After the assassination of well-known influencer and Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, there has been an outpouring of emotion, both mourning and celebrating his death. When asked if the charges of “Fascist” and “literally Hitler” that have been aimed at President Trump and his supporters for 10 years may have influenced the shooter, career politician Nancy Pelosi of California said, “We can’t be responsible for the actions of those who hear us.” But the shooter engraved “Catch this, Fascist” on his shell casings. That seems like a straight line connection to me.
When asked a similar question about whether Democrats calling Trump and his supporters Fascists could cause radical violence, Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren scoffed and immediately changed the subject to “Trump’s rhetoric.” I guess in her mind, Charlie Kirk deserved killing because he disagreed with Democrats. Is that any different than “If she didn’t want to be raped she shouldn’t have worn such a short skirt”?
The pundits on the left have made a valiant effort to spread the lie that the shooter was “MAGA” but he was living with a trans “girlfriend” so, no sale. A recent poll found that 48% of Democrats said it would be at least acceptable if Elon Musk was assassinated and 55% said assassinating Donald Trump would be fine with them. Because they celebrated the assassination of Charlie Kirk, hundreds of people have been fired from their jobs, including left-wing journalists.
A lot of people have voted Democrat because they were told that was the compassionate thing to do, but is that true? Was it ever true? After all, the Democrats in the South started the most bloody war in US history 165 years ago because they didn’t like the outcome of the election that saw the first Republican president elected. They were afraid he would free their black slaves. In 1865, when the Democrat South lost the war and the slaves were indeed freed, Republican generals had to be installed as governors in southern states because the Democrat majority state legislatures refused to approve the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments which officially freed the slaves, gave African Americans citizenship and the right to vote. Martial law was lifted in 1868, but it would be two more years before all the southern states approved the amendments and were readmitted to the Union.
A Democrat assassinated Abraham Lincoln, the Republican president whose election they would not accept. Shortly after, Democrats in the South created the Ku Klux Klan as their terrorist wing. I have seen cross burnings first hand in Alabama and there was a lynching a few miles from where I lived in the late 1970s.
For almost 100 years, the Democrat majority in the South tacitly condoned the terrorism of the Ku Klux Klan and instituted “Jim Crow” laws to obstruct the voting rights of African Americans. Nevertheless, many African Americans were able to be elected to local office and the US Congress as Republicans, beginning in 1870. It was not until 1935 that a black politician was elected to Congress as a Democrat.
Democrats in Congress like Al Gore, Sr., filibustered the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and it would not have passed without overwhelming Republican support. Democrat President Lyndon Johnson signed it, but he vowed to “have those n*s voting Democrat for 100 years.”
Democrats claim that, after that, “the parties switched” and Republicans became the racists, however Republicans were not consulted and Democrats continued to exploit African Americans and take them for granted, crippling them economically with welfare programs which kept them dependent and voting Democrat.
In the election of 2024, Donald Trump doubled his share of votes from Gen Z, African-American men and Hispanics. The murder of Charlie Kirk may have accelerated that trend. There is anecdotal evidence of a visceral reaction to the celebrations of his death, with young people of all races recoiling and vowing to “never vote Democrat again.”
Leftist groups like the Weather Underground committed a string of bombings in the 1960s and 70s and, during the 1980s, leftists bombed the US Capitol building. A deranged leftist tried to assassinate President Reagan. Yes, Timothy McVey and his co-conspirators bombed the Federal building in Oklahoma City where I was born, and in 2021, there was a right-wing riot at the US Capitol with questionable origins (at least 25 FBI assets were in the crowd and Capitol police ushered many protesters into the building). Democrats used Jan6 as a cudgel against Republicans for four years, even while they justified the riots by BLM and Antifa that burned swaths of multiple cities to the ground and killed a score of people.
Leftist rent-a-mobs continue to agitate and obstruct law enforcement today. Would-be assassins tried to kill President Trump twice. A few years ago a Democrat shot Republican lawmakers at a baseball field, but Democrats say all the violence is coming from the right.
