Yet another nutjob took a shot at President Trump, this being the second attempt on his life that we know about.
And in deep red Alabama, somebody torched a display of Trump made of haybales, prompting a monetary award by the family that created the display to catch the perpetrator.[1]
For years now, we have been fed a constant barrage of Goebbels-style propaganda that Trump supporters are the violent ones. From the so-called “insurrection” of January 2021 (or what Sen. Schumer [D-NY] called the “erection”)[2], to the incident in Charlottesville, NC, we have been told that Trump and his supporters are the violent ones.
In my deep red state, I walk over 2 miles every other day through my neighborhood. I have counted multiple “Harris/Walz” yard signs. Not one of them has been damaged, destroyed or stolen. Yet, if the theory that Trump supporters are violent and dangerous, doesn’t it stand to reason that supporters of Harris would not dare to put up a sign in a state that is a Trump stronghold? After all, somebody might destroy the signs, or worse, vandalize their homes. Obviously, these folks have no fear of the latter occurring.
As an aside, the most accurate sign I’ve seen is the one that hails the Dem-Team as “the Prosecutor and Teacher.” Apparently, it has never dawned on these mindless sock puppets that Uncle Kamy has declared her desire to prosecute speech she doesn’t like, and that Tampon Tim will emulate the Dear Teacher from North Korea. Or maybe they do understand this, and are engaged in a “Freudian slip.”
In contrast, I’ve not seen one “Trump/Vance” sign in my neighborhood. Perhaps it’s because they know that this is Trump Country, and no signs are needed. But could it instead be something else? Could they be like some I personally know who refuse to put things like that in their yard or on their car for fear of violent backlash?
Back in 1996, I was doing state-level campaign work in New Hampshire, and happened to help out the Pat Buchanan team on the side. While picking up signs at the Buchanan for President HQ in Manchester, a group of homosexuals who had just finished a rally showed up, screaming “Sieg Heil!” and giving Nazi salutes. My car, with a Buchanan sticker on the back, became a target. As I tried to get out, a vehicle screeched up and blocked me in. The mob was howling and beating fists on my car, and I thought, “they’re gonna roll my car.” I got assistance from police officer and managed to get my car out of there… barely.
I’ve known folks whose cars have been keyed, windows smashed, and even homes vandalized, because they had a sticker or sign of a conservative candidate displayed. And I’ve seen plenty of my candidate’s campaign signs stolen, vandalized or destroyed, even though on private property. While I’ve known of some conservative activists who destroyed leftist campaign signs that were along public roads, I’ve never heard of a single instance where a leftist had their car or house vandalized, or even their person being physically assaulted, though I’m sure it’s happened somewhere at some time.
But what I’ve seen and experienced over my 40 plus years of conservative political work is that leftists are the ones who engage in vandalism, violence and slanderous attacks. I’ve had candidates falsely accused of criminal activity, and one received sufficient threats that he needed an armed bodyguard.
This is the reality of our age, where the leftists operate as a modern-day Brown Shirt Sturmabteilung, even as they scream “democracy” and accuse conservatives of what they themselves are doing.
