Remember when political debate didn’t immediately devolve into accusations of fascism? It feels like a lifetime ago. Back then, Americans could argue passionately over the direction of the country, yet still recognize their opponents as fellow citizens. That foundational trust has been dynamited, replaced by a political vocabulary that aims not to win arguments, but to obliterate the opposition entirely.
This crusade, broadcast 24/7 from the ivory towers of the mainstream media, has serious consequences. When political leaders and their media allies constantly paint conservatives as existential threats to democracy, they aren’t just engaging in hyperbole. They are lighting the fuse on the most unstable members of their base, giving them a green light to believe any action is justified. And we just saw the result.
From ‘The Daily Caller’:
The man reportedly believed President Donald Trump‘s reelection would cause a “fascist takeover” of the U.S., according to the outlet. U.S. Marshals also discovered that Demarco was writing a “manifesto,” including notes on how to dispose of a body and the location of a “weapons stash.”
A 26-year-old Maryland man, Colin Demarco, now faces attempted murder charges for an alleged plot to kill Office of Management and Budget Director Russ Vought. We are forced to be shocked, but we cannot pretend to be surprised. Frankly, we’ve all been waiting for the other shoe to drop. And this time, it crashed right through a patriot’s front door.
The Media’s Fingerprints
So, where does a young man get the idea that a duly elected administration, led by a president who secured a historic peace deal in the Middle East, is a fascist regime? He doesn’t cook this stuff up in his basement. He mainlines it directly from the talking heads on CNN and MSNBC who have screamed “fascism” until they are blue in the face.
DeMarco’s alleged motive wasn’t some generic anti-Trump rage. He specifically told investigators he wanted to confront Vought over “Project 2025,” the commonsense plan for making the federal government work for the American people. The very same policy agenda the media has smeared as a dictatorial power grab is now cited as a justification for attempted murder. The line between their rhetoric and this man’s alleged crime isn’t just blurry—it’s a straight shot.
An Assault on the People’s Will
This plot was far more than a personal vendetta; it was an attack on every single American who voted in 2024. As OMB Director, Russ Vought is the engine of President Trump’s America First agenda, charged with executing the will of the people. Targeting him is a violent, desperate attempt to achieve through terror what the Left could not accomplish at the ballot box. It’s a political tantrum with a weapons stash.
And the radicalism ran all the way to the top. Investigators found messages on DeMarco’s Discord account where he discussed killing President Donald Trump himself. This wasn’t just about stopping a policy; it was a fantasy about decapitating a movement. This is the predictable outcome when civil debate is replaced with the language of holy war.
No Sanctuary From the Mob
The most chilling part of this is how cold and personal it was. DeMarco didn’t protest at a federal building. He showed up at Russ Vought’s family home in Northern Virginia. Ring camera footage allegedly shows him prowling the property in a mask and gloves, casing the joint like a predator.
This is not the action of a political activist; it is the tactic of a terrorist. Full stop. It’s a clear message of intimidation aimed not just at a public servant, but at his family. It signals that in the Left’s crusade for power, there is no longer a line between the public square and the private home. There is no sanctuary.
Let’s be crystal clear: this foiled plot wasn’t a fluke. It is a preview of what’s to come if this dangerous rhetoric isn’t confronted and defeated. We thank the law enforcement officials who stopped this would-be killer. But it’s long past time we hold the people who loaded the ideological gun accountable.
Key Takeaways
- The Left’s constant “fascist” rhetoric is directly radicalizing individuals to commit violence.
- This was an attack on a Trump official meant to sabotage the America First agenda.
- Political violence has now crossed the line, targeting a public servant at his family’s home.
- This plot is a stark warning about the real-world consequences of irresponsible media language.
