It emphasizes that acts of dehumanization, mocking, and violence against conservatives and law enforcement agencies have become normalized, fostering a culture where political violence is accepted or even encouraged. The piece criticizes the failure of authorities to adequately confront and deter this violence, which has emboldened radicals and led to events like threats against government officials, assaults on ICE agents, and attempted assassinations. It warns that mocking and trivializing such violence, exemplified by Hasan Piker\u2019s mockery of Charlie Kirk, perpetuates dehumanization and sets the stage for future acts of political violence, exacerbating the ongoing crisis.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>When President Donald Trump was nearly assassinated in Butler, Pennsylvania in July of 2024, the moment was assumed (perhaps naively) by some on the right to be a watershed moment. The egregious display of political violence that was the culmination of a years-long assassination prep campaign against the president and more broadly, Republicans, was certainly the last, so many thought.<\/p>\n<p>It was not. <\/p>\n<p>A little more than a year later, Charlie Kirk was murdered on a Utah college campus for speaking to students. And it\u2019s more clear now than ever that even Kirk\u2019s murder won\u2019t be the watershed moment the country needs, as evidence by the recent viral mocking of Kirk.<\/p>\n<p>Islamic Marxist <a href=\"https:\/\/foxbaltimore.com\/news\/nation-world\/leftist-streamer-hasan-piker-mocks-charlie-kirk-during-a-live-show-turning-point-usa-podcast-conservatives\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hasan Piker<\/a> mocked Kirk during a live tour performance, singing the \u201cWe Are Charlie Kirk\u201d song as his podcast co-hosts and audience laughed.<\/p>\n<p>The sick mocking was just another act of assassination prep. When political opponents are dehumanized, their suffering is a \u201cjoke\u201d and audiences and the public are gradually conditioned to treat their murders as funny, justified and even deserved. This creates a culture in which political violence becomes normalized and accepted.<\/p>\n<p>Nearly one year after Kirk\u2019s murder, the message to the radical left from the right is that it can still mock the victim before cheering crowds with no meaningful social or political consequence. That reality reflects a failure of the right to crack down on the violent moment that produced Kirk\u2019s killer and continues to threaten Americans, the administration, and officials nationwide.<\/p>\n<p>Trump <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/09\/18\/trump-i-am-designating-antifa-as-a-major-terrorist-organization\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">announced<\/a> he was designating <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/09\/25\/davis-the-time-for-talk-is-over-trump-needs-to-crush-antifa-now\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Antifa<\/a> as a terrorist organization just days after Kirk was murdered. But as <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2026\/06\/01\/anti-law-enforcement-riots-like-new-jerseys-will-escalate-without-stronger-deterrence\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">I previously wrote<\/a>, the administration needs to act \u201cwith sufficient and necessary force\u201d to solve left-wing violence, but that doesn\u2019t appear to have happened yet. That failure is both producing and accelerating left-wing violence and assassination prep, as evidenced by Piker\u2019s cruel mocking.<\/p>\n<p>And each time someone is able to add to this culture of dehumanization, it helps lay the groundwork for future political violence. Each failure to crush the organizations and networks behind political violence signals that each escalation will have few repercussions.<\/p>\n<p>Take for example what has happened since Kirk\u2019s murder. Just a few weeks after Kirk was murdered, \u201cNo Kings\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/10\/20\/make-assassinations-great-again-leftist-demonstrators-call-for-murder-of-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">protests sprung up<\/a> across the country, with several protesters outright calling for the murder of Trump. Some protesters even had signs calling for political violence against ICE agents. That rhetoric (the same type of rhetoric that led to the many assassination attempts against the president) is the type that leads to the December incident in which four far-left <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2025\/12\/16\/foiled-left-wing-terrorist-attack-must-be-the-beginning-not-end-of-trumps-antifa-crackdown\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">extremists<\/a> were arrested for allegedly planning a series of New Year\u2019s Eve bombings and an ambush on <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2026\/06\/01\/anti-law-enforcement-riots-like-new-jerseys-will-escalate-without-stronger-deterrence\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ICE officers<\/a> in Los Angeles.<\/p>\n<p>During Operation Metro Surge in Minneapolis just a few weeks later, one rioter bit off an ICE agent\u2019s finger. In May a <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/DAGToddBlanche\/status\/2060475057231552582?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">rioter<\/a> was charged \u201cfor allegedly kicking and biting ICE officers\u201d at a New Jersey illegal immigrant holding center, acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said on X.\u00a0Another individual was <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/DAGToddBlanche\/status\/2060517840457724130?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">arrested<\/a> after threatening to murder an immigration officer and his family. <\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, 31-year-old <a href=\"https:\/\/thefederalist.com\/2026\/04\/26\/the-secret-service-failed-trump-again\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Cole Allen<\/a> rushed past a Secret Service checkpoint while armed with a shotgun, a handgun, and multiple knives at the White House Correspondents Association dinner this past April. He then headed toward the ballroom at the Washington Hilton Hotel, where Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance, and other members of the cabinet were. Allen was ultimately subdued by law enforcement. <em>That<\/em> assassination attempt was a result of the years-long assassination prep campaign against the president that dehumanized him as Hitler and painted him as an existential threat that would not be solved with an election.<\/p>\n<p>These incidents are part of a larger problem \u2014 left wing violence. For years the left has said Trump is Hitler, conservatives are fascists, ICE is the Gestapo, and signaled that elections are not enough to stop them. Once people accept those premises, it justifies resistance by any means necessary and up to and including violence, which we have seen. <\/p>\n<p>This is why Piker\u2019s sick joke matters. Laughing at Kirk\u2019s murder isn\u2019t just cruel and depraved and a sign of the devil. It reinforces this idea that murdering a conservative is a joke, isn\u2019t that important and then signals to the next radical that their violence will be met with applause and laughter rather than universal condemnation. <\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>      Brianna Lyman is an elections correspondent at The Federalist.
