‘Existential Threat to Democracy’

 Given the flood of dangerous rhetoric, the shooter could have easily thought he was protecting our democracy from a Hitler-like dictator.

If the shooter listened to the Democratic Party's spokespersons in the Biden campaign, on Capitol Hill, or in the media, he could be forgiven for thinking that by killing Trump he was saving our democracy.

Neoconservative Robert Kagan in the Washington Post compared Trump to Julius Caesar, and we all know what happened to Caesar.

Mike Godwin in the Washington Post says its alright to compare Trump to Hitler.

Talk-show host Thom Hartmann has written about "Trump's similarities to Hitler," and ominously warned that "It could happen here." MSNBC this past December said, "Donald Trump has truly earned comparisons to Adolf Hitler." David Lee Preston, writing in the Philadelphia Inquirer, said it is not wrong to compare Trump to Hitler.

Hillary Clinton on the View, compared Trump to Hitler.

Democratic lawfare has not succeeded in ending what they call Trump's "Threat to democracy." President Biden's poor debate performance improved Trump's chances of winning in November.

We do not yet know any details about the shooter's motivations, except that he tried to kill Trump presumably to stop him from becoming president again.
