If we take a look at the last five mostly peaceful assassination attempts in these United States we get the following:
Don’t forget the Whitmer Kidnapping Plot in 2020, which was far worse, because organized by a Far Right armed insurrectionist group called the Wolverine Watchmen. Here’s why:
Some have labeled the attempt as an example of stochastic terrorism, where violent rhetoric by prominent figures inspired the plot.
Experts agree that the FBI had nothing -- nothing -- to do with encouraging the plot.
Back to the five mild and devoted assassins.
Can you imagine the outrage if these five assassins had been targeting liberal or Democratic headliners? Imagine if Kamala Harris had been targeted, or, God forbid, Alex Soros, abbot of the Open Society monastery! Our regime media friends would have buried us in a tsunami of propaganda to show that everyone to the right of Jake Tapper was a far-right racist-sexist-homophobe armed insurrectionist utterly committed to “stochastic terrorism.”
As for me, I really feel for the passengers in steerage pitched into the lifeboats of the SS Democratic Party, those who never got to live it up in the mega-mansions of the NGO Industrial Complex. Their frustration must be unbearable.
Think of the injustice. Workers were promised rights and pensions. Instead, they got deaths of despair. Blacks were promised civil rights. Instead, they got George Floyd and Jussie Smollett. Women were promised liberation. Instead, they got men in the women’s bathroom. Gays were promised Pride. Instead, they got AIDS. Environmentalists were promised salvation with virtue-signaling Teslas. Instead, Elon made fools of them with slash-and-burn DOGE.
Do you see that everything that the progressives believed through the last century has turned to dust and ashes? I like to think that the whole project went prime time with the Big Lie that President Wilson bellowed to get the U.S. into World War I: “The world must be made safe for democracy.” No wonder that the humiliated rank-and-file Democrats are now getting all Shakespearean, like assassin Casca in Julius Caesar: “Speak, Hands for me.”
Of course, the faithful are lashing out. That is what happens when the revolution fails, according to Crane Brinton in The Anatomy of Revolution. Hey, experts, the revolution fails because politics is about nothing more than smashing the enemy and gifting the supporters, and human life is so much more.
And then, to top it all, Donald J. Trump enters politics.
Enemies? Trump has turned out to excel in the smashing of enemies. Imagine the humiliation of being beaten by a crass businessman and TV star in his first run for political office! And now he’s managed to turn the Oval Office into another smash-hit TV talk show, a vehicle to humiliate his enemies with JD as Ed McMahon to Trump’s Johnny Carson.
And as for gifting the supporters, what do you think the market sell-off after Liberation Day was all about? Listen: if you were wearing the Trump Secret Decoder Ring, it was blinking: “Buy on the Dip!” I am sure that Sen. Liz Warren (D-MA) will shortly be conducting a comprehensive and mandatory investigation of this outrageous act of corruption.
It’s all over, assassinators. You may as well give up.
Know, you vile assassins, that we stand in the dawn of a Golden Age that will leave your grubby politics in the dust. In this new world we will celebrate creative disruption over creative destruction, and stability over stagnation. Creative disruption is tech startups and reusable rockets; creative destruction is Communism and Fascism. Stability is marriage and family and a face-to-face moral life; stagnation is big-government programs that never get reformed.
And we are just getting started.
