Who’s To Blame For The Left’s ‘Assassination Culture’? - I & I Editorial Board

A university report published last month shows that more than half of those who identify as being left of center on the political spectrum believe assassinating President Donald Trump would be justified.  - I & I Editorial Board

This didn’t come about organically. 

It’s the product of a vicious campaign waged by the Democratic Party-mainstream media axis.

• According to a Rutgers Social Perception Lab-Network Contagion Research Institute brief, 55.2% of Americans on the left “reported that if someone murdered Donald Trump, they would be at least somewhat justified.” Overall, 38.5% hold the same belief.
• Trump, who has survived a pair of assassination attempts (one of which was celebrated), is not the only legitimate target, say many Americans. The data show that nearly half, 48.6%, say murdering Elon Musk would be justified.

The report’s authors say, “support for political violence – including property destruction and
assassination – is not expressed in isolation, but as part of a tightly interconnected belief system.”...
It’s an effort to dehumanize him, which is a tacit approval for violent behavior. 

To this end, various playactors, politicians, and grifters have:

• Wanted to punch Trump in the face (Robert DeNiro)
• Wished they could “take him behind the gym and beat the hell out of him” (Joe Biden)
• Wondered when “was the last time an actor assassinated a president” (Johnny Depp)...

Say all of this and more for long enough, and tens of millions will declare their allegiance to the “assassination culture” identified in the Rutgers report.
