The attempted assassination of Donald Trump yesterday was shocking but certainly not surprising. While they’ve been careful not to directly demand it, since at least 2015, many in America’s ruling class have invited such an attack with their repeated denunciations of Donald Trump and his supporters.
Early in the Biden Regime, someone – I don’t have the quote handy – commented that, historically, presidential candidates and presidents would attack their political opponents but not their opponents’ supporters. That’s not the case anymore.
Obama started it with his comments about the “bitter clingers,” which was the term he used to put down impoverished small-town and rural whites, who he dismissively described as bitter and clinging to their guns and religion.
