âWhen Trump and the convention participants say they are seeking unity, what they really mean is that they want Democrats to stop using words like âfascist,â âauthoritarian,â and âcriminalâ to describe the MAGA-GOPâs fascist, authoritarian, criminal leader.

You will not see Trump step to the podium and say, âBecause there is never any excuse for political violence in America, I renounce my own role in contributing to the toxicity of American politics.â We know that because Trump never apologizes for anything. We know it because his first words following the shooting, âfight, fight, fight!â were a manifestation of that. And we know because we know Trump to be the number one instigator of political violence in this country, the number one contributor to the toxicity of the current environment.
Trump is the one who instigated and later celebrated the single largest act of political violence in modern American historyâthe assault on the Capitol on January 6, 2021. He is the one who implied the proper response of his supporters to the Biden Administration would be âbedlam.â
He is the one who defended the marchers in Charlottesville even though they had blood on their hands. He is the one who has regularly promoted violence against political enemies from rally podiums very much like the one he hid behind this past weekend. He is the one who proposed using the government of the United States to intimidate and brutalize peaceful protestors and his opponents. He is the man who has made retribution the stated first mission of the next Trump administration should there be one.
Trump in fact bears a major share of the responsibility for creating many of the conditions that in turn led to a shooting in which he himself was the target. And we should be very clear that in blaming the left for what happened on Saturday, his supporters, those closest to him, are already making it likely that further violence will occur.â

Yet given these facts and more, Trump will be the GOP 2024 presidential nominee.

âUnityâ Doesnât Mean Covering Up the Truth About Donald Trump
It doesnât violate President Bidenâs admonition that we take the temperature down in U.S. politics to describe a fascist as a fascist, or a coup instigator as a coup instigator.
Yet given these facts and more, Trump will be the GOP 2024 presidential nominee.
