A sound no one wanted to hear but one that was the culmination of the moral rot that has infested our political left and corporate left-wing media. The assassination attempt on Donald Trump was an act of depraved wickedness \u2014 but not everyone sees it that way because corporate media spent months desensitizing Americans to the possibility of such an egregious attempt. <\/p>\n<p>For years the left has smeared Trump and his supporters as \u201cthreats to democracy.\u201d Pundits portrayed Trump as a man akin to Adolf Hitler. But these deliberate and malicious misrepresentations of Trump were part of the left\u2019s plan to prep the public for an assassination attempt against Trump. As Federalist Co-Founder and CEO <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/seanmdav\/status\/1732931279421579321\">Sean Davis<\/a> explained back in December, this type of rhetoric is \u201cassassination prep by the corrupt regime.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is an obvious information operation meant to justify and even incite the most extreme measures, up to and including unconscionable violence.

The answer, unless something radical and unforeseen happens, is: Of course he can.\u201d Kagan concluded that the \u201codds are \u2026 pretty good\u201d that Trump would become a dictator.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Trump administration will be filled with people who will not need <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/analysis-these-are-the-most-preposterous-abuses-of-power-in-the-covid-19-era\/\" title=\"ANALYSIS: These Are The Most Preposterous Abuses Of Power In The COVID-19 Era\">explicit instruction<\/a> from Trump, any more than Hitler\u2019s local Gauleiters needed instruction.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Federalist\u2019s Editor-in-Chief Mollie Hemingway <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/MZHemingway\/status\/1731835390632280261\">said<\/a> in December that \u201cthis extreme and dangerous genre \u2014 of claiming Trump is Hitler (because, they say, he might do what Democrats are doing right now) \u2014 should probably be given the name \u2018Assassination Prep.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>An article in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2023\/12\/19\/biden-trump-hitler-00132367\">Politico<\/a> written last December by Holly Otterbein, Elena Schneider, and Jonathan Lemire gave cover to Biden and his team for comparing Trump to Hitler, arguing \u201chistorians\u201d also agree that Trump is akin to a dictator like Hitler.<\/p>\n<p>The Atlantic\u2019s Ron Brownstein <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/seanmdav\/status\/1733868292975022370\">said<\/a> Trump\u2019s second term \u201ccould create the greatest threat to the nation\u2019s cohesion since the Civil War.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Hill\u2019s opinion contributor Jacob Ware <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/opinion\/national-security\/4411720-assassination-attempts-are-on-the-rise-worldwide-is-the-us-next\/\">tried<\/a> to lessen the blow in a January piece warning that \u201cassassination attempts are on the rise worldwide \u2014 is the US next?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ware explained that the United States \u201chas avoided a successful high-profile assassination during the recent escalation in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/betsy-mccaughey-the-january-6-committee-travesty\/\" title=\"Betsy McCaughey: The January 6 Committee Travesty\">domestic political violence<\/a>, but not for the lack of trying,\u201d citing attempts on former Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Ware, however, then went on to blame Trump. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn the United States, to be sure, norms of civility have frayed, driven in no small part by a former president who seems to delight in threatening violence against his political opponents,\u201d Ware wrote, tying in a post from Trump in which he insinuated Mitch McConnell\u2019s siding with Democrats would be political suicide and comments he made calling out former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley\u2019s alleged collusion with China. Without a hint of irony, Ware went on to say that Trump\u2019s language \u201cdehumanizes political rivals, and may in turn demystify the act of killing them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The notion Ware posited, however, isn\u2019t wrong \u2014 it\u2019s just misdirected. Rhetoric comparing Trump to a murderous dictator or the greatest threat to our nation is meant to dehumanize him and, in turn, \u201cdemystify the act of killing\u201d him.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s why the media is downplaying the assassination attempt as a mere \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/07\/13\/early-media-reports-call-trump-bleeding-after-he-was-shot-an-incident\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">incident<\/a>\u201d or \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2024\/07\/14\/major-media-outlets-refuse-to-call-attack-on-trumps-life-an-assassination-attempt\/\">shooting<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Take, for example, The Denver Post, which had a photo of Trump triumphantly fist-pumping to the crowd with a bloodied face while being rushed to safety with the caption \u201cGUNMAN DIES IN ATTACK.\u201d A small subhead reads, \u201cTrump says he was shot in ear.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This wasn\u2019t an mere \u201cattack,\u201d nor a matter of hearsay.<\/p>\n<p>Trump was the victim of an attempted assassination.
