Second Attempt On Trump? Blame The Victim

The woman wouldn't have been raped if she wore more modest clothes. The man wouldn't have been robbed if he had a cheaper briefcase. The couple wouldn't have been carjacked if they didn't drive an expensive car. Trump wouldn't have been shot if he spoke more moderately.
In other words, blame the victim. That makes us feel self-righteous, and also feel safer. If we don't do those things, we won't be raped, robbed, carjacked, or shot at by political opponents. Yes, that feels a lot safer.
Whether it really is safer is another matter entirely. But being leftists, we aren't interested in reality. Stalin and Mao were the worst mass murderers in history. But you could go through primary school, high school, university, and graduate school, and never hear that sad fact even once.
What you would hear is that true communism hasn't been tried yet – it is the wave of the future. And as Lenin is said to have remarked, "You have to break eggs to make an omelette." But cooks who broke so many millions of eggs, and made so few omelettes, would be fired on the spot.
If you were indoctrinated to ignore the realities of the past, it becomes easy to ignore the realities of today. Trump is becoming less likely to survive until Election Day? No matter, the attempts on Trump probably were phony. And even if they were real, it is Trump's own fault anyhow. Now pass the veggieburgers. You think we could afford beef?
