The chronicle does its course, judicial and journalistic investigations as well. Soon and over time we will know details about trying to kill Donald Trump at the White House correspondent dinner in Washington.
The attacker, Cole Tomas Allen, 31 years old, Californian, defined by his sister a progressive extremist on very radical positions, is already struggling with American justice. It strikes the oxymoron with which it has been defined, a kind murderer, as if giving death could be combined with a category of the soul that is the exact opposite, that is, that respects life with sensitivity.
But let’s go further. Ours is a reflection on hatred in politics. Better about hate in public speech. Already for the Kirk murder, the right-wing influencer killed at gunshots during a university debate, we said about the paradox of the word. At its highest level when it triggers the heart of dialectics, at its most dangerous level when it becomes the symbolic part of an action.
The old Mafia chroniclers told me that Cosa Nostra, at the height of power, killed first in the image that in the body. But let us return to the homeland of democracy, America, where the first modern Constitution was born, the first in which the golden rules of western freedom are crystallized.
America, also home to great cultural and political revolutions. A country, however, large, complex, federal and therefore composed of many anthropologies. The country of the great journalism of inquiry, the light that consumes the shadow, which reduces the occult. Yet the country of mysteries, true or presumed plots.
How many bets have I made of my Top Secret about Kennedy’s death in Dallas, how many theories, how many versions? Even for the shootings of Washington dinner someone plays on the internal plot, we say self-managed, but in these cases it takes real evidence not to end up in the intellectual circuit of an invented reality. Not to fall into the ridiculous or lack of credibility.
In real reality, instead, they spread the controversy over the Secret Service, those that once would have been the emperor’s pretorians. They saved the president, but they allowed those who wanted to kill to get too close, too many controls. But I would also leave this chapter to the record, perhaps political, security laws and norms.
The beginning point remains: hate. He will destroy the opponent, who does not think of it as you. Cancel cultures, literally. And to think that this is a more home phenomenon in the world of star democrats and stripes than in the overall grammatical-political attitude of Trump.
That has already escaped, I remember, to an attack in 2024 in Pennsylvania during the election campaign. There the bullet washed the ear and also there a great gardener like Don Winslow spoke of tomato instead of blood, as a director of the likes of Kubrick so many years ago for the landing (in that false theory) on the Moon.
Instead, I think that Trump, like all politicians who have a great charisma (has won twice the presidential ones), affects the public strongly but that it is clearly, divisive with those who do not agree with him. This is also a freedom and obviously stimulates the freedom to criticize it. But not to put him down physically.
That is no longer freedom, it is the public debate that becomes violence. Or I hate it. Lone Wolf or Wolf in Branch doesn’t matter. It is from hatred that we must defend ourselves. Solidarity President.
