The left’s “any means necessary” approach to stopping Trump has reached its logical conclusion. First, they used the apparatus of the national security state to accuse Trump of being a foreign mole. Then they used the judicial system to charge him with being an enemy of the state. Now Trump will be added to the list of presidents and presidential candidates who have been shot “in the line of duty” (not that I’m suggesting the assassination attempt was state sanctioned). I think it’s a safe bet that had Trump been killed yesterday, this country would right now be spiraling towards civil war (and not a rhetorical one). Perhaps we still are.
Nearly a year ago I wrote something (The Guns of August) that I think captures the perils of the left’s attempts to save democracy from Donald Trump:
