DAVID MARCUS: Just like that, the Left has normalized assassination attempts
Second attempt on Trump's life draws a yawn from media, and that should scare us all

I was sitting in an empty horse-racing grandstand having a cigarette, about to order a steak at the Hollywood Casino in Washington, Pa., when I saw on my feed that a second assassination attempt on Donald Trump had been confirmed.

After saying a prayer to St. Michael the Archangel, I walked back into the Bistecca steakhouse, took back my seat at the bar and told the bartender and two guys there, "Another assassination attempt against Trump."

"Are you surprised?" one guy, a retired Teamster asked, a line that triggered a memory. "It almost seems normal now," the bartender added. Then I ordered a ribeye and a glass of Merlot and we went back to watching the Chiefs against the Bengals.

None of the networks cut away from the action for news coverage, my phone wasn’t blowing up with notifications, and my guess is that 90% of the people down on the floor of the casino, or in the sportsbook, had no idea anything had even happened.

We all know that if such an attempt had been made on Vice President Kamala Harris’ life, the games would not only have been cut away for the news, they’d likely have been suspended. But this is about more than media bias, it’s about social callousness.

If the attempt had been made on Harris or Waltz, there would be 24/7 wailing and gnashing of teeth, calling for a ban on guns like never heard. Why, it's be worse than even J6...

The dog that doesn't bark knows its owner.

The whole fascist playbook has been normalized.

But, fear not --- the conservative, that high information voter, the keeper of the freedom flame and protector of the American inheritance and Constitution is deeply engaged in an academic debate on the budget.

Zero gunned attempts on a POTUS (present and former)  in over 40 years, and now we have had 2 in less than 2 months.

No trend there......    /s
