On Saturday night, after the assassination attempt on President Trump, Jonathan Turley posted an article at The Hill<\/a> that sums up what a lot of Americans are thinking.<\/p>\n

The article notes:<\/p>\n

The assassination attempt<\/a> of former President Donald Trump left a nation stunned. But the most shocking aspect\u00a0was that it was not nearly as surprising as it should have been. For months, politicians, the press and pundits have escalated reckless rhetoric in this campaign on both sides. That includes claims that Trump was set to kill democracy, unleash \u201cdeath squads\u201d and make homosexuals and reporters \u201cdisappear.\u201d<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

President Biden <\/a><\/span>has stoked this rage rhetoric. In 2022, Biden held his controversial speech before Independence Hall where he denounced Trump supporters as enemies of the people. Biden recently referenced the speech and has embraced the claims that this could be our last democratic election.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…Some of us have been saying for years that this rage rhetoric is a dangerous political pitch for the nation. While most people reject the hyperbolic claims, others take them as true. They believe that homosexuals are going to be \u201cdisappeared\u201d as claimed on ABC\u2019s \u201cThe View<\/a>\u201d\u00a0or that the Trump\u00a0\u201cdeath squads\u201d<\/a>\u00a0are now green lighted by a conservative Supreme Court, as claimed by MSNBC\u2019s Rachel Maddow.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rage is addictive and contagious.\u00a0It is also liberating. It allows people a sense of license to take actions that would ordinarily be viewed as repulsive.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

As soon as Trump was elected, unhinged rage became the norm as with\u00a0Kathy Griffin featuring herself holding the bloody severed head of Trump<\/a>.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Just recently, another celebrity, actress Lea DeLaria, begged Biden<\/a> to \u201cblow [Trump] up\u201d after the recent presidential immunity decision. DeLaria explained that \u201cthis is a **** war. This is a war now, and we are fighting for our **** country. And these a**holes are going to take it away. They\u2019re going to take it away.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

For months, people have heard\u00a0politicians and press call Trump \u201cHitler\u201d<\/a>\u00a0and the\u00a0GOP a Nazi movement<\/a>. Some compared\u00a0stopping Trump to stopping Hitler<\/a>\u00a0in 1933. Rep. Dan Goldman (D-N.Y.) declared Trump \u201cis not only unfit, he is destructive to our democracy and he has to be eliminated.\u201d He later apologized.<\/strong><\/p>\n
