Order Daniel Greenfield’s new book, Domestic Enemies: The Founding Fathers’ Fight Against the Left: HERE.
There was nothing radical about Cole Tomas Allen: the attempted White House Correspondents’ Dinner assassin. Allen’s 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 Routh’s ‘Dear World’ letter and Allen’s manifesto that you wouldn’t 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 “ended relations with Iran like a child and now the Middle East has unraveled.”
Allen offered even more generic foreign policy criticisms that seemed plucked from network newscasts and fake news coverage of Trump’s campaign against illegal alien criminals, drug cartels, Islamic terrorists in Iran and the cutoff of funds to USAID, ranting about being (“raped in a detention camp”, “fisherman executed without trial” “schoolkid blown up” or “a child starved”).
Did Allen really care about events in Iran or Latin America? Could he even tell them apart?
There’s 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, “U.S presidents must at bare minimum embody the moral fabric that is America and be kind, caring and selfless and always stand for humanity” and “the 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.”
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 “pedophile, rapist and traitor”. 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.
There’s not much of a political critique. Just a grab bag of lines from MSNBC.
The truly revealing moment comes at the end of Routh’s manifesto. “I experience rage thinking about everything this administration has done.” 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 isn’t 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 ‘radicalized’, there’s no evidence that he was ideologically radicalized. And it’s important for us to understand this.
Unlike Thomas Crooks, the Butler assassin, Allen wasn’t 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 didn’t go down a social media conspiracy rabbit hole (Martin was obsessed with conspiracies tying Trump to Epstein.)
Allen and Routh’s 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 didn’t just buy t-shirts calling for Trump’s murder (Amazon has a Google search result ‘Trump Dead Shirt’ to cash in on this trend) or put up ‘Is He Dead Yet’ signs on their lawns or confine themselves to fulminating on social media… they did something about it.
That doesn’t 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 it’s driven by a violently fervent hatred of Trump and a conviction that he’s Hitler.
This is not some grassroots phenomenon but the messaging from the top down of the party and its media apparatus. That’s why Allen’s views are entirely reflective of their rhetoric. He wasn’t 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 didn’t 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 wasn’t alone. The No Kings rallies and the ActBlue contribution tolls (Allen predictably donated to Kamala through ActBlue) are filled with millions like him. They don’t really believe in anything except stopping Trump, Republicans, and conservatives at any cost.
Most don’t 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 don’t 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.
Has Jimmy Kimmel declared the prick a TPUSA member yet?
See, I think they do intend their more mentally fragile followers to take them seriously. They can’t possibly believe that their relentless, hysterical, inflammatory diatribes will not profoundly effect at least some of their followers. Otherwise, why do it?
and it gets them $ donations.
Some people remain delusional to the end of their lives. Their worldview/belief system is like an impenetrable wall, despite all facts and efforts to persuade them.
Sorry, no, I disagree. You haven’t made a connection between an assault on a guarded position followed by murdering the president except to blame social media. This isn’t enough to prompt such extreme actions.
Theres something else at work; something deeper. The Dems—or any adept marketing agency. — simply tapped a need, a deep feeling and he snapped.
Nase shoov, gever.
Some of us here know Hebrew. Are you addressing Daniel or Cole Allen?
I know every single person that reads this has been either at a work function, family gathering, or dinner party when some democrat in attendance will start spouting off the most insane, hate-filled rhetoric towards republican and conservatives and other democrats in attendance will join in. When you try to engage in reasonable debate they fly into a rage. Their entire countenance changes as if possessed by demons. In my entire lifetime I’ve known only one democrat that I can have a normal conversation with about politics. Leftist ideology demands hatred and violence, kind of like the religion of peace.
It certainly appeared that way when a delicate 110 lb lady, Savanah Hernandez of TPUSA, was violently ganged up on by a mob in Minneapolis.
These unprovoked attacks are common place where leftists gather.
Jan 6th was also unprovoked. DC cops simply began firing – immediately killing Kevin Greeson.
Nancy’s goons kept firing for half an hour until Ray Epps FINALLY talked a teenager to breech the barricade.
(Then the left had their “Reichstag Fire” photo op.)
You are SPOT ON and, sadly, yes, we have all been there.
Sickening, and you can’t get through to them with reason and facts, as we’ve all seen. It’s a kind of soul sickness..
I have finally just cut them off. I hate to do it with family members, but we all know that the acreage of safe conversation has shrunk to the strictly personal stuff and the weather.
