING… And the media let it go.
In fact, in lockstep, they repeated the lie. The media set the table.
And, 24 hours later, Trump took a bullet.
Thus, the “both-sidesing,” the “tone it down” calls—spare me. When people who’ve labeled Trump “Hitler” - all of them Democrats - claim that “there’s no room for violence,” when they wish him a “speedy recovery,” ask this:
Why wish that on Hitler?
You want Hitler dead. If you believe that a man evil enough to kill 6 million Jews is on the brink of repeating history, the rational position - the only position - is to want him eliminated.
And that’s what happened. The left - the media, Biden, the Democrat party - are what they claim Trump is—a threat to America, to democracy, to EVERYTHING… And one of them heard the call. One of them acted.
And two more centimeters, just two—it would have worked.
Trump wouldn’t have recovered. And that was the goal. A goal they failed to reach.
But - bank it - they’ll try again.
