No longer fringe, the beliefs of the left now require purifying violence against the total threat of “MAGA Americans,” whom they dismiss as enemies against whom all manner of violence is permitted.
They say history repeats itself—first as tragedy, and the second time as farce. This aphorism certainly seems true of the two assassination attempts against former President Trump. The young Thomas Crooks’ shooting at a Pennsylvania rally in July nearly succeeded. He actually wounded Trump, and unfortunately killed a local fireman.
By contrast, Ryan Routh’s attempted attack at Trump’s Mar a Lago golf course was shambolic. His pawn shop SKS looked incapable of hitting the broadside of a barn, and his sniper’s nest did everything possible to make itself visible. Like Routh himself, it was all quite ridiculous.
