Jim Jordan: "I don't think it should be lost on anyone that we have a third assassination attempt on President Trump in the same week we learned that the Southern Poverty Law Center has been paying and generating hate."
Gym Jordan would feel right at home in this thread.
Are you suggesting this was some sort of false flag to distract people?
I think the tenor of the thread is such because the radical left has shown itself to be inclined to political violence.
22% of liberals under 44 say it’s okay to feel happy when a political opponent dies, compared to just 6% of conservatives their age (YouGov - 2025)
No, I'm not.
The American education system, mainstream media, and the entire Democratic Party have been blamed in this thread. If it had been limited to extremism, my response would have been different.
Some MAGA voices are increasingly framing criticism of Donald Trump as "inciting violence," which risks blurring the line between actual threats and ordinary political disagreement. In the rush to attack non-conservatives, some critics are unintentionally reinforcing that framing.
A poll taken the week after Charlie Kirk died just might be a tad skewed.
What Americans really think about political violence
Most Americans say political violence is never justified, but younger and more liberal Americans are more likely to say it can be.

Are you thinking the liberals are more or less supportive of celebrating the death of a political opponent based on the recency to Kirk’s murder?A poll taken the week after Charlie Kirk died just might be a tad skewed.

I’d think principle would mean the responses wouldn’t shift dramatically.
No one is suggesting the MAGA people are innocent here. But the radical left has attempted to assassinate trump three times now (so far) along with quite a few other instances.
For all the claims that conservatives are the most violent threat to the US, the radical left has tried much harder to start a civil war (which would almost certainly be the result of a successful assassination attempt on the POTUS)…
Far fewer Americans support political violence than recent polls suggest
Well-known flaws in conventional polling methods may be creating the incorrect perception that many Americans think political violence is justified.

Far fewer Americans support political violence than recent polls suggest
A series of recent events has sparked alarm about rising levels of political violence in the U.S. These episodes include the assassination of political activist Charlie Kirk on Sept. 10, 2025; the murder of a Democratic Minnesota state legislator and her husband in June 2025; and two attempts to kill Donald Trump during the 2024 presidential campaign.
Some surveys have reported that a large number of Americans are willing to support the use of force for political ends, or they believe that political violence may sometimes be justified.
My research is in political science and data analytics. I have conducted surveys for almost 25 years. For the past three years, I have studied new techniques that leverage artificial intelligence to conduct and analyze interviews.
My own recent surveys, which use AI to ask people about why they give their answers, show that the surprisingly high level of support in response to these questions is likely the result of confusion about what these questions are asking, not actual support for political violence.
Even non-magas are seeing the pattern of inflammatory language from the left increasing violent action. Just read the manifests.
If the left wasn’t constantly calling people hitler, fascists, pedophiles, etc, maybe the temp wouldn’t be so high…
Can you point to specific manifestos where attackers say Democratic rhetoric caused their actions? (Non-MAGAs ≠ unbiased observers.)
If Trump were behaving anywhere close to rationally, maybe the temp wouldn't be so high.
He seems pretty rational to me. He gets things done. Things good for all Americans.
Like I said many times. The dumbest people next to some random Army national guard unit from Tennessee that I ever met in the military was the Secret Service. They were concerned what the cover was at the local strip club than the logistics of getting the president from point A to point B when he landed in an hour. True story
We would not have a civil war over Trump hypothetically being assassinated unless Vance were to suspend civil liberties in response to it. Which even then I have my doubts because usually civil wars have to have some belief that the federal military could either be corrupted or toppled by the opposing faction. I don’t really see a clear unified opposition to Trump’s presidency that actually has the ability to oppose the US military. It would take something crazy like Blue States trying to invade or break off from DC utilizing their NG units. Which nothing seems to suggest that they 1) have that pull or 2) they would lean that direction
The chance of Civil War right now is as close to 0% as possible.
The US military is far too big and organized (even under the current idiots) for a Band of rebel freedom fighters to be in any way effective against and especially when over half the country supports what’s happening.
In addition to that the Left can’t even be bothered to mount collective efforts to peacefully protest in a large scale way that might be able to enact Change much less a violent one.
We are completely docile and compliant as a nation while oppression and mistreatment just washes over us.
The US is completely cooked.
If we want help it’s only possible from an outside source that has been ‘radicalized’ by common decency.
The cognitive dissonance necessary to even say this needs a government grant to study. Nine hours from now, the exact opposite will be declared by another red hat wearing voter.
Four years and it was all a bunch of "Biden isn't even there, he's not conscious, he may be dead. He had to use auto pen" (as a side note: when it comes out after Red Hat Guy leaves office that he used auto pen way back in 2018, get ready for the Greatest Hits album of "But Biden did it too", "That's different" and my personal favorite, "Arrest Obama!").
NOW, however, he was a wicked genius overseeing a criminal organization and totally wrecked the country. Did all kinds of irreparable damage that require the re-election of a guy who couldn't run a casino.
Was it the pandemic he mismanaged?
Maybe the riot he instigated in his sore losing over an election?
Was it his constantly hiding behind Presidential immunity for frivolous things?
Maybe it was his foul language unbecoming a President?
Maybe it was that insanely dumb war he got us into in Iran?
Oh, I'm sorry, that wasn't him now, was it?
I guess you haven’t read Allen’s manifesto where he repeatedly referred to Trump as a pedophile, part of the repeated mantra from the left.
I’m not saying trump isn’t a pedophile as the allegations are unproven, but the repeated use of inflammatory rhetoric like that isn’t helpful.
AKA “If she wasn’t dressed that way she wouldn’t have been sexually assaulted.”
Weird how non-lefties are always expected to step up and denounce behaviors from the right, yet when one of the left tries to kill the POTUS (again), what we get is rationalization, as if political violence is okay as long as the right person is attacked…
I’m not referencing the people vs the government - if you don’t think a bunch of sitting dems wouldn’t be killed in response then you aren’t paying attention to maga. While I disagree with tit-for-tat type responses - especially in response to violence - I know enough maga people to be pretty confident many would be ready to die over trump being killed. Many of them have 100% bought into the idea that he is saving the country and anyone opposing him is evil.
Just as there is toxicity which leads to violence from the left there is a lot of ‘readiness’ in the maga camp. There would be a lot of violent responses if trump we’re assassinated.
