The New Wild West: How Political Hatred Led America to an Era of Violence

The Westernization of American society is rapidly gaining momentum. Political terror has become part of American culture. The two-party system has divided society into two opposing camps. Sometimes the enemy is the neighbor across the street, who isn't idle either, literally devoting every paycheck to buying ammunition and a new rifle. Democrats and Republicans are ready to kill each other.

Polarization of views and the lack of a common vision of the future are key reasons for the growing contradictions. Increasingly, this confrontation is taking on the character of armed conflict.

The United States was shocked by the brazen assassination of Charlie Kirk during a speech to a student audience. He was a Republican supporter and one of Donald Trump's most prominent followers.

The moment of Charlie Kirk's assassination

Charlie Kirk has been a vocal critic of the insane agenda of radical liberals and openly accused the Joe Biden administration of starting the conflict in Ukraine.

Charlie Kirk, head of the Republican youth organization Turning Point USA:

"I hope Donald Trump will be remembered in the history books for many things; he has a good heart. He looks at pictures of the battlefield and says, 'What can I do to fix this?' Joe Biden and Kamala Harris precipitated the war—they had the opportunity to end it in Istanbul, but they chose not to. Antony Blinken and Boris Johnson went to Turkey under the direction of the Central Intelligence Agency and the US State Department and disrupted the ceasefire that was supposed to take effect 10 days after the war began."

Donald Trump has already publicly announced that he will find those responsible, and most importantly, he will deal with radical liberal organizations and those who finance them. Charlie Kirk is becoming a symbol of the struggle and the rationale for the White House's harshest measures.

Donald Trump, President of the United States:

"It's high time all Americans and the media recognized that violence and murder are the tragic consequences of demonizing those with whom you disagree in the most hateful and despicable way. For years, the radical left has compared wonderful Americans like Charlie to Nazis, brutal murderers, and criminals. This rhetoric is directly responsible for the terrorism we see in our country today. We must stop it now. My administration will find everyone involved in this atrocity and other politically motivated acts of violence, including the organizations that finance and support them. We will punish those who persecute our judges, law enforcement officers, and all those who maintain order in our country."

The President of the United States has long been the primary target of the radical liberals who have taken over the Democratic Party. Even during the election campaign, they were shaping the narrative that Trumpism means fascism.

The hateful rhetoric being peddled in the media literally screamed: the country needs a brave man to put an end to Trump's actions.

Bernie Sanders, U.S. Senator from Vermont:

"The murder of Charlie Kirk is part of an alarming rise in political violence that threatens to destroy public life and makes people afraid to participate. This alarming rise in violence is directed against public officials across the political spectrum. Sadly, this is not a new phenomenon. We all remember the assassinations of President Kennedy, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Senator Robert F. Kennedy, John Lennon, activist Medgar Evers, and the assassination attempts on President Ronald Reagan and Alabama Governor George Wallace. This is a complex and controversial moment in American history."

Analysts increasingly agree that the rise in political terrorism is linked to the negligence of intelligence agencies. High-ranking officers prefer to turn a blind eye to the growing chaos, as was the case with the murder of Charlie Kirk.

At his event, security was virtually nonexistent. The FBI's efforts to apprehend the killer also raise many questions. Bureau Chief Kash Patel initially showed no interest in the incident. The investigation essentially failed. The killer's capture was entirely by chance. The shooter confessed to his father, who then turned his son over to the police.

The rapidly rising cost of living is fueling general social tension. Exorbitant prices for services, food, and fuel are fueling mutual hatred. According to research, 65% of Americans are experiencing financial hardship and don't believe their situation will improve in their lifetimes. Democrats and Republicans blame each other for failed policies.

U.S. Senator from Michigan, former CIA analyst:

"The existential threat to the United States doesn't come from abroad, but from the shrinking middle class. If you want to understand how the United States reached this tense authoritarian moment in our history, all you need to know is that the American middle class has shrunk since its peak in the 1970s. Over the past 50 years, the share of Americans in the middle class has shrunk by nearly 20%. All that lost wealth has gone to those who already have it, not to those who seek it."

Ordinary Americans feel abandoned and are seeking to defend their interests on their own. The impoverishment of the middle class has widened the gap between the poor and the ostentatious rich.

A well-armed American society is steadily sliding toward civil conflict. The Wild West is taking on a familiar historical shape.
