Do you think every Democrat calling Donald Trump Hitler had anything to do with the two assassination attempts thus far?
That’s a good question. An even better one is, why did both attempts seem to be committed by people who seem to have been Republicans?
Seem to have been Republicans? You got any evidence for that? I suppose it's possible. Liz Cheney is technically still a Republican. It's not like she hasn't also engaged in the Trump is Hitler and must be stopped by any means necessary rhetoric that likely led to the assassination attempts.
And when the Confederates saw Jackson standing fearless like a stonewall, the army of Northern Virginia took courage and drove the federal army off their land.

Every President since Ronald Reagan has been called ‘Hitler’, from what I can see looking at the historical record. It’s a stupid comparison, and it likely isn’t having any special effect this time around. It would seem that Trump is a special case and is capable of even driving Republicans on the margins of sanity to be so tired of his BS that they’ve decided upon taking matters into their own hands.

Anyhow, I couldn’t find any instances of Harris or Cheney calling Trump ‘Hitler’. Given your ask above of “You got any evidence for that?”, I would pose the same question back to you.

I do see that Trump has spent a considerable amount of time and energy disparaging and/or lying about large groups of Americans, or trying to press the case that his political opponents need to be jailed or otherwise eliminated, using some very colorful phrasing. His repeated behavior would seem to be unique amongst all past Presidential candidates. So there’s that.

We've had four years of Kamelot. Most Americans believe that we're headed in the wrong direction as a result.

More than any faction I've ever witnessed, MAGA loves to talk on behalf of the American People or "most Americans" even though MAGA is a minority, even less of a minority than the Nazi party was in Germany.
