“Ryan Wesley Routh ‘believed the rhetoric of Biden and Harris, and he acted on it,’ Donald Trump said in a Fox News interview …. ‘Their rhetoric is causing me to be shot at …’ Well, no, for two reasons. The less important reason is that neither Biden nor Harris have ever publicly incited the murder of opposing domestic political candidates and have, in fact, inveighed against Trump’s would-be assassins. … Our masters find the idea of being hunted by mere serfs horrifying, and that horror expresses as a protective attitude even toward their opponents within the ruling class. Cabin-dwelling ‘patriot’ bumpkins and dirty hippie street protesters? Fair game! But touch not the elite! … The more important reason is that words have neither eyes to look through a scope with nor fingers to squeeze a trigger with. That takes a person with the freedom/agency to make decisions.” (09/17/24)
