The bullet of the assassination against Donald Trump hit the miracle weapon of the Democratic campaign, polarization. The Democrats can no longer brag about the danger of Trump coming to power, so Trump can now campaign not only as a unifier of the divided American nation, i.e. as a real president, but with the topics that the Democrats wanted to divert attention from with the now literally left-wing polarization.

There's something about the air on the East Coast that makes young, white, male registered Republican voters take surprising action. Last April, then-21-year-old Jack Teixeira, a member of the Massachusetts Air National Guard's 102nd Intelligence Unit, leaked classified military documents that turned the mainstream's portrayal of the war in Ukraine on its head. From then on, only the most sophisticated pro-war agitators chanted that the Ukrainian counterattack would be successful, while the leaked documents revealed that the West delivered far fewer weapons than the Ukrainians requested, but we also got a more accurate picture of the battlefield losses of the two warring parties.

Now a 20-year-old white man, also a registered Republican voter, Thomas Crooks of Pennsylvania, got carried away and broke the law when he fired at President Trump. The bullet was intended for the Republican presidential candidate, but providence saved Trump, whose bullet only grazed his ear. This shot will change the American presidential election campaign not only because of the power of the images after the assassination, but also because it hit the election miracle weapon of the American Democrats and the European mainstream, polarization.

We have known for a long time that the globalist mainstream, collectively known as the left, appears in the form of the Democratic Party in the USA, and in the form of the globalist rainbow coalition and pro-war governments in Europe. We have also learned that what they attack their political rivals with is exactly right for them. It's the same with polarization, with the division of society: What the patriotic forces are accused of doing, they do it themselves!

Polarization is a political campaign tool that infinitely simplifies a complex reality and formulates two possible outcomes: In this reading, the political rival patriots are the evil ones, the "bad boys" who, if they come to power, would do all kinds of undesirable things. Do we remember? They also threatened a "right-wing breakthrough" in the European Parliament election, which would result in "the disintegration of the EU", "the return of nationalism" and "it will be necessary to travel with a passport again". Reprimanding tends to keep undecided voters in the mainstream or drive them back there.

As long as Marine Le Pen or Trump come to power, the public is being ridiculed, there is no need to talk about the real issues, where the pro-war elite has far from good credentials.

Before we continue to show the impact of the shootings on the US presidential election, let's mention the responsibility of social media controlled by the globalist mainstream! Censorship called "moderation" is blind to the eyes of the left, so the Democrats' tsunami of anti-Trump hatred was somehow not covered.

After the assassination, Democratic politicians can no longer call Trump the "new Hitler" or talk about him as a "two-legged target" because we see what verbal violence leads to. This verbal violence also led to attacks on the British politician Nigel Farage and the Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico, because there is always a person with a broken mind who after a while has had enough of social media snorting and bouncing off the wall of the opinion bubble.

So the bullet intended for Trump hit the polarization maximized by the Democratic Party, because

whoever polarizes from now on will bear the odium not only of the weekend assassination, but of all the political violence that will take place in the rest of the campaign.

If the Democrats can't shout and polarize with Trump's rise to power, it turns out that they have all the wrong topics: A presidential candidate with obvious mental problems who doesn't want to hand over the nomination to someone else. They still have a month and a half to run until the Democratic presidential nominating convention at the end of August.

If the Democrats cannot polarize, then it turns out that Trump is better able to unite the divided American nation, that is, he is a real statesman and president.

If Trump does not have to defend himself against the slander brought against him in court and in the media, but can use his energy and media time to present his own program, it is immediately clear that he has a better offer for the USA based on his performance so far:

During Trump's presidency, before Covid, the US economy grew with low interest rates and the growth trickled down to almost all social classes. During Trump's four years, approx. half a million migrants arrived in the USA, seven million during Biden's four years.

Democrats are also polarized so that they don't have to talk about things like this and other things that are uncomfortable for them: West Coast cities that have become unlivable under their leadership, from which the middle class is fleeing. About the rampant crime against which the police, deprived of its resources (Defund the Police!) and its self-respect, cannot and does not really dare to act. About the high interest rates on loans that take money out of Americans' pockets. About the decline of the middle class, which is mostly manifested in the fact that they cannot pass on their status to the next generation and, as the most important topic, about the war, which the Democrats would continue to finance, while Trump would create peace "within 24 hours".

The assassin aimed at Trump, and his shot changed the entire presidential campaign. Fight! (Fight!) — said the wounded Trump. His call was addressed to his supporters, but his message is being heard all over America and we Europeans are hearing it too.
