Media hostility can generate deranged hostility . . . and corresponding actions. From Robert Bridge at swentr.site:

Americans from across the political spectrum were treated to yet more evidence that Donald Trump is an invincible force that cannot be easily reckoned with. But this perception will do little to mitigate the media hostility that poisons the US political scene.
Everyone knew it was just a matter of time. Trump, who was addressing a crowd of supporters in Butler, Pennsylvania, was grazed by an assassin’s bullet during a campaign speech (how the would-be killer managed to get so close to the Republican frontrunner amid an army of Secret Service agents is a question for another day). What must concern Americans now is what exactly triggered this latest display of political violence.
Several commentators pointed to reckless remarks Joe Biden made on a call with donors earlier this month, when the incumbent leader reportedly said: “I have one job, and that’s to beat Donald Trump… So, we’re done talking about the debate, it’s time to put Trump in a bullseye.”
JD Vance, the senator from Ohio and a top contender to be Trump’s running mate, said in a statement on X (formerly Twitter): “The central premise of the Biden campaign is that President Donald Trump is an authoritarian fascist who must be stopped at all costs. That rhetoric led directly to President Trump’s attempted assassination.”

Someone else might take it to heart or hear esteemed CPUSA (D) party members Jo Jo Brandon or San Fran Nan (via Baltimore) call DJT a threat to our precious bureaucracy, that is their democracy.
Everyone I don’t like is Hitler will have a shelf life for comrade lefty?

I have a Hitler poster picked up at a state fairgrounds gun show (gasp!) where he says…when I come back no more Mr. Nice Guy.
Saw an interesting take about another culprit…Kiev.
WWIII by any means necessary, before November.
No (s) election is the plan.
