The Chosen One
It is quite impossible to exaggerate the historic nature of the moment in which we are all currently living. Our nation, our civilization, our very world is at a crossroads, and there is only one man capable of leading us back to the right path...
Within seconds, the imagery of President Trump defiantly raising a fist as he got back on his feet, to thunderous applause from the audience, was burned into my mind forever... it was the image of the triumphant fist-pump, with a majestic American flag in the background, that was seen, shared, and revisited the most. President Donald J. Trump, like the Star-Spangled Banner, was still there...
... I was overcome with a much more powerful emotion: pure, unadulterated, white-hot rage. Rage at the weasley little insect that tried, and failed, to take out the greatest man in recent American history. Rage at the mainstream media for downplaying the severity of the incident, with headlines declaring that Trump had left the stage simply due to "loud noises." Rage at the leftist troglodytes on social media who were openly bemoaning the fact that the shooter had missed...
And what connects all of these threads together is their unified hatred of not only President Trump himself, but everything he represents: A forgotten working class that has finally found their champion; patriotic Americans who refuse to accept the notion that their homeland has somehow been an evil nation all along; outsiders who threaten the status quo of an entrenched political establishment that has been allowed to get drunk off of power for the last 80 years...
It is no exaggeration to say that the tyranny we now face - the prosecutorial Deep State, the censorious tech oligarchs, the lying media, and the conniving international elites - is a far greater threat to humanity than that imposed by the British crown in 1776. Donald Trump understands this, and now it is time for all of us to understand it as well...
Donald J. Trump: The Long Road to the White House
Are you better off today than you were four years ago?

How the Trump Assassination Attempt Changes the Presidential Campaign, by Scott Pinsker, PJ Media, 14 July 2024:
... Trump isn't just someone we watch - he's someone we personally know.
And last night, the American people saw someone they personally know get shot in the frickin' head on live television...
It changes the trajectory for both candidates: Trump has now cheated death, taken the slings, arrows, lawsuits - and even bullets - of his fiercest critics, and he's still standing... And today, Trump exudes strength, power, leadership, determination and defiance...
Post-assassination attempt, Biden really can't attack Trump the way he did before. He can't use phrases like "target" or "crosshairs." He can't use dehumanizing language...
There's a machismo gap. (Or call it a toughness gap.) On one side, you have an unbowed, unbroken, unrepentant Trump, hoisting his fist in the air and urging Americans to continue to fight the good fight. And on the other side, there's Joe Biden... stumbling over stairs, falling off bikes, shuffling his feet, and looking like a stiff sneeze could send him to the ER... And it's this contrast that will stay with the American people through November.
Providence and President Trump, by Newt Gingrich, 17 July 2024:
... If President Trump had not turned at exactly the right moment, he would have almost certainly been killed.
When I told Hannity that I really believed President Trump’s survival was providential, that term went around the world.
The concepts of divine intervention and providence have a long record in American history...
“But for God, I would have been dead,” is a legitimate sentiment...
President Trump's courage and determination after having been shot has created new level of affection - and a new intensity of support - among those who believe in him. He was always the champion of a movement rather than a traditional candidate. Now he has become a symbol of courage, defiance, and determination....
The God-Emperor Reborn! by Gunnar Alfredsson , Counter-Currents, 19 July 2024:
President Donald Trump is the avatar of white America - its embodiment - and any attack on him is an attack on the historic American nation. The only way that this ends without an explosion of political violence and a second civil war is if Trump survives the campaign and goes on to win the upcoming election against the most corrupt system in the history of modernity...
Whether people want to admit to it or not, America is the linchpin of the West. If America falls to globalism and is demographically swamped by the hordes of the Third World, the West as a whole will be lost forever...
Spencer J. Quinn is quite right that America is being "held together by nothing more than Donald Trump’s life."...
Greg Johnson points out that Trump broke several taboos, including the "Republican gentlemen's agreement to never broach populist measures like immigration restriction and protectionism." Secondly, he helped "reorient political debate" away from the perfunctory Republican-versus-Democrat dichotomy and toward "nationalism and populism versus globalism and elitism." Moreover, he "triggered the Left to drop the mask of sanity."...
The regime is playing with fire, and has been for a long time. This latest incident, however, is a marked escalation in their campaign of full-spectrum violence against Trump and the American people...
