In yet another chapter of the bizarre saga surrounding those who resort to extreme measures in the political arena, the name Ryan Wesley Routh has emerged once again, this time as a self-proclaimed crusader for “freedom” from the confines of a jail cell. Routh, the second suspect to attempt to take out Donald Trump, has taken pen to paper from behind bars, echoing the tired, predictable talking points of the left. Apparently, Routh believes that Trump is nothing short of a dictator, showcasing a remarkable ability to fall for Democratic rhetoric faster than a toddler at a candy store.
Routh’s four-page missive sent to various media outlets, including Politico, reveals a mindset more attuned to the slogans of anti-Trump activists than grounded in reality. He outlines a preposterous plan to limit presidential powers before Trump could officially take office if he were to win the upcoming election. The so-called logic in Routh’s ramblings suggests that in order to “protect democracy,” military powers should be yanked from the president and handed over to Congress. It’s curious how someone plotting serious violence equates military oversight with saving democracy. Perhaps clarity is not a strong suit for those who fantasize about assassination.
Trump himself has weighed in on this alarming situation, pointing out that Routh’s actions were a direct result of the incendiary language spewed by those on the left. It seems Routh drank the Kool-Aid brewed in the Democratic kitchen, believing that a Trump victory would usher in an authoritarian regime straight out of a dystopian novel. The irony here is palpable: his attack on Trump is painted as a noble cause when in reality, it only further exposes the lengths to which some individuals will go when being fed a steady diet of fear and hatred.
Meanwhile, Joe Biden, during his dwindling campaign days, doubled down on accusing Trump of being a danger to democracy. Biden’s attempts to pin the blame for violent acts on Trump while ignoring the harsh reality of radical leftist behavior has become a sad but expected trend in Democratic circles. It’s not hard to connect the dots and see how a lack of personal accountability can lead to dangerous convictions, yet the left persists in diminishing personal responsibility. Routh’s jailhouse letters were laced with this same brand of nonsensical tirades supporting the so-called “fight for democracy.” It’s as if he’s auditioning for a role in a buddy cop movie with Biden and Kamala Harris, who have both characterized Trump as the embodiment of tyranny.
Alleged would-be Trump assassin Ryan Routh sent Politico a letter parroting MSM TDS talking points. Routh calls Trump a "dictator" and says he was willing to "die for freedom and democracy." Dems frequently frame Trump as a "threat to democracy."https://t.co/LjPReNludT

Routh has made headlines not just for his assassination attempts but for the absurdity of his worldview. He signed off letters with the title “Trump Alleged Shooter,” indicating a disturbing flair for theatricality. It’s hard to imagine someone so desperate for attention wrapped in the victim narrative while propagating violence—yet this fits the mold of the left’s current cultural climate. The Democrats have mastered the art of the spin, turning a madman’s obsession into an ideological battle cry while deflecting from their own responsibility in encouraging such extremist behaviors.
Unbelievably, Routh’s correspondence also highlights an unhealthy admiration for left-leaning media figures, showcasing how far the bubble of liberal thought extends. If there’s any lesson to be learned from this deranged scenario, it’s that a steady diet of media sensationalism and political hyperbole can lead to grave consequences. Routh’s glaring intent to recruit others for his murderous mission hints at a broader societal issue: one fueled by partisan incitement rather than personal reflection or rational discourse. This incident goes beyond just a political statement; it’s a warning of the dangers lurking in political radicalism, making it the perfect fodder for mocking the left’s dramatics and clarion calls for “democracy.”
