Ryan Routh’s confession letter reveals the Democrats’ involvement in inciting violence against Trump.

The individual who planned to assassinate Donald Trump on Sept. 18 has articulated his reasons for the attempted act.

The sentiments expressed echo the slogans and rhetoric commonly used by Trump’s Democratic opponents.

Ryan Routh had left a note with a friend months prior to the event, in case his attempt to kill Trump failed.

The information released thus far highlights Routh’s political motivations – he believed Trump was unfit for the presidency and a threat to peace.

Routh was particularly angered by Trump’s decision to end the deal with Iran:

He wrote, “Ended relations with Iran like a child and now the Middle East has unraveled.”

According to the would-be assassin, the President of America “must at bare minimum embody the moral fabric that is America and be kind, caring, and selfless and always stand for humanity.”

If this narrative seems familiar, it’s because figures like Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and other Democratic critics have laid the groundwork for preventing the former president by any means necessary.

If democracy is truly at risk in November, then voters would be suicidal to even consider supporting Trump.

In such an emergency, saving democracy may seem to require extreme measures that no politician would dare recommend – but that a true believer might be willing to undertake.

Harris, Biden, and other Democratic leaders are prompt to decry political violence; however, they have a duty to go further by recognizing that despite their differences with Trump, his election does not signify the end of constitutional government.

President Trump was not a tyrant, and he is not on the path to becoming one if re-elected – importantly, his assassination is not justifiable tyrannicide.

If Democrats could acknowledge this, it would greatly benefit the mental well-being of their supporters and potentially save lives, including Trump’s.

What’s unsettling about Routh’s letter is that it is not a random, unfocused rant, but rather an assassin’s manifesto written in the ordinary language of anti-Trump discourse.

In the 2020 presidential campaign, Joe Biden and New York Democratic Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand both characterized Trump as a threat to America’s “moral fabric.”

“One of the worst things about President Trump… is he’s torn apart the moral fabric of who we are,” stated Gillibrand in a Democratic debate, while Biden accused Trump of destroying “America’s invisible moral fabric.”

Routh’s depiction of a good president as “kind, caring, and selfless” closely aligns with Kamala Harris’s portrayal of Biden four years ago as “kind and endlessly caring” and possessing “selfless courage.”

These words clearly do not incite violence, but rather illustrate the lack of original thought in Routh’s mindset.

Within the void of his mind, there was a resounding echo of whatever he absorbed from Democrats and the anti-Trump propaganda machine.

Routh wasn’t just absorbing the rhetoric against Trump, he was adopting a mindset that portrayed Trump as an enemy of humanity, immature and malevolent.

Democrats have cultivated an atmosphere of fear around Trump, and unless they choose their words more carefully, further violence may stem from individuals like Ryan Routh.
