55% Of Self-Identified Leftists Say Killing Trump Is Justifiable
M.D. Kittle


The unhinged left, fueled by Trump Derangement Syndrome and seething hatred for Elon Musk, is trending more violent, according to a new study that finds political violence targeting President Donald Trump and his billionaire adviser is “becoming increasingly normalized.”

The report, produced by the Network of Contagion Research Institute (NCRI) in partnership with Rutgers University’s Social Perception Lab, finds a broader “assassination culture” appears to be “emerging within segments of the U.S. public on the extreme left, with expanding targets now including figures such as Donald Trump.”

Less than a year after assassination attempts on then-presidential candidate Trump and the literally explosive violence against Musk’s Tesla electric vehicles, it’s no secret that leftists are ratcheting up violent rhetoric and actions. The more troubling trend is that an “assassination culture” isn’t just coming from the “fringe” left.

“These attitudes are not fringe — they reflect an emergent assassination culture, grounded in far-left authoritarianism and increasingly normalized in digital discourse,” states the report, titled, “Assassination Culture: How Burning Teslas and Killing Billionaires Became a Meme Aesthetic for Political Violence.”

Really not surprising considering many of the far left consider the UHC CEO killer a national hero.

This is what we are up against.

A consequence of this behavior is the leftists have now pushed the Overton Window as to what is acceptable political behavior. Inevitably this means that as they instigate violence they will receive a violent response. Which for their puppet masters is a desired effect because then their 'movement' will have martyrs.

I have forever speculated that Antifa is the formal army of the left.  And they are joined at the hip a lot closer, and organized than anyone realizes

Absolutely they are. Their activities back in 2020 were clearly being coordinated nationwide and in some cases worldwide. They really need to be designated the terrorist organization that they are.
