Republicans Perpetrated 85% of Political Assassinations in the US

Republicans keep shooting at Trump. Why is that the Left's problem?

Today, a man hid in shrubs on a Trump golf course and pointed a gun in Trump’s direction. He did not fire any rounds. It appears to be another assassination attempt on former executive Donald Trump.

Predictably, conservatives have blamed the left for this, despite the perpetrator being some kind of insane neo-conservative never-Trump Republican. More broadly, the vast majority of assassinations in this country are conducted by Republicans.

In the past 5 years, 7 people have attempted to kill statewide and federal officials.

Perpetrators: 6 of the perpetrators were Republicans (or conservatives or rightists), 1 of the perpetrators was a Democrat (or liberal or leftist).

Victims: 3 of the victims were Democrats, 3 were Republicans. Trump has been a victim twice. Remarkably, most attacks against Reps were led by Reps (3/4).

Casualties: All 14 casualties resulted from attacks perpetrated by Republicans.

Some liberals will be cowed into being kinder toward Republicans.

This is absurd. The right does not care if their rhetoric kills us.

After the Pulse nightclub shooting, rightist pundits cheered and called queer people “groomers”, such as Tim Pool.

After the assassination attempt against Nancy Pelosi, which left her husband hospitalized, dozens of senior Republicans – including Donald Trump – claimed that it was staged.

Rightists still glorify January 6. They mourn its failure. James Vance, Trump’s VP pick and insane theocrat, says he would have refused to respect democracy and illegally placed Trump in power.

Ignore their whining. They hate democracy. They laugh when we die. They’re full of shit.
