Amid the shocking assassination attempt against former President Trump, author Tammy Bruce exposes the sinister role of fear in the Democratic Party's strategy, wielding it as a weapon to control and intimidate.
When a deranged gunman targeted former President Trump at his rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, many saw it as the inevitable outcome of a dangerous political climate orchestrated by the left. As outlined in Tammy Bruce's new book, "Fear Itself," the weaponization of fear, threats, and intimidation is not a mere coincidence; it is a deliberate tactic aimed at controlling society.
The constant demonization and apocalyptic rhetoric from legacy media and Democratic leaders, including President Biden, has created a toxic environment where Trump has been branded as a threat to democracy, a combination of Hitler and Mussolini. This relentless barrage of fear-mongering culminated in the assassination attempt, a grim testament to the corrosive effects of such rhetoric.

Despite Biden's acknowledgment of his "bull's-eye" comment about Trump as a "mistake," the Democratic Party has shown no signs of abandoning their fear-based strategy. Just days after the assassination attempt, Biden mockingly suggested that Trump walk barefoot in Las Vegas' extreme heat, fueling further division.
The use of fear as a campaign and governance strategy has proven effective, with the left exploiting it to frighten people into surrendering their power. This tactic is not new, having been employed throughout history to suppress political and social participation.

From painting Trump as a Russian stooge in 2016 to recycling claims of Russian interference in 2024, the Democratic Party has relentlessly stoked fears about foreign threats. They have also exploited environmental concerns, suggesting that human existence is a threat to the planet, further eroding self-esteem and making individuals more susceptible to fear-based messages.
By equating Trump with Hitler, Democrats have tapped into one of history's most feared and reviled figures, hoping to instill a sense of imminent danger and justify their calls for action.

The left's fear-mongering agenda seeks to intimidate and silence those who challenge their authority. They demand conformity in language and thought, threatening to silence dissent through fear and violence.
The constant bombardment of negative news and threats erodes individuals' courage, making them less likely to question or confront those in power. The left anticipates that by keeping citizens in a state of fear, they can suppress resistance and implement their radical agenda.

Bruce emphasizes that while fear is a natural warning, weaponizing it is an unnatural construct designed to suppress inquiry and push individuals towards violence. As fear takes hold, individuals tend to retreat from public life and lose their sense of responsibility for their country.
This is a critical time in history, a time to stand against the forces of fear and loathing. By understanding the manipulative tactics employed by the left and recognizing that fear is not inevitable, we can reclaim our courage and fight for the values that make our nation great.
