The sliding doors of political violence: what if Trump's near assassination had succeeded? : Comments

By Vince Hooper, published 15/7/2024

What if the attempt had succeeded? How would it have reshaped the political landscape, and what lessons must we learn from this close call?

America has assassinated 4 presidents, and shot 2: Reagan and now Trump.

Some democracy!

The “media's role in a crisis”? Forget any media that said Trump “fell”; and the media that wouldn't publish the photo of a defiant Trump, blood running down his face, fist clenched, calling “fight”.

The media is rubbish, and complicit in the downfall of ‘democracy’.

Security measures? A midget female standing next to Trump, barely up to his chest?

Albanese said the attempt on Trump's life was “inappropriate”; he forgot to say that the gunman was “unprofessional”, as he does every time Communist China threatens ADF personnel.

Described as the "ugliest presidential election year since 1968", it should be alerting our own political class to the necessity of being able to look after Australia ourselves, and not rely on other countries as we do now.

First, we need politicians who are capable of being alert.

The Democrats are desperate. Add Trumps assassination attempt to the failed Judicial manipulations against him; the estimated seven million illegal border crossings filling the US with terrorist guns for hire, to add to their dirty work, and this is worse than a dead Democracy, it becomes a coup attempt by the Democrats towards endless rule in real terms.

Slightly off topic, Eric Kaufmann interestingly was saying recently that young women have moved further to the Marxist side of politics whereas young men have stood more or less in a similar position on the Traditionalist side. Feminism seems to be heavily influenced by Marxism. Though many women don't identify as feminist they appear complicit in some or many of the ideas- as all seek power. Hopefully young women start to seek more legitimate forms of power.

The broad woke, Afro-American's, students, feminists, women in general, the media, and others need to take responsibility for cause and effect and look for ways to insulate themselves from Marxist 'raven' seduction, not just for America but for their own future.

I hope young women as a group see their error in their Marxist creepings.

It's interesting that Vince Hooper draws an implicit link between a loss of dialogue aka "free speech" and violence. It's fascinating how the violence develops once the shooting starts. It seems ironically that it has been the Woke/ Democratic side of politics that have 'licensed' it's followers in this case. I suppose that once you shut down opposition opinion completely, all you hear is yourself, and your own uncorrected purity spiral of madness.

"young women have moved further to the Marxist side of politics whereas young men have stood more or less in a similar position on the Traditionalist side. "

Orwell 1984....

" It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers-out of unorthodoxy.”

Orwell came to these conclusions following his experiences of the female Marxists he encountered during his time fighting in the Spanish Civil War, commenting that they were the most violent toward capture enemies and perceived enemies, the most doctrinaire, the most fearfully aggressive.

Feminist ideology maintains that a world run by them would be safer, more peaceful, less belligerent, more caring. The exact opposite has been shown to be true.

mhaze,
It's a fact & another fact is that it is being vehemently disputed despite the evidence all around !
