trump’s open season on “the left” will backfire. It is intentional madness.

“ I mean, he already pardoned everyone involved in January 6th. I mean, these kinds of Trump outrages—it’s obvious in a way, but there’s such a long list that we forget he pardoned, I think, thousands of his supporters who committed crimes. And so, if that wasn’t a sanction to do whatever you want in terms of political violence on Trump’s behalf—that he would at least look the other way—I don’t know what is.”

“Stephen Miller is a very close ally of FBI director Kash Patel. I’ve got to think Miller is whispering in Patel’s ear right now about how the FBI has to really ramp up against the left, against the liberal groups and so forth, and how the Kirk assassination is their moment. I don’t think they put it that way, but I think they see it that way.”

“I think this administration has been looking for kind of like an incident that they could use as a real crackdown on the left. I think they were in some ways almost disappointed that the occupation of D.C. hasn’t produced really violent protests or some kind of incident they could lean on. I also think about when they sent the troops into Los Angeles during the riots—basically, they didn’t seem to get what they wanted in terms of a big enough excuse, like a 2020-level civil unrest, that they could use. But even then, I think there was some of this groundwork being laid of, what are the organizations that are funding these protests? What are, you and sort of these three degrees of, well, you had this protest and then one guy did something violent. So now you as this wealthy liberal are responsible. And so I think that was kind of laying the groundwork. And now I think they’ll see something like this as a potential opportunity.


Intentional madness. None of this is positive for the U.S.
 
Rise in politically motivated violence since 2002. Recent 5 study from Robert Pape, professor at univ of Chicago showed 39% of democrats said violence to remove Trump from the Presidency was justified. 24% of republicans said U.S military to suppress democratic protesters was justified. The study says social change is driving the rise in violence. The switch from white majority to minority 69% to 57% white non hispanic majority.
 
I think you are wrong and I think the Charlie Kirk assasination is going to drive many more toward the right. The recent shootings by transgender persons is also going to be a factor that drives some to the right.
I don't think the alleged Kirk shooter had any idea of the result of his actions in driving the rise toward the conservative agenda. The violence and the rise in illegal immigration during the Biden administration is pushing many to the right and the Kirk shooting is just adding that movement. The fact that TPUSA already had a large following and presence on colleges and universities in America is going to be magnified due to the murder of Charlie Kirk. The fact it happened on a campus and the shooter is allegedly involved with a transitioning partner are going to cause more movement.
