Democrats would do anything to stay in power including killing Trump.
They are a corrupt criminal bunch, not any different than the American Mob or the Italian Mafia or the Japanese Yakuza or the Chinese Triad, only way to deal with their enemies and with anyone who stands in their way is through killing. |
CG, Why would the Democratic Party want to assassinate Trump? In polls earlier this year, a generic Republican candidate beat Biden by about 6 points, and a generic Democrat beat Trump by about the same margin. So the Democrats wised up and replaced their loser. The Republicans didn't when they had the chance. Nikki Hailey, Doug Burgum or Tim Scott would kick Harris' ass. Even J.D. Vance would probably beat her. Not Trump IMHO.
And that's something Democrats realize. They're gleeful about it. They want Trump alive and running for office. Democratic and independent leaning voters are going to turn out in droves because they believe that Trump tried to steal the 2020 election and nuked Roe vs. Wade. Not only does it mean they'll probably win the presidency, but it will help them in down ballot elections too. Would Democrat Jon Tester have raised $140 million for his Senate campaign if Trump weren't running? I doubt it.
On the other hand, if you're saying the rhetoric from Democrats was what part of what caused Routh to want to assassinate Trump, you're probably right. From the New York Times, quoting Routh's book,
“Democracy has dissolved quickly under our watch,” Mr. Routh wrote, describing the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol as a catastrophe “perpetrated by Donald Trump and his undemocratic posse.”

(Aside, this is a great article if you have a NYT subscription. Too long to excerpt here though.)
Routh also bought into the fiction by neoconservative Democrats and Republicans that the war in Ukraine must be fought to the last Ukrainian, to protect western Democracy. He said more than once he was happy to die for the Ukrainian cause, and maybe assassinating Trump, who supports a negotiated end to the war, was going to be his way of doing it.
In reality Trump never was (or will be) a threat to democracy in the USA. American institutions, like Congress, the Justice Department, and state and local governments were going to prevent him from overturning the election. And negotiating an end to the Ukraine conflict, like what Trump wants to do, is far preferable to the endless war promoted by Biden and Harris. But Routh, bombarded by rhetoric from Democrats, the MSM and neoconservatives didn't know any better. So he decided to try to take out Trump.
