With the incessant buzz surrounding Kamala Harris and her new running mate Tim Walz, it’s easy to forget that Donald Trump survived an assassination attempt last month and came out on top. The investigation of how a shooter came so close to killing the former president is still underway with no end in sight.
It’s also easy to forget how desperate the Democrat were in their rhetoric. They routinely cast Trump and his supporters as fascists threatening democracy. Even the shooting hardly deterred them from using this language. If it happened to motivate certain deranged individuals to take a shot at Trump, then it was Trump’s fault for sounding so fascist in the first place.
