…I thought you might want to read Martin Gurri’s article for the New York Post, which details where the violent political rhetoric is really coming from.
Here is how it begins:
The second assassination attempt against Donald Trump gave us a moment of profound insight.
“My father hates Trump,” said the son of the would-be assassin, “like every reasonable person does.”
Who are these reasonable haters, you may ask?
Let’s begin with the sitting president of the United States, Joe Biden, whose reason may be clouded by the passage of time but whose opinions on the subject are sharp enough. According to Biden, Trump must be considered, if not exactly armed, then “dangerous,” as the leader of “an extremist movement that does not share the basic beliefs of our democracy.” Trumpism is an “assault on democracy,” “a threat to our democracy” — in short, “semi-fascism,” the president has declared.
What reasonable person would refuse to hate a semi-Mussolini?
Certainly not Kamala Harris, vice president and Democratic Party candidate for the presidency.
“Trump is a danger to our troops, our security, and our democracy,” Harris tells us. The former president, Harris has said, masterminded “the worst attack on democracy since the Civil War.”
What reasonable person wouldn’t hate the second coming of Jefferson Davis?
Mr. Gurri goes on to compile a voluminous list of examples, some worse than what you just read, from Democrats, Democrat supporters and media (that’s right, media).
I urge you to read the entire piece, think about what these people and organizations have said about Donald Trump…
…and then reflect on Mr. Gurri’s concluding paragraphs:
Every day, a hundred times a day, unambivalently, from the most powerful, influential and authoritative voices, we hear a similar question being asked: Who will rid us of this dangerous usurper? In our fractured and distempered society, it sounds like an invitation. There are plenty of disordered minds among us who mix hunger for attention with the glorification of violence.
They hear the call. Where the reasonable hate so starkly, the unreasoning, we may be sure, feel free to act.
The only meaningful question we should ask about Trump isn’t political but existential: How is this man still alive?
So: with the above in mind, which party is actually fomenting political violence?
This gives you a pretty clear understanding of the real answer.
