The Trump Gunman Fired the Rifle, the Left Loaded the Gun

 Jim Thompson – RedState

"Then J6 happened. Although the mob was removed from the Capitol with the vote to confirm completed within hours, those few hours of mayhem convinced a vast cohort of the crazy left that “democracy had been on the brink.” Transfer of power and democracy were never in danger, but the cult of the deranged had formed."

"Before the ink was dry on the gunman’s fingerprint sheet, the elected Sheriff of Pima County, Clarence Dupink, passionately proclaimed that “political vitriol” was “absolutely to blame” for the shooting. By early afternoon, Jared Loughner had been identified as the shooter – and identified as white and male. These two latter facts apparently were enough to get the yellow journalism machine in full throttle as Loughner was instantly labeled a neo-Nazi and white supremacist. Then Loughner was a Tea Party guy, an ultra “right” guy, a veteran. None of it was true.   

"The “person of interest” the media was hunting was a cab driver, and Giffords wasn’t dead – Facts were intruding on the myth, but true believers were too red-faced with hate to bother with facts. Yellow journalists went into overdrive.  

"By late afternoon of the shooting, the kooks on MSNBC were exploding with insults – all aimed at the right. The HuffPo and the DailyKosers were ranting about violence and, at the same time wishing death to conservatives. Twitter lit up like Times Square on New Year’s Eve. The theme was the same: The shooter, they wailed, was provoked by the “right.” Sarah Palin and her “target map” showing congressional districts Republicans wanted to flip. They wailed that Palin had incited the killer. Broadcast media was soon showing the soon-to-be-famous Palin “target map” as Exhibit A. Giffords' district was on that map, so, ipso facto, Palin had put the gun in the assassin's hand.  

"They concluded Palin’s rhetoric generally and her target map specifically caused Loughner to turn to mass murder. By nightfall, the torches were lit, and the pitchforks were out. The mob was collectively screaming for blood; the mob wanted Palin’s head on a pike. By the next day, facts had gotten in the way. 

"Loughner wasn’t a white supremacist. He wasn’t a foot soldier in a conspiracy; he wasn’t a “right-wing kook”; he wasn’t a vet. He was simply – a kook. Loughner was described by acquaintances as strikingly anti-social. He was often seen talking to himself, and when he spoke to others, he made little sense. He didn’t watch TV and didn’t listen to talk radio. The types of books he favored were written by Adolf Hitler and Karl Marx. He wasn’t part of the “Tea Party” or any party or group for that matter.  Loughner was a drifter, a loser, a nihilist, and crazy person.  

"No one needed a degree in psychology to determine that Loughner wasn’t a political assassin — he was just nutty as a fruitcake. Loughner attended Giffords events three years before his rampage and apparently didn’t get the attention from Giffords he thought he deserved and started a slow boil. He held a personal grudge, and on January 8, 2011, he acted on it. This rebuff occurred three years before he pulled a gun and shot 19 people. It predated Palin and her target map. It predated Arizona’s SB 1070 and predated Obama. This information, coupled with his disinterest in TV, cable news, or talk radio (and adding his mental illness to the mix) would lead anyone with the IQ of a gnat to the conclusion that Loughner’s rampage had no link to political rhetoric, political imagery or current events.

Kamala Harris calls Trump a politician who ‘incites hate.’ - The New York Times (nytimes.com)   . . ."“Someone who vilifies immigrants, who promotes xenophobia, who stokes hate and who incites fear should never again have the chance to stand behind a microphone,” Ms. Harris said. “And never again have the chance to stand behind the seal of the president of the United States of America.”

"During the pandemic, Mr. Trump often referred to Covid-19 as the “China virus” or the “Kung Flu,” angering Asian Americans who said he was being racist.

"The Biden campaign has been battling to turn the nation’s attention back toward Mr. Trump after the president’s poor debate performance caused panic among some Democrats who worry he is too old to win re-election. Polls show that a majority of Democratic voters now want Mr. Biden to drop out of the race." . . .

Comperatore was an avid supporter of Trump and excited to be at Trump's rally Saturday in Butler, Shapiro said. He was there with his wife and two daughters and dove over them to protect them when gunshots were heard in the crowd.

"Corey died a hero," Shapiro said.

"Shapiro described Comperatore as a "girl dad" who went to church every Sunday and loved his family and community." . . .

Rantz: After failed Donald Trump assassination attempt, will you stop claiming he’s Hitler?

 Trump assassination attempt after gross 'democracy in peril' claims

Fearmongering and demonizing opponents might win elections, or even given MSNBC some ratings, but it comes at the cost of social cohesion and public safety.

"The attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump is a chilling reminder of how far political rhetoric has strayed from civility and reason. Even before we get the details about who is behind the attempted assassination, we can’t be shocked that it’s gotten to this point given what Trump has endured.

"For years, Democrat opponents of Trump have resorted to extreme language, labeling him as “Hitler”, “a fascist,” or an “existential threat to democracy.” Democrats claim women will live as if they’re in “A Handmaid’s Tale” under Trump. Others scream that Trump in office endangers us all — that he will become a tyrant and we’ll never have elections again.

