Over the years, many Trump haters and Democrat supporters have staged his killing by stabbing, beheading, and blowing up the White House. Earlier, the Secret Service had initiated a probe against Missouri State Senator Maria Chappelle-Nadal who hoped that President Donald Trump would be assassinated.
Incidentally, apart from Democratic leadership, several prominent celebrities had also chipped in stroking shrill rhetoric against Trump and calling for violence or killing Former US President Trump.
CNN journalist brazenly asked to see in writing that “protests are supposed to be polite and peaceful”, an apparent attempt to whitewash violence against political rivals. “When was the last time an actor assassinated a President”, Hollywood actor Johnny Depp, a Trump hater, in 2017 had voiced for Trump’s assassination when the latter was in the office in the White House. Popular rapper Snoop Dog had once staged an act of killing a clown of Donald Trump.
In 2017, comedian Kathy Griffin posed with a gory dummy, carefully made to resemble the severed head of then-US President Trump.
Uncanny similarities and striking parallels between Biden’s veil campaign and what cabal wishes for in India: Tactics of de-humanising and painting a target on political rivals
The shrill rhetoric and
dehumanising tactics
glaringly visible in the hate campaign against Donald Trump find uncanny similarities and parallels with what the leftist and Islamist ecosystem has been running against Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Akin to Democrats and its ecosystem’s hate campaign against Trump, the Congress, and its Islamo-leftist cabal have left no stone unturned in dehumanising PM Modi, painting him as an enemy of humankind, particularly minorities, Indian democracy, and a fascist dictator, etc that has to be eliminated. This includes “calling for action”, and street protests, which have the innate propensity to turn violent and baying for physical harm, death threats, threats of Indira Gandhi-kind of assassination, etc directed against PM Modi.
Over the years, Rahul Gandhi and his cabal’s campaign against PM Modi has taken a confrontational, darker turn with shrill rhetoric and machismo posturing taking over competitive and responsible subject matter-based opposition. This includes increased propensity, tolerance, and condoning calls for street violence, summary trial, and justice as well as calling/condoning for direct physical harm and “killing”/assassination of PM Modi.
The opposition has been adamantly portraying PM Modi as a threat to “democracy”, the “idea of India”, and “minorities” one which needed to be stopped at all costs including warranting a civil war-kind of chaos
To dethrone the dictator and making him receive his due Justice.
In their hate campaign against Modi portraying him as a fascist dictator, “genocide enabler” and a “Dehuman” and so-called opposition to his policies and ideology, Congress and I.N.D.I. alliance leaders have peddled extremist rhetoric against PM Modi and shown abject contempt for his life. More so, just like Democratic leadership and their prominent celebrity supporters, Congress and I.N.D.I. alliance leaders have made remarks baying for PM Modi’s blood and voicing for his assassination.
In the garb of acting against their imagined ‘danger’ which PM Modi possesses, they have attempted to instigate and brainwash a large voter base to “hit the road” against “dictator” Modi, choke prominent and strategic places including Chicken’s neck, directing street violence, arson. On multiple occassions, especially days before the announcement of the Lok Sabha 2024 election results, they attempted to instigate people against democracy, and the legitimacy of PM Modi whom they portray as an evil dictator and ready to do whatever it takes to avoid his re-run
India direct threat, Senior Congress leader and former Union minister Subodh Kant Sahai in June 2022 had prophesied a Hitler-kind death to PM Modi. The Congress and its cabal have also ridiculed PM Modi’s security breach but also downplayed the risk and projected it as a ‘political gimmick’.
Notably, when a shoe/slipper was thrown at PM Modi’s cavalcade in Varanasi, Rahul Gandhi instead of highlighting security concerns, mocked PM Modi saying that nobody is scared of him now, indirectly encouraging the public do more of such acts. Earlier, when PM Modi’s security convoy was halted for hours at a bridge in Punjab, the Congress party had attempted to downplay it, trying to brush it as a “political gimmick”.
More than a decade earlier, in 2013, when Narendra Modi was the BJP’s Prime Ministerial candidate, around six bombs exploded during his rally in Patna, displaying the grave threat to his life.
Apart from the US which has seen around 15 instances of high-level political assassination attempts, with many being successful even, India has lost two Prime Ministers and several Chief Ministers to assassinations which underscores the need to tone down the shrill rhetoric against political opponents and encouragement of physical violence. Political violence and murders are the fastest way to anarchy because when a political leader, especially a nation head gets assassinated, or even attacked, the public at large gets convinced that there is no law and order in the country, that anyone can be killed and there will be no consequences.make it short
