Trump\u2019s failed assassination attempt shows just how much of a virus wokeism is, and why it needs to be stopped. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In 49 BC, Julius Caesar made a decision which altered the course of Rome for centuries to come. He crossed the River Rubicon with the 13th Legion, an act forbidden to all military commanders without special permission from the Senate. There was no turning back. <\/p>\n

America is facing its own Rubicon. The failed assassination attempt on former President Trump not only highlights the depravity of those radicalized by wokeness, critical theory, and social justice politics in recent years, but also the media institutions which perpetuate racist dog whistles in cheap attempts to remove Trump and those right-of-center from the political arena. <\/p>\n

As former Special Assistant Scott Jennings poignantly stated<\/a> during the July 13, 2024 CNN \u201cBreaking News\u201d segment: \u201cWhat other wakeup call could there be for everybody in this country right now?\u201d <\/p>\n

Unfortunately, this was a wakeup call that came too late. Hatred has been fomenting for years, and no one seems to care—especially those in the media. <\/p>\n

The Fire is Kindled <\/strong><\/p>\n

Ever since Trump announced on that elevator that he would run for President, there has never been a moment of respite from the Left at accusing anyone right of Che Guevara of being a Nazi, white supremacist, colonizer, etc. Take your pick; the radical Left has used every pejorative in the book, and they will never stop. <\/p>\n

Throughout college campuses, social media platforms, and overpriced coffee shops, we\u2019ve heard these social justice warriors cry out<\/a> \u201cspeech is violence!\u201d They would physically repulse at an opinion that runs slightly contrary to theirs, and would react emotionally, erratically, and sometimes even violently<\/a> to the sheer horror of the diversity of thought. <\/p>\n

They took that mantra to the logical extreme on Saturday, July 13, 2024<\/a>, and now there\u2019s no crossing back over the Rubicon. <\/p>\n

The Road to Hell is Paved With…<\/strong><\/p>\n

The perpetual woke have a concerning track record with political violence. While they exclaim<\/a> that a second Trump administration would put minorities in concentration camps and start world wars, it seems that it\u2019s always self-professed leftists and democrats who carry out violent acts against their political rivals.<\/p>\n

Lest we forget the \u201cSummer of Love\u201d of 2020 when countless riots broke out causing over $1 billion<\/a> in property damage, Antifa terrorists roamed the streets and systematically assaulted<\/a> innocent civilians, or the seemingly never-ending attacks<\/a> on our law enforcement as our cities were left to decay. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the legacy media machine has never faltered in gaslighting<\/a> the public on the true damage this social unrest has caused us. To add fuel to the fire, they\u2019ve been constantly perpetuating the egregious notion that Trump is Hitler incarnate—the second coming of the Dark Lord to destroy all progress and DEI initiatives. In order for Democracy to succeed, the Left is, \u201cstill gonna have to put a bullet<\/a> in Donald Trump.\u201d Voter beware!<\/p>\n

This exaggeration of current American politics has certainly taken its toll. What was initially an attempt by the establishment media to scare people into voting for Hillary Clinton back in 2016, has now seemingly become a profitable business model. <\/p>\n

The Guardian<\/a>, The Washington Post<\/a>, ABC News<\/a>, The Philadelphia Inquirer<\/a>, and more recently The New Republic<\/a>, are just a handful of a large array of media outlets which seem to enjoy fantasizing about a Trump-f\u00fchrer doomsday scenario. Why would they change their tune? The fear-mongering certainly brings in an audience. <\/p>\n

This isn’t just conjecture; it\u2019s had an actual effect. Around one third<\/a> of registered democrats believe the Trump assassination was staged. What was that line again about spreading misinformation<\/a>? <\/p>\n

Gaslighting in an Era of Woke Grandstanding <\/strong><\/p>\n

Unfortunately for the country, this derangement has seeped its way into popular culture, and into the empty minds of the influencer elite<\/a>. We shouldn’t forget when it was fashionable for certain B-list celebrities to hold bloodied severed prop heads<\/a> with an uncanny resemblance to the 45th president, nor should we let slip how public figures would express their desires<\/a> to assassinate Trump, to blow up the White House, or to eagerly profess how Trump is more dangerous and duplicitous than even Hitler<\/a> or Mussolini.<\/p>\n

