Let's get this straight here and now: The latest Trump assassin wasnât a radical or an insane person. He was a Democrat.
This is the same party that sees Luigi Mangione as a hero for killing a healthcare CEO.
"There was nothing radical about Cole Tomas Allen: the attempted White House Correspondentsâ Dinner assassin. Allenâs manifesto reads a lot like that of the previous three-named assassin Ryan Wesley Routh who was stalking President Trump at a golf game.
Apart from the explicit murder plots, there is nothing in Routhâs âDear Worldâ letter and Allenâs manifesto that you wouldnât find in the Washington Post, a Jimmy Kimmel or Stephen Colbert monologue or a rant by a Democrat member of Congress. Routh was obsessed with Iran and Ukraine, sounding like Thomas Friedman when he complained that Trump had âended relations with Iran like a child and now the Middle East has unraveled.â
Allen offered even more generic foreign policy criticisms that seemed plucked from network newscasts and fake news coverage of Trumpâs campaign against illegal alien criminals, drug cartels, Islamic terrorists in Iran and the cutoff of funds to USAID, ranting about being (âraped in a detention campâ, âfisherman executed without trialâ âschoolkid blown upâ or âa child starvedâ).
Did Allen really care about events in Iran or Latin America? Could he even tell them apart?
Thereâs a vagueness to the litany that suggests Allen had a weak grip on where these supposed things were even happening and what the connection to it was beyond justifying his attack.
Rather than Marxism, Routh and Allen offered tepid shopworn liberalism as their justification for murder, âU.S presidents must at bare minimum embody the moral fabric that is America and be kind, caring and selfless and always stand for humanityâ and âthe United States of America are ruled by the law, not by any one or several people. In so far as representatives and judges do not follow the law, no one is required to yield them anything so unlawfully ordered.â
This is the stuff of a Ken Burns op-ed and it shows that both men were more influenced by liberal Trump Derangement Syndrome media products than by Antifa or radical groups.
Allen slurs President Trump as a âpedophile, rapist and traitorâ. This line is so commonplace in liberal circles that you can find it all across Bluesky, where the attempted assassin had an account, sold on t-shirts and popping up in op-eds. Social media personalities, talk show hosts and members of Congress have used similar rhetoric to refer to the 47th president.
Thereâs not much of a political critique. Just a grab bag of lines from MSNBC.
The truly revealing moment comes at the end of Routhâs manifesto. âI experience rage thinking about everything this administration has done.â That is a common enough symptom from liberals who doomscroll daily through social media rants about Trump until they get more blackpilled. Trump Derangement Syndrome isnât a punch line. Much like any social media obsession, it is a social contagion that genuinely makes people dangerous and deranged.
But even while people are talking about Cole Tomas Allen becoming âradicalizedâ, thereâs no evidence that he was ideologically radicalized. And itâs important for us to understand this.
Unlike Thomas Crooks, the Butler assassin, Allen wasnât quoting Mao about power coming from the barrel of a gun. Unlike Austin Tucker Martin, who was shot and killed while breaking into Mar-a-Lago while armed with a shotgun back in March (notably there are so many attempts to kill Trump that they quickly vanish from the media coverage) he didnât go down a social media conspiracy rabbit hole (Martin was obsessed with conspiracies tying Trump to Epstein.)
Allen and Routhâs views were generally those of mainstream liberal Democrats. They were no more extreme than your average MSNBC viewer. Probably even a smidgen more moderate.
And they were probably no more radical than the average committed Democrat.
The only difference between the two assassins and the rest of their political movement was that they didnât just buy t-shirts calling for Trumpâs murder (Amazon has a Google search result âTrump Dead Shirtâ to cash in on this trend) or put up âIs He Dead Yetâ signs on their lawns or confine themselves to fulminating on social media⌠they did something about it.
That doesnât make them more radical than the average Democrat. Just more serious.
There are two distinct but related things going on with the Democrats. One is that the party is rapidly moving ideologically leftward and embracing previously inconceivable positions ranging from socialism to treason and the other is that much of the party is not ideologically radicalizing so much as itâs driven by a violently fervent hatred of Trump and a conviction that heâs Hitler.
This is not some grassroots phenomenon but the messaging from the top down of the party and its media apparatus. Thatâs why Allenâs views are entirely reflective of their rhetoric. He wasnât a Marxist, a Communist or a Socialist⌠his views were those of the mainstream of his party. (The amount of distance between the Democrats and the Marxists of course is rapidly shrinking.)
But Allen didnât try to kill Trump and members of his administration officials in the name of socialized medicine, a command economy, the working class or any affirmative leftist cause.
He did it because he had been brainwashed into believing he was stopping Hitler 2.0.
And Allen certainly wasnât alone. The No Kings rallies and the ActBlue contribution tolls (Allen predictably donated to Kamala through ActBlue) are filled with millions like him. They donât really believe in anything except stopping Trump, Republicans, and conservatives at any cost.
Most donât take a gun in their hands. Instead they donate to and vote for genuine leftist radicals whose agenda only starts at stopping Trump and then goes to actual Communist action points.
The Democrats have become a party of assassins, willing to shoot President Trump, members of the Secret Service and anyone else, and most of all, to shoot America in the head, because they have been brainwashed into believing the rhetoric of their party and their media.
When you believe that the president is Hitler 2.0, then shooting him becomes reasonable.
The fault certainly lies with men like Allen and Routh who let themselves be brainwashed, but it also lies with a party whose officials and media have spent a decade pouring that poisonous rhetoric into the ears of the nation for their own political gain all the while knowing it was a lie.
Now after several assassinations, the killing of Charlie Kirk and numberless incidents of street violence, and murderous attacks on ICE and other federal law enforcement, they have not repented. They formally condemn violence and day after day they make the case to men like Routh and Allen why Trump should be removed from office by any and every means possible.
Their only possible defense is that they donât expect their followers to take them seriously.
But the record number of assassinations shows that they have created a party of assassins. Those who have created a party of assassins bear the ultimate responsibility for the violence.
A Party of Assassins cannot offer America anything except murder, treason and death."
