Appreciate Glenn Reib pointing out the reality of the time we are living in:
Dear Sane America,
No one died. And that’s exactly why so many on the left are quietly seething right now. If that animal had succeeded, if Trump’s head had exploded in a spray of blood, if Vance had been cut down, if bodies had piled up in that room...the reaction from huge chunks of the American left wouldn’t have been horror or grief. It would have been raw, ugly joy.
We’ve seen their true faces before. After Butler, Pennsylvania, where a bullet grazed Trump’s ear and a father was murdered in front of his family, too many couldn’t hide their disappointment. Some cheered openly online. Others smirked behind careful wording: “karma,” “he had it coming,” “stochastic terrorism finally worked.” They had spent years calling Trump Hitler, his supporters Nazis, turning “punch a Nazi” into casual conversation. They flooded every channel with eliminationist poison: “resistance by any means necessary,” Trump as an existential threat who “must be stopped at all costs.” When the bullets flew, their masks slipped. They weren’t mourning political violence in America, they were furious the “fascist” survived. These are the same people who would have been dancing in the streets, posting memes with champagne emojis, or quietly liking tweets celebrating “the end of MAGA” if only the Secret Service had been a split-second slower. Blue-check journalists, Hollywood celebrities, tenured professors, activist nonprofits, and half the corporate media class, they would have felt a sick thrill in their chests. Not public jubilation, maybe, but that private, shameful rush of “finally.” Some would have gone full ghoul and said the quiet part loud. The rest would have performed concern while secretly relieved that the man they’ve demonized for a decade was gone.
And now? Because no one died, the script flips instantly to “It was staged.” A hoax. Trump orchestrated it. False flag for getting the ballroom. These are the exact same voices who spent years screaming that right-wing rhetoric causes violence. But when a leftist-adjacent lunatic tries to slaughter conservatives at a DC media dinner and fails? Suddenly it’s all theater. These people are fucking vile. They don’t want debate. They don’t want elections. They want elimination. They’ve normalized the idea that Trump and his voters are irredeemable threats to democracy itself. So when someone tries to remove that “threat” with bullets, a large part of their ecosystem secretly roots for success. When it fails, they don’t condemn the violence...they deny it happened, minimize it, or accuse the victims of faking it.
This is the sickness: a political tribe so consumed by hatred that the near-assassination of a sitting president and his team elicits disappointment rather than outrage. They don’t grieve for the Republic. They grieve for the missed shot. Sane America, look at them clearly. The academics who’d toast “one less fascist.” The journalists who’d leak celebratory texts. The celebrities who’d post cryptic “the resistance wins” nonsense. The everyday leftists refreshing news feeds hoping for confirmation of death, then raging when it didn’t come. They’ve abandoned basic human decency. Political violence isn’t a horror to them, it’s a feature, as long as it’s aimed at the right targets. The left doesn’t own every lunatic, but they own this toxic culture of dehumanization. You don’t call half the country Nazis for ten straight years, stoke unstable minds with apocalyptic “threat to democracy” hysteria, and then act shocked when someone picks up a gun. Or worse, act disappointed when he misses.
Enough. Condemn this attack without excuses. Reject the ghoulish double standard. Drop the “staged” conspiracy cope. Demand your own side face the bloodlust they’ve incubated instead of celebrating it in private. The rest of us are watching with pure revulsion. This isn’t left versus right anymore.