Instead of \u201cprotecting our democracy,\u201d as so many on the political Left enjoy reminding us these days, we received an executive octogenarian who fearmongers<\/a> and works to silence all opposition he deems \u201cfascistic.\u201d <\/p>\n

What has all this violent rhetoric from the Left gotten us? A safer society? A more robust democracy? A more diverse, equitable, and inclusive country? <\/p>\n

It\u2019s time to wake up. <\/p>\n

\u201cPick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since Trump\u2019s election in 2016, there has been a concerning rise in left-wing violence<\/a> in America. From BLM riots, to Antifa assaults, to firebombing family planning centers and churches, and full-on firefights with law enforcement, we\u2019ve seen Leftist fanatics tirelessly work to intimidate<\/a> and harm those who do not share their world view. <\/p>\n

In 2017, Republican Representative Steve Scalise was shot<\/a> at a Congressional baseball game by a radicalized Bernie Sanders campaign volunteer. <\/p>\n

In 2022, NY Republican gubernatorial candidate Lee Zeldin was nearly stabbed to death by an assailant during a campaign event. The attacker was almost immediately released<\/a> without bail, as permitted under New York\u2019s \u201ctolerant\u201d criminal laws. <\/p>\n

And now in July of 2024, the Republican candidate for president was almost murdered<\/a> by a 20-year-old recluse who donated<\/a> to the leftist organization Act Blue in 2021. One innocent attendee was confirmed dead. <\/p>\n

While this attempted murder has brought people together in support of those affected, including the Trump family, others on social media have been less than respectful—angry even—for the fact that Trump did not die<\/a> that day. <\/p>\n

And how can we forget Legacy Media at a time like this? Less than a day after the events transpired, ABC News was quick to point the finger<\/a> back at Trump and his supporters for contributing to this \u201cviolent rhetoric.\u201d Are we forgetting January 6th<\/a>? ABC certainly can\u2019t. <\/p>\n

It seems the Democrats are back at accusing<\/a> Republicans and the former president of being very real threats to our democracy. Old habits die hard, and the newly endorsed<\/a>, presumptive democratic presidential nominee, Kamala Harris sees no issue with repeating the easily debunked<\/a> lie that Trump wants to take away women\u2019s rights by enacting a national abortion ban<\/a>. So much for unity and \u201crestoring civility<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

A Woke Nightmare That Needs To End<\/strong><\/p>\n

The main form of conversation<\/a> for Leftists and Progressives these days seems to revolve around screaming, crying, and lobbing threats at those who do not adhere to the Church of Woke. Anyone who does not fall in line with the social justice platform of pseudoscientific social hierarchies, inherent racism, and illogical gender pronouns are themselves victimized by these perpetual victims. <\/p>\n

Unfortunately for some—including President Trump—that may look like a bullseye<\/a> over their heads. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s time to reveal wokeism for what it truly is. At worst, it is political terrorism, and at best, it is the illiberal path to certain dictatorship. We shouldn’t have to live in an America where we wonder whether our preferred candidate will still be alive when we wake up in the morning. Last time I checked, assassination attempts are a direct threat to our democracy, no?<\/p>\n

Violence has no place in civil society. Wokeism, as the inherently divisive, prejudiced, and racist ideology it is, is a sickness slowly decaying American society. It is incompatible with our way of life, a free society, and a safe<\/em> country. <\/p>\n

Let\u2019s not allow this sort of behavior to become even more commonplace. Call out the woke on their hypocrisy. Shine a light on their hate—wherever that may be. Whether you\u2019re at work, in class, or out with your friends, any perpetuation of the cancers known as social justice, critical theory, and neo-Marxist jargon best left in Soviet history books, should be called out for the fakery they truly are. Besides, sunlight has always been the best disinfectant. <\/p>\n

We have crossed the Rubicon. Onwards.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
