Cole Thomas Allen, a 31-year-old teacher from California, sprinted into the Correspondents' Dinner last night with guns and knives. He shot one Secret Service agent before being subdued. President Trump, the First Lady, VP, Secretary of State, Secretary of War, and many others were quickly evacuated.
Yet again, a crackpot has sought to kill Donald Trump. Leftist pundits like Hassan Piker have floated the idea that it would be great if someone would assassinate Trump. In response to the assassination attempt last night, a Wisconsin brewery announced that it would distribute free beer the day after Trump's murder. Accusing Trump of being a fascist or a new iteration of Hitler is so common as to be unremarkable now. And what is one of the most common bits of time travel stories: kill Hitler to prevent the Holocaust. The assassin in such sci-fi is lauded. Ergo, if Trump is Hitler and it would have been commendable to kill Hitler before he could carry out his policies, then it follows that killing Trump is not only logical, but worthy of praise.
If one person out of a hundred thousand is dumb enough to swallow the fallacy that Trump is the next coming of Hitler, that would create more than 3,000 potential assassins in the US. People who disagreed with Charlie Kirk, who had no ability to implement any policies, called him a fascist. A crackpot came out of the woodwork and killed him. Leftists not only approved of his murder, they posted themselves celebrating online.
This is why Tim Pool thinks we may already be in a Civil War. We're certainly in a time that echoes the 1850s.
