This is a recent poll from a reasonably reputable polling operation, Rasmussen: https://napolitaninstitute.org/2024/09/18/17-say-america-would-be-better-off-if-trump-had-been-killed/
"Poll: 28% of Democrats say U.S. better off if Trump were assassinated"
I have long wondered how I personally can forgive the average Leftist once this is all over and we've restored our Republic. God and His forgiveness is divine, but I am far from divine.
Q spoke many times about how truth will wake up the masses. But this poll goes beyond run of the mill leftist stupidity. To answer "yes" to this poll makes you unredeemable. You don't "wake up" from this kind of hatred and evil.
I don't know how we can share a country with these people. This is grotesque.
In the days following the first assassination attempt I spent some time with Trump-hating acquaintances. I noticed that they were all uncharacteristically QUIET about the subject of DJT (this suited me, because ordinarily they rag on him, and I stay quiet and wait for the subject to be changed - it makes my life more peaceful).
I realised the reason for their silence was because of their disappointment that he was still alive. I could sense it like an elephant in the room, yet none of them was going to be the first to say this out loud. Yes, it is very evil, and the evil has become normalised. Evil is seductive.
I don't have any answers other than to say I recognise the problem that you identify. I have adopted a practice of praying silently for people like this when I am around them. In addition, I have curtailed my social calendar (which was fairly low-key anyway) to minimise my interactions with them.
If any of you frens has a way forward please let me know.
One of my dearest friends is one of the most infected with TDS. I try to steer clear of politics around her. She will make comments here and there (such as the "it's Trump's fault he was shot at" bullshit), but I refuse to engage because I know that I have a scorching temper and if I let my tongue loose for just one moment I will say and do things I might regret (or might not regret). I have to keep myself on an extremely short leash. I try to keep in mind that on the inside she has qualities that are good (otherwise she wouldn't be my friend). She would give her own kidney to save a friend. She would open a vein for me.
I pray someday that whatever "woke mind virus" infects these people can be cured and they will see the truth. If they don't, then they won't be a part of my future. But until all this shakes out, I won't know. I leave it all in God's hands. Politics are a circus side show. The fight for our souls is the real war here.
Notice that most of the time it's us conservatives that feel we need to control what we say around others. Meanwhile, it's half expected for liberals to spew vitriol whenever and wherever they go. Generally they don't meet much resistance from our side as most of us wish to avoid confrontation. What would our culture look like if our side sought confrontation in the form of debate?
It would look like what it always looks like: insults, then screaming (or petulant silence) then violence.
Violence should be met with staunch resistance, as it was in America every generation before ours. The lowering of testosterone in our men goes hand in hand with the increase of tolerance towards irrationality and incivility. It's all by design, I think from generational poisoning by plastics. Before the 1980's, plastic was rarely used. Now it is nearly impossible to get away from it. Practically everything we consume is wrapped in plastic.
