One of the most distressing things about the modern era is the ease with which leftists with college degrees can be manipulated into believing literally anything about Donald Trump.
In the future when historians study the confluence of propaganda and mass psychosis throughout world history, the ease with which these TDS goons embraced the most ridiculous of untruths will be case study #1.
Calling someone "far right" or "racist" is the same as calling them an outlaw. You are declaring that you don't believe they are worthy or deserving of the same moral protections as other people and deserve everything they get.
I have no words. I don't understand how to live in a world where someone would take a father away from his young children for having a different opinion.
I hope I'm wrong.
But tonight feels like some sort of invisible line has been crossed that we didn't even know was there. The last time I felt like this was 9/11 when it was clear, without knowing the how and the what, that the world was about to change forever.
Like the rules of the game had been permanently altered and there was simply no going to back to the innocent, peaceful past.
I didn't feel like this when an attempt was made on President Trump's life. If I had to rationalise why I didn't, I guess it's because several US Presidents have been shot at and even assassinated. Somehow it was within the realms of the possible, no matter how awful.
But to murder a young father simply for doing debates and mobilising young people to vote for a party that represents half of America? This is something else.
Charlie's death is a tragedy for his wife, his children and his family. I don't pray often. I am praying for them tonight.
But I fear his murder will be a tragedy for all of us in ways we will only understand as time unfolds.
I hope I'm wrong.
The irony is that Trump is not a cultural conservative, but has advanced the Right’s cultural agenda much further than the “principled conservatives” that came before him. They promised; Trump delivered. There’s a lesson in there.
