These comments from the Republicans and MAGA extremists were reckless and absurd. For years, Trump has been pushing an ugly narrative: Joe Biden and the Democrats are in league with antifa, Black radicals, and communists to destroy the nation. Trump has said this zillions of times. In both the 2020 and 2024 campaigns, he has exclaimed that if Biden is elected "we may not have a country anymore." He has repeatedly preached an apocalyptic sermon casting his political rivals as bent on annihilating the United States. He has depicted Biden and his allies as an existential threat to America.
And, of course, Trump has repeatedly encouraged violence"most infamously on January 6. But with this shooting his MAGA allies quickly spotted an opportunity for a rubber-glue propaganda campaign to characterize the Dems as the true threat to democracy and civility and concoct a massive deflection. One of Biden's chief lines of attack on Trump is that he presents a danger to the republic. Now the Trump crew had a chance to turn the tables and they eagerly grabbed it. Ultimately, the MAGA crowd doesn't have to win the argument that Biden endangers democracy. They merely need to use it to muddy the waters and undercut the Democrats' main case against Trump.

Yeppers. His violent rhetoric came back to bite him. Sadly he will double down and call for more violence ahead. Karma is a bitty no??
You see....teachers certainly grasp the reality of forming children's values when they are young.
Parents sort of didn't really figure out how bad it was until covid.
The public school system's education process was going so badly they enlisted parents help on Zoom.
Parents then really saw exactly what their children are being told to believe.
Conservative parents who have been acquiescent for decades really are beginning to push back in greater numbers.
Liberals just aren't used to that.
