Opinion: After the former US president escaped an assassination attempt at a campaign rally, it has revealed the real danger to America.
So, now we know who the real threat to democracy is - and it isn't Donald Trump.
Instead, it is the legion of Democrats, progressives, hard left activists, campus goons, and social media trolls who set the stage for the attempted assassination of the former, and likely future, president.
Even before we know who the shooter was or what his motivations were, the left has worked hard to demonise Donald Trump, make him and his supporters beyond the pale, and portray him as a unique and existential threat to American democracy.
Just a day before the attempted assassination - let's call it what it was - President Joe Biden tweeted "Americans want a president, not a dictator," pushing the idea that Donald Trump was a threat to democracy from the highest podium in the land.
He also told a group of donors, "It's time to put Trump in the bullseye".
Once-respectable publications from the Washington Post to The New Republic have called Trump "Hitler".[/i]
