55% Of Leftists Say They Could ‘Somewhat Justify’ A Trump Assassination: Study

[PAF]

So yeah, I agree with you, drag him out the front steps of the White House, bonus for having a marshal shoot him on live TV.

And let's see what happens next.

I never said or condoned that

No, you didn't say anything about him being shot, I added that as a bonus.

But you did say:

Just send him to Gitmo or El Salvador and call it squared

And being dragged out in cuffs from the White House or Mar-a-Lago on live Tee-Vee is exactly how it would play out, were it to happen.

'Liberation or Obliteration?'

Apr 7, 2025

by Ron Paul
Apr 7, 2025

President Trump was elected in part because he promised to reduce prices and not drag the country into foreign wars. Sadly, President Trump has adopted a tariff policy that will raise prices and abandoned his “America First” foreign policy in favor of a return to Bush-era neoconservatism.

Despite criticizing President Biden for bombing Yemen, President Trump has authorized bombing that country under the false pretense that Yemen’s Houthis are threatening...

Leftys? Violent?

No way!

 

[TheTexan]

We've talked about this before; get out more, eat a few more wings, and talk to others around you. You'd be surprised by how people can come to at least some agreement, once you lay out a rational case.

Nope. I used to work with a Communist, he was an otherwise OK dude, but I asked him one time if he would have me shot if it helped advance his Communist agenda.

He didn't even blink when he said yes.

Oddly enough he was also an immigrant. Fancy that.

Right Wing: Down with Biden, he wants higher Tariffs!

Left Wing: Down with Trump, he wants higher Tariffs!

How about we send both of them to Gitmo or El Salvador and then we'll call it even?


Ron Paul: 3rd party? How about we go back to a 2-party system?

Biden didnt want Tariffs, Biden wanted higher INCOME TAXES and LOWER PAY.

Tariffs are for all practical purposes Taxes on Globalists, not the people.

 

[asurfaholic]

Admission that he's a lousy POTUS and only has value as a martyr?

=== Edited ===
I thought the guy was relatively benign until he started sending people to foreign prisons without due process; and unilaterally, without Senate advice or consent, started levying worldwide tariffs. Now, in my mind, he's Hitler in the late 20's and early 30's. I still don't get the whole "assassinate Hitler early" thing, but I understand the arguments surrounding the moral dilemma - I just don't think libertarianism supports them.

He was elected because he promised to get rid of the invaders. He’s following through on all his campaign promises that I can see.

How tariffs compare in the Biden and Trump eras - Marketplace

Trump and Biden used tariffs to support American jobs and industries. But Biden's levies on Chinese goods are higher and more targeted.

You can't share a country with these people. They need to either be deported to Hawaii and then the state excised from the Union, or we need to do what the Romans did and have different classes of citizens, so these clowns don't have suffrage.

I know you did not mention it, but its nor really Communists or Fascists that are the issue.

To your point, you cant share with these people. Biggest problem is theres really only two types of people in the world, those who want to be left alone, and those who wont leave you alone. Once you get some people that will not leave you alone, they end up favoring Communism and Fascism because those systems empower them to interfere even more in peoples lives.

The people who won't leave you alone end up winning. It's human nature. It's inevitable.

Post in thread 'RIP: Charlie Kirk Assassinated at Event in Utah'

Sep 11, 2025

https://x.com/charliekirk11/status/1909391943802703899

Assassination culture is spreading on the left. Forty-eight percent of liberals say it would be at least somewhat justified to murder Elon Musk. Fifty-five percent said the same about Donald Trump.

In California, activists are naming ballot measures after Luigi Mangione.

The left is being whipped into a violent frenzy. Any setback, whether losing an election or losing a court case, justifies a maximally violent response.

This is the natural outgrowth of left-wing protest culture tolerating violence and mayhem...

[jmdrake]

I used to think that.

COVID broke people. Or maybe it was the final straw.

My own mother, dead from complications from the very shot she heaped the foulest sort of abuse on me and my son both, for refusing to take, is just one example.

Or maybe I'm just sick and tired of it all and want this kicked off once and for all.

So yeah, I agree with you, drag him out the front steps of the White House, bonus for having a marshal shoot him on live TV.

And let's see what happens next.

If she had only listened to Kamala Harris instead of Donald Trump.



@PAF is right. They use the labels to control us while doing the same thing. Hitler was a national socialist fighting for control from the "right" against communists fighting for control from the "left."

Occupy Wall Street from the left and the Tea Party movement from the right both opposed to 2008 bank bailout and yet both party leaders pushed it through anyway. Here is a Sarah Palin supporter who can't believe Palin supported the bailout.



And as a reminder:





And consider this. On the cusp of the bipartisan release of the Epstein files, they almost have the votes, a loyal supporter of Trump who took the "Let's just trust Trump on Epstein" position got gunned down. Not Alex Jones. Not Nick Fuentes. Not Tucker Carlson or Candace Owens are Majorie Taylor Green. It could all be coincidence. But the timing in impeccable. Trump loyalist stock goes up right when the elites need it the most. Just saying.

Charlie Kirk is dead, shot down in public view. We may not yet know the name of the man or the group behind the rifle, but the reaction of certain circles to his death tells us more than any investigation ever could.

The laughter, the cheers, the ghoulish delight in murder reveal something darker than politics. They expose a spirit that exults in cruelty, that rejoices in the suffering of wives and children, that finds triumph not in creation but in destruction.

We have seen this spirit before. During the Spanish Civil War it unearthed the bodies of nuns, paraded their remains through the streets, and mocked the dead as though holiness itself could be desecrated even after burial. The same impulse that once set fire to churches and slaughtered priests now dances on the grave of a political opponent. It is not the spirit of debate or dissent, but of the vilest hatred, unleashed and unmasked.

We are no longer dealing with political adversaries. We are confronted with those who despise dialogue itself and who glorify violence as the only language they recognize. We are dealing with those who, in celebrating murder, renounce their own humanity. They align themselves with what is evil, with what is demonic. And when men give themselves over to that power, they cease to be neighbors or fellow citizens in any meaningful sense.

This is more than politics. It strikes at the foundations of morality and at the fate of civilization itself. A society that celebrates murder reveals what it has already become and what it is willing to endure. The line has not only been crossed, it has been erased. What remains is the choice of whether we allow the descent to continue, or whether we finally recognize it for what it is and respond accordingly.

If we choose silence, then the grave they celebrate today will be ours tomorrow.

She most likely did.

She was an ex-hippie from the 60s era.

She despised Trump.

Ah. So if Trump had one ane Kamala Paris it's stuck with being against the vaccine she might have not taken it and still be alive. Anyway truly sorry for your loss. A good friend of mine from college who was pressuring me to take the job on Facebook later died in her sleep from unknown causes. It said the last thing we said to each other was over vaccines.

This is the way

 

[Okie RP fan]

The left has become radicalized while screaming the entire time the right has been.
The country began a quick movement left with Obama and the right has been reacting ever since.
Now that the right is slowly growing a backbone, the left sees their chances of dominating everyone dwindling.

Remember remember the covid years…

 

[acptulsa]

The left has become radicalized while screaming the entire time the right has been.

Very true. And they'll use that to radicalize the right if they can, because they want blood in the streets (not in the boardrooms, the Capitol or the Knesset where it'd do the most good).
