Above is the guy who was trying to kill the President and as many of his aides and Cabinet members as possible last night. (I don’t care what his name is.) You can read his “manifesto” here. The news media is calling it “unhinged.” It’s not unhinged. This is an arrogant, well-educated, erudite narcissist who has been indoctrinated by the Axis of Unethical Conduct’s propaganda over ten years to the point where he believed that assassinating the President of the United States is a patriotic act. John Wilkes Booth believed the same thing. He wasn’t unhinged either.
The key quote in the message is: “I am no longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes.” There is no evidence that Trump is a pedophile. There is no evidence that he is a rapist. There is no evidence that he is a traitor, or that he has committed any crimes in office. But the news media and its message-makers within “the resistance” and the Democratic Party have been working hard to convince the weak of mind or narrow of perception that up is down and black is white. Outside the White House Correspondents Dinner, demonstrators carried signs saying “Death to tyrants” and “Death to all of them.” The failed assassin isn’t the wacko outlier that the Trump Deranged want sane people to think he is. He is one of them. He got his news and information from MSNBC and CNN, and believed this…
Last night Richard Grennell tweeted to CNN’s Jake Tapper, “You encourage the mentally unstable to take action against Trump every night.” Grennell is wrong. Tapper and his colleagues encourage normal, functioning Americans to hate and oppose their President every night. Another “X” used wrote, “Most of the people in that Washington Hilton ballroom tonight are morally responsible for what just happened. For over 10 years they’ve pushed the most hateful, vile conspiracies: Trump is a threat to democracy, a dictator, literally Hitler 2.0. They demonized him nonstop, normalized violence in their rhetoric, then acted shocked when the inevitable keeps occurring.” That is correct. So is the Instapundit contributor who wrote that MSNBC is complicit in last night’s attempted murder.
I played Scrabble last night with a smart, passionate, kind neighbor who is a private tutor who does wonderful work for various charities, and who devotes her spare time to helping the poor. She texted me today that she was in “mourning” because President Trump was still alive.
If there aren’t enough sane, principled, informed voters who care sufficiently in November to make sure that the party and the parties responsible for inflicting this hate plague on the nation do not gain control of the government, then American society will have proven that it is no longer worthy of a republic.

I knew either a “manifesto” was discovered or it was found out the shooter was a progressive when reporting on the incident disappeared.

Would it be out of line to say that’s a punchable face?

I hope this plays a part in the description or characteristics of Trump Deranged people. They are not unhinged. In virtually every other way, they are kind, intelligent, reasonable people.
I read it somewhere – maybe here – that this is not extremist behavior. If they say it and no one is shocked, then it isn’t the extreme, its the norm. The norm is that half, if not most of the left is eager for death to their enemies. And the rest pretend to be neutral while providing cover. “You’re right, both sides need to turn down the rhetoric…” no, one side needs to stop trying to shoot the other side. Eventually, they’re going to succeed, and the door of ‘if you disagree with them, just shoot them’ will be opened. Like the ark of the covenant in raiders of the lost ark.

Great post. All these points needed to be noted.
Question: where are EA’s bold Defenders of the Left? Where’s Jerry? Jan Chapman? Curmie? Here’s Johnny? I want to hear the explanation for how there are two sides of this issue from EC?
Or answer my question: “What’s wrong with these people?”
Of course, nothing will change from here on out whenever the Republicans are in power. J.D. Vance or Marco Rubio will be given the Trump treatment if either of them becomes president. It’s the Democrat game plan from here on out. It’s not Trump specific. These white lefties are ruthless and blood thirsty.

Although I agree with your overall frustration, on the boldfaced point, I disagree.
Unless the vote is 100% in favor of the Democratic Party across the entire USA then it will show that we are still worthy of a republic; however, if the Democrats win by any margin, in any race, it will show us that there is a portion of “We the People of the United States of America” that really don’t give a flying fuck about the United States of America and will do anything they can to take down the Trump administration and anyone that supports it even if that means that the USA has to fail. Their absolute dedication to their delusional thinking is truly cultish.
I truly believe that the left’s rhetoric shows us that the political left believes that any system that allows a person like Donald Trump to become the President of the United States must be terribly flawed and evil, therefore it must be destroyed and rebuilt from the ground up. I’m also convinced that Democratic Party voters, especially those suffering from TDS, actively swallow any and all anti-Trump propaganda that’s presented to them as absolute truth with zero critical thinking and this tells us that they’re psychologically deluded and/or anti-American morons, and in either case it tells us that they’re so dedicated to their “cult” that they’re too damned stupid to realize it unless they’re deprogrammed. In my opinion, these people are not fixable outside psychological deprogramming.
There’s a huge swath of the adult population in the USA that’s had their critical thinking effectively destroyed and their psyche either indoctrinated or coercively persuaded (aka brainwashed) by creating intense fear or emotional arousal with constant propaganda, fear of isolation, peer pressure, outright intimidation, and threats. It’s as if there’s an invisible group of psychiatrists and psychologists controlling an actual cult.
Lastly; what if this attempted assassination operation by a lone wolf had been performed by a dozen or two reasonably trained individuals working in coordination with each other, the outcome could have and very likely could have been entirely different and would have been called an attempted coup. So based on the written manifesto and the fact that the goal of this assassin was to assassinate the President of the United States and as many of his cabinet members a possible, why isn’t this attempt being called an attempted coup and prosecuted under treason laws? There should not be any of that nonsense not guilty because of mental illness allowed, this was premeditated and very calculated. This traitor should be put to death and I’ll personally volunteer to drive myself to any prison anywhere in the USA to squeeze off the life ending round with my own firearm and ammunition – it won’t cost the American people one red cent.
