No serious human thinks the threat is coming from the Right. No one paying attention even entertains that concept. I remember I was at lunch with a co-worker when the O. J. Simson verdict was announced and, oh, I'd say half the crew at the restaurant were deliriously happy, shouting and screaming. I laughed on the way out and said "Com'on, let's go downtown and riot." (just joking, white guys don't riot).
I know from history FDR's opponents drank toasts, JFK's opponents drank toasts, but none of them did it out in the open, and certainly not on TV or radio (or Internet, as this was before Al Gore). All we got were pitiful pictures of a black guy crying while playing an accordion. Today, you have to get in line to wish Trump the worst. Maybe Iran could issue sponsor T-shirts.
I thought it was great Libs for TikTok has spent the last few days doxing people for advocating Trump's assassination (or bemoaning the shooters accuracy) on-line. At least 10 have been fired so far, strangely quite a few in academia.
They need to be fired, and a lot of others need to be smacked around a bit, but I don't see right-wingers doing it. Again, the Right just isn't up to it. They're have too much fun at the convention.
Including Joy Reid shows no originality Ann...You could be the biggest African American idol to the entire black population and Joy Reid would find a reason to call them racist...she is a disgrace to all things american except for the fact that she is in the 1% of earners...it is surprising how no one has [icketed outside her expensive Ny home...
Beautiful review of USA history! Thank you - this article should be required reading, instead of the DEI garbage, and all baloney of the "heritage months." ALL of this is hidden in education today. We don't want to offend Democrats and Socialists.
President Trump displayed amazing fortitude by showing up on the first night of the Republican National Convention. After being shot, walking into a sea of people would be tough to do. Most people was have at least an element of PTSD. Trump is as tough as nails. I suspect Putin, Xi Jinping, Kim Jong-Un, and Ali Khamene appreciate his fierceness and unpredictability. No surprise there is a contract out on Trump by Iran - they all hate Trump as much as the US progressives. (Eh, "Death to America" probably covers all of us and all US Presidents.)
However, Don Trump Jr said, "When people like Iran want to take you out, that probably means it's good for America, bad for Iran . . . . that may be the greatest political endorsement ever." Joe's stretched out on Rehoboth Beach - no one bothers with him.
Joy Reid says Trump shouldn’t be allowed to 'play the victim' after getting shot by someone who was trying to blow his brains out! (She graduated Harvard.) People are doubting he was even shot - they want to see the wound (stick their dirty fingers on it maybe?) while even mocking the bandage. Isn't a bandage pretty basic first aid? It's not like he wrapped his head like the fife player on the "Spirit of '76" painting by Archibald M. Willard (for centennial exhibit in Philadelphia in 1876).
I hope "they"* sort out what went wrong with Trump's protection - in addition to the short women, one seen ducking behind Trump! Hate to think any of the neglect could be intentional. Watching the new footage of the 20 year old on film walking around the building in full view is disturbing. The attacks on him will not cease, particularly when/if he wins in November. I don't want to see another President killed. 1963 left a scar on this country that no bandage could ever cover.
Ann left out John Hinckley's shooting of Ronald Reagan. Who proved he really was insane by shooting Reagan to prove his love of actress Jody Foster only to find out she's gay. Hinckley at least had the temerity to comment of Thomas Matthews Crooks shooting of Trump by texting on X, "Violence is not the way to go. Give peace a chance."
Thank you for the excellent article Ann! Democrats hijacked control over every single social institution in America. From Media and Academia to Unions, Corporations and now the FBI. They dictate Americans what to eat, what to smoke, what to drink, ets. Left-wingers hate free speech and distrust citizens with firearms. Yet, somehow it's conservatives who're danger to democracy? Left-wingers engaging in projection.
But what to do about it? Conservatives could easily liquidate the anarchist left; but this would invite a totalitarian State response. We tend to be bootlicking worshippers of police and military, unfortunately. We could continue in the "libruls are the real racists" polemical vein; but imperviousness to reason, irony and introspection are what make a progressive in the first place. It's probably too late in the game to reimpose voting restrictions. Perhaps our best bet is to stand in solidarity with registered Democrats' right to abortion on demand.
Today it’s called gas lighting. Our great California Governor Gavin Newsom excudes the same piggish rhetoric that he accuses former President Trump of. End of story. Psychopaths or just psychology?
...and let's not forget that the Dems took political violence to its ultimate heinous manifestation by initiating a Civil War to preserve their beloved institution of slavery.
While I'm not Donald Trump's biggest fan, the greatest threat to "our democracy" is a second term for Joe Stalin.
Classic Coulter!

Thank you so much for this superb article that puts things in perspective.
Thank you Ann, this was a great read.

If we're lucky, your average liberal reads the list above, stares into space for maybe five seconds, and then resumes the "Trump is Hitler" routine.

So much low hanging fruit… way to knock it out of the park.

Brilliant, Ann.
