Then came Trump.
Trump wasn’t a politician. He didn’t have a filter. The swamp hated him for his unwillingness to play along. The political class and the embedded bureaucracy went after him. The lie that won’t die is the Russia collusion myth. It didn’t matter that the left’s savior, Robert Mueller, and his report didn’t implicate Trump as a stooge of Putin; the left has never let go of that lie. There was no war in Ukraine while Trump was president, but it's Trump who is the Putin’s pocket. How Trump is Putin’s puppet is never answered. It's just a given because Trump is Hitler.
Then J6 happened. Although the mob was removed from the Capitol with the vote to confirm completed within hours, those few hours of mayhem convinced a vast cohort of the crazy left that “democracy had been on the brink.” Transfer of power and democracy were never in danger, but the cult of the deranged had formed.
Like all false religions, it needed an antagonist. It had one in Donald Trump. When Trump announced that he was going to run for president, the cult marshaled its priests, high priests, and idols to deliver the sermon to the cult’s congregants. Donald Trump is evil. He must be destroyed.
Trump is Hitler reborn. Trump is a threat to democracy. Trump is a threat to your very lives. Week after week, month after month, the cult’s idols — the celebrity class — told cultists the same thing: America as we know it will end if Trump returns to the White House. Old lies were repeated. New lies invented. The Lincoln Project's favorite midget, Rick Wilson, said Trump should get a bullet:

On X, in late December 2023, the “Biden/HarrisHQ” posted this:
Not to be outdone, three days later, the Washington Post published an Op/Ed that offered
“Yes, it's okay to compare Trump to Hitler.”
There has been a never-ending stream of vitriol aimed at Trump — almost every nitwit actor or musician letting their fans know that democracy is at risk. Then the hammer dropped. At the debate, President Joe Biden demonstrated that he’s a human carrot and the left went into full panic. Biden's campaign started to tank. So what to do? Turned up the rhetoric. Unending “Trump’s a fascist” and “Trump is the end of democracy” rhetoric. Biden and Harris repeated, ad nauseam, the lie that “Trump has vowed to be a dictator," knowing full well that that isn’t what he said. True believers listened.
They heard the call to arms. Who wouldn’t want to stop Hitler? Who wouldn’t defend democracy against a dictator? Surely, a thousand celebrities can’t be wrong. The priests are telling them that they must stop the new Hitler. True believers listened.
Trump was shot on Saturday. Was the gunman motivated specifically by the unending bad-faith lies and the constant stream of false comparisons and fear porn? "Trump will end democracy," and he's "literally" Hitler was being repeated right before Trump was shot. As certain as the sun will rise, I am certain of that. The gunman, that madman who tried to assassinate Donald Trump and managed to murder an innocent man, was, indeed, motivated by the left's unending fear porn and violent rhetoric. This is what they believe. Violence is the objective — and true believers are disappointed in the result.

That woman is not an aberration; she's just upfront and honest about her bloodlust and her belief in false gods and idols.
The gunman pulled the trigger; the left loaded the gun.
