There was nothing radical about Cole Tomas Allen: the attempted White House Correspondents’ Dinner assassin. Allen’s manifesto reads a lot like that of the previous three-named assassin Ryan Wesley Routh who was stalking President Trump at a golf game.
Apart from the explicit murder plots, there is nothing in Routh’s ‘Dear World’ letter and Allen’s manifesto that you wouldn’t find in the Washington Post, a Jimmy Kimmel or Stephen Colbert monologue or a rant by a Democrat member of Congress. Routh was obsessed with Iran and Ukraine, sounding like Thomas Friedman when he complained that Trump had “ended relations with Iran like a child and now the Middle East has unraveled.”
Allen offered even more generic foreign policy criticisms that seemed plucked from network newscasts and fake news coverage of Trump’s campaign against illegal alien criminals, drug cartels, Islamic terrorists in Iran and the cutoff of funds to USAID, ranting about being "raped in a detention camp”, “fisherman executed without trial” “schoolkid blown up” or “a child starved”.
The Democrats have become an existential threat.
Yes, they are. And that threat is normalized amongst their base.
ReplyDeleteKeep your powder dry.
Who would have thought it would get this bad?
ReplyDeleteIs the Dem insanity general? Or are the less demented Ds walking away, leaving the really hardcore nutjobs in an ever smaller and ever intensifying cluster of venomous hate? And getting all the media attention?
ReplyDeleteIt appears that this mindset (a/k/a "insanity") is normalized within the donk's base. Certainly the national leadership preaches it.
DeleteThere are likely classic liberals (i.e., sane people) who reject this, but given the ferocity shown those who do leave the plantation, they are staying quiet.
How do they vote? Good question.
The party is drifting leftward (or, rather, galloping leftward). I hate the Democratic Party and everything it stands for, I despise its leadership, and I have lost patience with the rank and file who have either embraced the party's inhumane and authoritarian policies and the accelerating violence of its will to power, or are enabling it all through their ignorance.
