Democrats waging their war against President Donald Trump in fear of his possible return to the White House repeatedly have accused him of trying to destroy democracy, of doing violence to the nation.

Joe Biden, in fact, just days ago accused Trump and his supporters of embracing “political violence” and then laughing about it.

But a report from the the Washington Times reveals that political violence infecting America now is bipartisan.

“It’s not all about Trump. There are forces on the left that are just as intemperate as Trump,” charged Benjamin Ginsberg, of Johns Hopkins University, who researches political violence.

“Trump bears some of the blame, but there are plenty of Democratic politicians and operatives who are intemperate and prone to violence,” he said.

He cited Rep. Maxine Waters, a Democrat from California who holds a fierce and unrelenting intolerance for President Trump, as an example.

“Maxine Waters told Democrats to ‘get in the face’ of Republicans. It is a prelude to shooting at them,” he warned, in the report.

Lately, there have been multiple reports of “swatting,” in which someone calls police with a fake report that there is a crime being committed at a specific location, in several cases the home of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Georgia Republican.

The potential for deadly results is huge, as the police departments are told lies that often trigger an armed SWAT team response.

Then in the past few days, leftists also have been targeted, including Tanya Chutkan, a judge who publicly berated President Trump and complained he was not in jail, but now is hearing one of the Democrats’ lawfare cases against him.

The Times reported, too, a New Hampshire man recently was accused of threatening the lives of Vivek Ramaswamy and Chris Christie, who both are seeking the GOP presidential nomination.

The suspect, Tyler Anderson, allegedly said he would kill Christie in a “mass shooting” at a campaign event, then stated plans to “disembowel” Ramaswamy, the report said.

Other cases cited include a man threatening Rep. Eric Swalwell, the California Democrat who helped carry out two failed impeach-and-remove schemes against Trump, and a man who threatened Biden’s life.

“The threats are being directed at both parties,” Kathleen Keneally, head of threat analysis and prevention at the Institute for Strategic Dialogue, told the Times. “This is truly becoming a nonpartisan issue regardless of where you sit on the political aisle. If you are a public official, you are going to be a target.”

Further, the Times noted a “startling” poll from just weeks ago revealing a fourth of the nation believes “political violence may be justified to ‘save’ the country.”

The poll from the Public Religion Research Institute found that 23% of Americans say “because things have gotten so far off track, true American patriots may have to resort to violence in order to save our country.”

Ginsberg warned, “It won’t just be Republicans in 2024. Plenty of Democrats will get hysterical over the idea of a Trump victory, and some are prepared to engage in violence.”

And, of course, some of Trump’s supporters rioted and vandalized the Capitol on January 6, 2021.

Violence, in fact, already has been documented, with “a Florida man’s fatal stabbing of his pro-Trump boss, a North Dakota man running over a teenager for allegedly belonging to a ‘Republican extremist group,’ and an Ohio man’s killing of his neighbor because he ‘thought he was a Democrat,’ according to the victim’s widow,” the report said.

While Trump repeatedly has called out Biden for incompetence, and worse, it’s Biden who has used the bully pulpit of the White House to label conservative Americans as domestic terrorists. Just days ago, he lashed out as Trump for being “despicable” and a threat.

IMPORTANT NOTE TO WND READERS: America – long the freest, most prosperous, powerful, altruistic and Christian nation on earth – is on the brink of destruction. Every decent and aware American adult knows this. The evidence is everywhere.

Democrat politicians today overwhelmingly favor late-term abortion up to the very moment of birth – formerly known as “infanticide.” They encourage children too young to drive or vote to have their breasts and/or sex organs amputated in pursuit of a “gender transition” that is both delusional and impossible, and which leads to staggering rates of depression and suicide. They have not just allowed, but ENGINEERED, a full-scale foreign invasion of America across her southern border.

Their standard bearer, President Joe Biden – a senile, pathologically dishonest and epically corrupt career political hack – is destroying America’s economy, energy sector, military, law enforcement, election integrity, national security, Constitution and overall national wellbeing as rapidly as possible. At the same time, Team Biden demonizes and, increasingly, IMPRISONS critics as “violent extremists,” “domestic terrorists,” “white supremacists” and “insurrectionists.” Indeed, they’re currently engaged in an obviously corrupt multi-front legal war against Biden’s chief political rival, Donald J. Trump, in an attempt to send the 45th president of the United States to prison for the rest of his life.

None of this constitutes “politics” in any conventional or traditional American sense. Rather, it is all darkly spiritual. The greatest nation on earth is in the throes of a full-blown spiritual war between good and evil.

The big question, then, is WHAT CAN BE DONE TO SAVE AMERICA? Fortunately, real answers and uncommon wisdom are showcased in the December issue of WND’s critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, “CAN AMERICA BE SAVED? The world’s freest, most Christian nation is on the brink of destruction.”

In this very special issue, readers will experience the best and deepest thoughts and strategies on how to restore America to her former goodness and greatness, from some of the nation’s most respected analysts – everyone from Tucker Carlson to Dennis Prager to Victor Davis Hanson to Newt Gingrich and many more.
