The radical left and neocon right have gone further and further out on a ledge.
Charlie Kirk's assassination proved what conservatives have been warning about for years.
And a shocking new poll just exposed one terrifying reality Americans expect in the next five years.
Democrats created an environment where assassinating conservatives feels normal
A new Politico poll dropped numbers that should terrify every conservative in America.
More than half of Americans — 51% of Trump voters and 53% of Harris voters — expect a political candidate will be assassinated within the next five years.¹
Think about what that means.
Agent provocateur political radicals have spent years calling Trump "Hitler" and comparing conservatives to Nazis if they dare oppose Democrats’ or Liz Cheney neocons’ policies.
It’s as though they’re trying to normalize the idea that killing political opponents is justified.
The poll surveyed 2,051 American adults online between October 18 and 21, just weeks after purported leftist gunman Tyler Robinson murdered conservative activist Charlie Kirk at a campus event in Utah.¹
Kirk was 31 years old with a wife and two young children.
His crime? Building Turning Point USA into the largest conservative youth organization in America and daring to challenge left-wing campus indoctrination, censorship, and policies that put America last.
Robinson's family reportedly said he expressed contempt for Kirk's political views before assassinating him.²
This came months after two separate assassination attempts on Trump during the 2024 campaign, the latest coming at the hands of a deranged, deep state-linked man who testified in Washington against de-escalating the conflict between Russia and Ukraine over the Donbas region and who was even apparently recruiting foreign fighters online to go to Ukraine.
Fifty-five percent of Americans believe political violence will increase in the near future.¹
Democrats feel this way more than anyone — 61% of Harris voters expect violence to spike compared to only 50% of Trump supporters.¹
Democrats are at the spearpoint in mainstreaming political violence the numbers indicate
The poll exposed something even more sinister.
Twenty-four percent of Americans said "there are some instances where violence is justified" to achieve political goals.¹
One in four Americans now think killing their political opponents is acceptable.
And Democrats drove that number into the stratosphere.
An October NPR poll revealed the ugly truth about which party normalized violence.³
Only 12% of Democrats believed violence might be necessary to "right the country" in April 2024.³
Six months later? That number jumped to 28%.³
Democrats more than doubled their support for political violence in half a year — right after spending months demonizing Trump and conservatives as existential threats to democracy.
Look at who's been targeted over the past year.
Charlie Kirk assassinated Americans are told by a leftist who hated his politics.²
Trump survived two assassination attempts.⁴
And Democrats celebrate it.
Remember when leftists made accused healthcare CEO killer Luigi Mangione into a folk hero? A musical about him sold out theaters.⁵
The left cheers when their enemies get attacked.
Democrats want to pretend this violence came out of nowhere.
It didn't.
They spent years comparing Trump to Hitler.
They called conservatives Nazis and fascists.
They told their followers Trump represented an existential threat that had to be stopped by any means necessary.
University of Maryland researchers found 150 politically motivated attacks in the first half of 2025 alone — nearly twice as many as the same period in 2024.⁴
Princeton University tracked over 600 incidents of threats and harassment against local officials in 2024 — a 74% increase from 2022.⁵
Threats against federal judges doubled from 2021 to 2023, climbing to 457.⁷
Tesla charging stations got firebombed after Elon Musk endorsed Trump.⁸
Political party offices for both Democrats and Republicans were attacked.⁸
The violence is spinning out of control because Democrats normalized it.
Trump is fighting back against the radical left's reign of terror
Charlie Kirk's assassination marked a turning point.
The Trump Administration designated Antifa and multiple other left-wing organizations as Foreign Terrorist Organizations after Kirk's murder.
White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller vowed to "identify, disrupt, dismantle, and destroy these networks and make America safe again."⁹
"For years, those on the radical left have compared wonderful Americans like Charlie to Nazis and the world's worst mass murderers and criminals," Trump said after Kirk's death. "This kind of rhetoric is directly responsible for the terrorism that we're seeing in our country today, and it must stop right now."⁵
Trump deployed the National Guard to Memphis and other Democrat-run cities plagued by violence.
He's cracking down on the organized left-wing terror networks that Democrats refuse to acknowledge.
The country hasn't seen political violence like this since the 1960s when assassins killed President John F. Kennedy, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King Jr., and Robert F. Kennedy.
Now more than half of Americans expect a political assassination in the next five years and a quarter think violence is sometimes justified.
The solution is simple but it’s not easy.
Get right with God.
Refuse to live in fear.
Go into the lion’s den, civilly engage with opponents, and change hearts and minds.
In short, live like Charlie Kirk did.