I sent a leftwing friend (the last one, actually) a text saying I wished her well, but I didn’t want to continue the contact, after she went off on me, emailing that she couldn’t believe I was supporting a Not-See and rapist, etc., etc. Then I blocked her number.
Not one of these goobers had Anything to say about Bill Clinton being a serial rapist, about Bill and Hill very probably being murderers; not one said a word about the Ayatollah’s goons shooting (at least) 42,000 unarmed protesters in the streets in Iran; nor about their brutal habit of gang-raping women. And so on….
With such mental cases, there’s literally no way to reach them. They’re like the Jonestown cult members. They have to be deprogrammed en masse, but I’m darned if I see how that can happen.
The lawless in spirit encourage others to be lawless in practice. Some have even called this attack “staged “. If it’s staged, Democrats are the script writers needing only their rehearsed method actors to pull it off.
Well, since the Left was OK with killing tens of millions of unborn babies, and is apparently OK with killing the elderly and disabled, it’s not much of a stretch for the Left to be OK with killing anyone else who stands in their way—ask the Russians, Chinese, Koreans, Cubans, Vietnamese, and Venezuelans.
thats why the democrats have such an affinity with barbarians , ie. muslims . if you dont align with their fictional diatribe you will be murdered . move along , nothing to see here .
Both groups hate the true God of the Bible.
Islam: their god tells them it’s praiseworthy to violate the Ten Commandments — as long as you do it to “infidels.”
Now who, in the Bible, would be urging them to act that way?
Leftists, as Whittaker Chambers noted, want to BE gods (see Yuval Harari’s declaration: “We are the gods now!”).
So much of Human’kind’ is not kind to itself.
So many Human ‘beings’ don’t consider why they are ‘being’, why they exist.
So much of the human ‘race’ ‘races’ insanely towards chaos.
So much of Humanity (human unity) pulls away from itself to self destruct.
‘Human’ is a misnomer for us.
The loudest voices pontificate that humans are no longer defined as men and women.
That there are no more sacred bonds. Having no boundaries is the new holiness.
Meaning means having no meaning.
Maybe that’s the definition of evil: when being ‘human’ is devoid of all meaning.
We have been, or have allowed ourselves to be, reduced to expendable nonentities.
Let’s [try to] become human [yet] again [after so many short lived or failed attempts throughout our thousands of years of history].
Correct observation, Mr. Greenfield. The Democrat Party has devolved into a bloodthirsty party of assassins. In my observation, it has been waging an asymmetric war on its enemy for at least the last 50 years. At first it used the language of moral pretension to cow subservience and money from its adversary, the Republican Party. It worked as planned.
Now it is finally going for the jugular. We are rather like proverbial frogs in the pot of slowly boiling water, who suddenly realize it’s coming to the boil, and wonder, “How did it get like this?” At least now we have clarity about the plan all along.
The question is, how does one counter these forces which have been unleashed?
Yes… the Ballroom… the Ballroom… the Ballroom… this wouldn’t have had happened if they had the Ballroom…
Ugh…
Let’s see… the President, the VP… Secretary of State… DHS Secretary…and literally every head of our government was there… all in one room…
And all anyone is saying… this place was bad for security…
Oh really… then why have every important person of our government there?
Have you seen the video of the pat-downs? <<< Garbage…
Why wasn't every door covered by the Secret Service? The building was just so incredibly "un-secure"…
Seems like a poor choice right out the gate…with every American Leader in that building…
Did you see the video of a so called guest of the hotel… run past over a dozen Secret Service?
So many said the Security was terrible… simply show a ticket and get in… no metal detectors… "a really horrible setup"…
Did you see the video of Trump just standing behind the curtain? "A President that already had assassination attempts on his life"…
Even a Senator said… "The security was downright awful."
Did you see the picture of everyone just minutes after this standing in the Press Conference room… with everyone smiling? Everyone calm, cool and collected…
It looks like the only one NOT calm, cool and collected is you. In fact, of late, you seem like a future assassination suspect with your out of control anger issues.. But fortunately for America lovers and Trump, no one will hire you…..for anything. Go read a bible or something, Senor Very Elect.
The fire marshal must be a Democrat.
Wiley Coyote on the loose. Inspired by fellow cartoon types in their fantasy internet land, these stumble bums need to move out of Daddy’s digs and try making an honest living in the real world.
We are in very dangerous times when the media, academia, one political party, and the willfully ignorant all believe that, despite assassination attempts of almost every Republican president since JFK it is the Constitutional Conservative who is a “threat to our democracy” – the fact that it is a Constitutional Republic that they hate, want to destroy, and wish was a mob rule “democracy”.
