OPINION
Assassination Fixation
Jeff Davidson | Sep 29, 2024
The opinions expressed by columnists are their own and do not necessarily represent the views of Townhall.com.
It is beyond distressing to realize that a significant fraction of Democrats profess that it's okay to assassinate a political candidate, namely, Donald Trump. A variety of news anchors, reporters, and rank-and-file Democrats seek to blame Donald Trump himself for assassination attempts on his life. This assertion is absurd beyond reason but is exactly what is happening.
Advocates for Lawless and Societal Breakdown
Even worse, in thinly veiled language, some of these pundits, who should know better, are hinting that perhaps it would be best if Donald Trump were assassinated. At Democrat/progressive/liberal rallies, some participants have signs that state that they want Trump to be killed. This is irresponsibility to the nth degree.
Do these people fully realize what they are advocating? If Donald Trump or any other political candidate in American life is deemed suitable for assassination, our country as we know it will decompose.
If Donald Trump were to be assassinated, at the least, it would throw the election into complete turmoil. The response from hardcore advocates on the right would be unpredictable and varied. We could be talking about snipers on rooftops picking off targets. Who knows what such an assassination would unleash on our country?
A Banana Republic in the Making
The longer view is worse, still. Too often, political assassinations have occurred in banana republics and far-flung places around the world. In truth, we look down upon such societies. We don't count them as viable nations. We see them as unstable, anarchy-ruled countries unworthy of our partnership economically, politically, militarily, intellectually, or otherwise.
The notion that it's okay to assassinate a political candidate with whom you disagree is the essence of what once would have been called un-American activity. From our founding to the present, it generally has been accepted that the assassination of political foes is abhorrent. Abraham Lincoln, unfortunately, took the first fatal bullet among presidents, followed by James Garfield, William McKinley, and John F. Kennedy. Others were shot or shot at, but not fatally, including Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, and the aforementioned Donald Trump.
