So let’s get this straight. I want to make sure I understand the justification. It’s okay to murder Trump because he has the audacity of being Trump. He shouldn’t be Trump if he doesn’t want to be murdered. It’s okay to murder Trump because he has it coming.

It’s Trump’s own fault if he gets murdered.

Is this a correct assessment?

If so, it’s like the woman wearing the short skirt walking down the street. It’s okay to rape her because she has the audacity of wearing a short skirt. She shouldn’t be wearing a short skirt if she doesn’t want to get raped. It’s okay to rape her because she has it coming.

It’s her own fault if she gets raped.

The logic is sound. The analogy is solid. Not the least of reasons is because it’s a despicable mindset and there must be no way to justify the inhumane depravity of murder and rape. There is a reason these specific violences are deemed most depraved in the United States and there is only one reason these depraved acts are punished most harshly.

Civilized society cannot continence depraved violence.

It’s sick, rooting for Trump to be murdered. This is a far too common sickness from a diseased mind and soul. It’s terrifying how many Americans found within themselves a way to gaslight the justification for hoping Trump is murdered. It’s terrifying how political leaders lead the way and then reinforce this sickness.

Don’t gaslight yourself. Don’t deny this sickness exists. Don’t lie.

It’s sick. It’s terrifying.