Unless the rage on the left is tempered, this is destined to explode, and the cat ladies and AWFULS whose rage fuels the fire are not going to like the outcome.
Too many people are simple-minded enough to believe whatever they are told, no matter how absurd. They are being toyed with and destroyed by the malicious criminals who run the Democrat party and the media. Propaganda should not be legal in America and those who work to inflame the public need to be jailed. I think we should have zero tolerance for what the Dems are doing.
Fundamentals straight from Lenin/Trotsky and the Bolsheviks. That’s how they came to power.
Throughout history, has any REPUBLICAN ever attempted to assasinate a Democrat POTUS?? Asking for a friend…
The seriousness of the situation requires Christians, Jews, Conservatives, and anyone who voted for Trump or is a registered Republican to see there is a plan for them and it isn’t pretty. Ignore history at your own peril. What took place in Russia when Stalin came to power? China and Mao? Castro and Cuba? In Iran 47 years ago?
Why is there a belief that Americans vying for total control total power would be different. Just reflect on the historical deaths of Presidents or attempts and one should see a pattern. But sometimes patterns are missed or ignored. Lincoln, McKinley, another attempt I forget which was a President or candidate, JFK, RFK, MLK, Reagan, and Trump up to four times. Does anyway believe that tomorrow or two years from now we will all be holding hands?
Revisit Trump 45 and the hatred. Covid and the hatred against any unvaxxed. J6 and the tracking down of anyone who travelled to DC. Airlines and others freely gave up information. Imprisoned hundreds without due process.
Chris Wray war on Catholics and the greatest threat is domestic whites.
Obama and transforming America from the mouth of a man mentored by registered Communist Frank Marshall Davis. Launched his presidential campaign via Bill Ayers. Was employed by the Ayers foundation in Chicago. Choose as his campaign man Axelrod who’s parents were known Marxists. His senior advisor married into a family tied to the movement. Kamala and her parents. Tampon Timmy and his love affair with all things CCP.
Democrats as a whole have a desire for revolution.
Joe Biden wanted to pack the Supreme Court – fifteen judges. Someday you will see a Democrat President again. A Democrat Congress and the court will be packed. At that point the tribunals will begin.
As Martin Niemoller lamented “First they came for Socialists and I did not speak out – because I was not a Socialist. Then they came for the Trade Unionists and I did not speak out as I was not a Trade Unionist. Then they came for the Jews and I did not speak out as I was not a Jew. Then the came for me and there was no left to speak for me.
There were apparently credible reports of the would-be assassin last summer that seemed like he had been groomed for the task. Reported fbi agent or agents visiting his place of employment and his home. They reported that guy had last been visited the day prior to his attempt. Apparently cell phones had been tracked to a building adjacent to an office of the fbi. Somehow, those reports vanished.
Now we learn of an ex-Special Forces guy, now retired, who critically asks, how did this would-be assassin know where the President and his advisors were seated, how was he able to get a room in a hotel that highly probably had been full since the previous month? With at least two previous attempts at assassination, why was security so nonchalant as reported by Greta and Kari?
Apparently, the would-be assassin’s sister described his affliction for getting news from Social Media. Again, Big Tech is no friend of truth or objectivity.
Why has nothing been done about the financial support for the obvious insurrection riots and demonstrations? Why have late night ‘comedians’ been allowed to spewl their hatred and insurrection so freely without even an interview with Justice? We were advised three different times starting last summer that the DOJ would be investigating the financing of the rioters and insurrectionists. What were the results of those “investigations”? Finances today is quite easy to trace.
The Democrat Party employs violence now as it did back in the hayday of the kkk. Why are Schumer and Akeem allowed to freely verbally, violently attack fostering physical threats? Shcumer is an especially despicable piece of garbage who has threatened the Supreme Court. Akeem presents as parroting dimwit. The Republican Party behaves like a herd of cats, unorganized and each heading in a different direction. If the current Administration is unable to bring the ship around, it will never get done before the start of the next century.
Historically, republics last just about 250 years, or so I’ve heard. I think we are in the process of confirming that as fact. Sad, actually.
Most of that destruction has occured the last 50 years.
I no longer recognize this country, it is devolving fast into some grotesque mutation of Babylon.
Larry Grathwohl infiltrated the Weather Underground in the 1970s, and was stunned to hear those academics coolly considering the need to kill “25 million Americans” who they estimated would fight them for their freedom.
Here’s his interview.
