The unhinged young man who tried to take Donald Trump’s life at a recent campaign rally may well have been acting on his own.

But, even if that proves the case, he likely thought his actions were an effort to “save our democracy.”

How could he not, after the Democrat-Media Complex has, for the past several years, incessantly stated that Trump must be stopped -- by any means necessary — to “save our democracy”?

Trump has countless times been referred to as “Hitler,” a villain, an extremist, and, of course, “a threat to democracy. Our democracy.

Meaning, the Democrats’ democracy, as they believe is rightfully theirs.

But neither Democrats nor the media will be held accountable for their words and actions, because, well, they never are. There exists not only a two-tiered justice system in this country, but a two-tiered system of blame, accountability and condemnation. It is revolting.

This unequal treatment is unlikely to ever be “fundamentally transformed,” because we tolerate it. We tolerate a lot of things.

To wit:

Yes, you could substitute “And too few cared” for “And no one cared” in this post to be more precise, but the point remains the same. Unless enough of us rise up and say, “We’re just as mad as hell … and we’re not going to take it anymore!” … we will have to keep taking it. Forever.

Somewhere, the Founders weep.
