Academic Poll Finds More Than 70% of ‘Hard-Line Lefties’ Wish Trump Assassination Attempt Succeeded
“Identity politics has moralized the outlook of the Left, painting conservatives as evil rather than wrong”
This is not surprising at all. We have seen people on the left admit it openly.
The College Fix reports:
Over 70 percent of ‘hard-line lefties’ wanted Trump assassin to succeed: professor’s poll
A professor of politics at the University of Buckingham conducted a poll shortly after the assassination attempt on Donald Trump … and found that over a staggering 70 percent of “hard-line lefties” wished the shooter had succeeded.
The Daily Mail reports that while one-third of Democratic voters who concurred with the statement “white Republicans are racist” said they “slightly agreed” that they wanted Trump dead, almost three-fourths “strongly agreed.”
Eric Kaufmann, director of the Centre for Heterodox Social Science, conducted the “snap” poll on July 18 and said the results “could be explained by ‘woke moral absolutism.’”
“Identity politics has moralized the outlook of the Left, painting conservatives as evil rather than wrong,” Kaufmann said, adding that the Left “is more prejudiced against the Right than vice versa.”
Kaufmann further claimed the poll results show a “growing partisan asymmetry” in the U.S. where progressives “are more likely to unfriend, refuse to date or otherwise discriminate against conservatives than the other way round.”
This highlights an attitude among lefties that conservatives are ‘evil rather than wrong,’ [Kaufmann] says.
As a result, they use ‘catastrophizing language around ‘white supremacy’, ‘fascism’ and ‘danger’,’ he says.
‘Given our new politics of identitarian sacredness and moral absolutism, we should not be surprised to see a rise in political extremism,’ he warns.
As reported by The College Fix, several academics expressed displeasure that the assassin missed the former president on July 13. Rutgers University’s Tracy Budd had said “Let’s hope today’s events inspire others” and “They shot his wig. Sad.”
Bellarmine University English professor John James posted on Instagram “If you’re gonna shoot, man, don’t miss,” while the University of British Columbia’s Karen Pinder wrote “Damn, so close. Too bad.”

The real fascists are on the left.
Would I cry if someone took out, say, Schumer? Not me.
AOC or Kamala? I’d feel a bit sad, because I feel in my heart of hearts they’re more stupid than evil.
FJB? Not even relevant, since a competent CNC operator could turn out as many copies of Charlie McCarthy as needed in about four hours each.
the other 30% of dems wished he had suffered longer
The first quote is from Buckigham University in England. Actually, I don’t care what the English think. Don’t they have enough problems of their own over there? Just saw as BBC News headline that the new government will be ending winter fuel supplements to pensioners. They need the money for immigrants, the Ukraine, and a 22% raise to young doctors in the NHS. Priorities!
The other 30% won’t admit it out loud.
This is but one reason why Trump’s “unity” message is wasted in the America of today.
Of course, such evil “snarkiness” is seen everywhere nowadays largely due to Americans’ addictions to such sewers as Twitter/X and the rest of “[anti] social media.”
It is amazing the power of these addictions in that the tech oligarchs (yes, including serial bastardizer and wholly qimmoral Musk) are our actual (they have even said so) mortal enemies but most “patriots” just cannot stop actively and monetarily supporting them by constantly using their addictive platforms and products.
