ComDems at the helm of hate speech - yet they act so lilly white Posted: Jul 14th, 2024 - 1:53 pm

President Biden 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.

Some of us have been objecting for years that this rage rhetoric is a dangerous political pitch for the nation. While most people reject the hyperbolic claims, others take it as true. They believe that homosexuals are going to be “disappeared” as claimed on ABC’s “The View” or that the Trump "death squads" are now green lighted by a conservative Supreme Court, as claimed by MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow.
Irrational rationale follows, often leading irrational people to do irrational things.
Is that what happened in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday, when Trump was shot and two innocent people were killed? Time and additional information to come will surely tell.

"Rage is addictive and contagious. It is also liberating," Turley argued, adding: "It allows people a sense of license to take actions that would ordinarily be viewed as repulsive."
Such was the case in 1981 when would-be-assassin John Hinckley Jr. nearly succeeded in taking the life of then-President Ronald Reagan, and it's apparently what happened at Trump's rally.
Rage Rhetoric on Steroids
Turley listed several examples of the left's absurd rage rhetoric against Trump.
As soon as Trump was elected, unhinged rage became the norm as with Kathy Griffin featuring herself holding the bloody severed head of Trump.
Just recently, another celebrity, actress Lea DeLaria, begged Biden to “blow [Trump] up” after the recent presidential immunity decision. DeLaria explained that “this is a f*****g war. This is a war now, and we are fighting for our f*****g country. And these a**holes are going to take it away. They’re going to take it away.”
For months, people have heard politicians and the press call Trump “Hitler” and the GOP a Nazi movement. Some compared stopping Trump to stopping Hitler in 1933. Rep. Dan Goldman (D-N.Y.) declared Trump “is not only unfit, he is destructive to our democracy and he has to be eliminated.” He later apologized.
Others say that Trump “will destroy the world” unless he is stopped.
Yet, ironically, the left continually warns of imminent violence from the right. Go figure.