"Such hyperbolic accusations have always been unproductive. Now, Trump is lucky to have lived through the consequences of the dangerously inflammatory language from too many. As he’s on a campaign trajectory to be elected president, it’s worth asking those responsible for the nastiest claims about Trump: is this worth the demonizing?

"More from Jason Rantz: Pramila Jayapal’s dangerous rhetoric could incite violence 

Will those who demonize Donald Trump change their tune after an assassination attempt?

"After the attempted assassination, Democrats that have engaged in the very hyperbolic language demonizing Trump put out statements condemning political violence. But you can’t keep calling someone Hitler or an existential threat to democracy and then just merely say political violence is unacceptable.

"Seattle Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-Seattle) said she is “horrified” by the unacceptable political violence. Yet she’s told her angry, aggressive progressive base to “take to the streets” to “fight tooth and nail” against a Supreme Court she said was a “direct threat to our rights and our democracy.” Similarly, Governor Jay Inslee said political violence is unacceptable (while not mentioning Donald Trump by name), yet just days ago posted on X that Trump is a “threat to the basic functioning of democracy.” . . .

Preparing Trump to be an assassin's victim

 Reasons for assassins to attack Trump

Why Do Liberals Hate Trump So Much? (townhall.com)  "But first. Do they hate him because the average price of a gallon of gas in his administration was far lower than under Biden? Is it because inflation was low (around 2%) and trending downward? Is it that the USA was energy independent and didn’t need to beg our enemies for oil, deplete our strategic oil reserve or sell it to China? Is it because black and Hispanic unemployment was lower than at any time in history? Is it because Trump forced China into a fairer trade agreement, got a strong trade deal with Japan, and a solid peace in the Middle East?

Are these the reasons (more in a subsequent article) that the Left despises Trump so much?

"These reasons may be symptoms, but don’t touch the main issue. If you ask a liberal why they hate DJT so much, they aren’t going to say, “Well, because gas prices and inflation were manageable, minority unemployment was at record low levels, America was energy independent” etc., etc. Those aren’t the answers you are going to receive. More likely, they might mention something about his “mean, hateful tweets” or maybe opposition to their Green God. Mr. Liberal, are you better off now than you were four years ago? “Trump is a Nazi racist!” Are you paying less for gasoline, groceries, and heating oil? “He is an insurrectionist and dictator!” I truly doubt any of them will respond, “I hate Trump because we now have to beg Saudi Arabia and Venezuela for oil.” I’ve just a hunch you’ll get a different reply." . . .

Donald Trump speech shooting: Gunshots heard at president's rally

 Latest news (telegraph.co.uk)

"Donald Trump has been rushed off the stage after gunshots were heard as he addressed a crowd at a rally in Pennsylvania.

"Secret Service agents dashed up to the former president and quickly removed him from the stage in Butler.

"Mr Trump could be seen ducking for cover behind the lectern.

"The former president was then driven quickly from the scene in an armoured vehicle.

"This is a breaking news story – 

TD anxiously awaits hearing from the ladies of "The View", MSNBC, including Joy Behar, and everyone else there including Joe Scarborough. I expect their expressions of regret will be qualified with phrases such as "No matter what we may think of Trump"..."Love him or hate him"... It will be hard not to picture Joe Biden's clenched teeth and narrowed eyes at Trump. I in no way connect Joe Biden with the shooting, but simply the atmosphere and the vibe among the American left. We see the same evil on college campuses directed toward Jews and the same hate in those tearing down Israeli hostage posters. 

One recalls Maxine Waters and her telling people to confront anyone they see in restaurants and stores they are not welcome. Evil is so very accessible to all.  TD

Trump Shot at Pennsylvania Campaign Rally: Live Updates (nymag.com)

The left will blame this on Trump and tell us this won't happen with Biden.

Riley Gaines Swims From Alcatraz to Shore With Vets, Gives Keith Olbermann a New Beatdown on Swimwear

What produces people like Keith Olbermann, Joe Scarborough, Joys Reid and Behar, and the rude, over-talking Wolf Blitzer, to name just a few?  TD

 Jim Thompson – RedState  "Riley Gaines has championed women’s sports and, in the process, she has been vilified and attacked by leftists. Her “crime” being her advocacy for women. Actual women. Women without Adam's Apples. Women competing against other women. Women born women.  

"Because she’s done that and, I think, because she is a Christian who is open about her faith, she’s been attacked. Gaines took a path to advocate for women even when she was competing in college. When she stopped swimming competitively, she continued to use her celebrity to push for fairness in women’s sports. Gaines hosts the "Gaines for Girls" podcast on OutKick,
where she discusses women's sports and advocates for biological women and Title IX.

"On Friday, Riley Gaines made the 1.25-mile swim from Alcatraz to shore and she did it with a bunch of manly men. Gaines described her swim mates on X as a bunch of combat vets and Navy SEALs, no doubt all retired. There is zero chance that active-duty SEALs would be allowed to make the swim with Gaines. Gaines posted a bunch of photos of the fun day with her new buddies." . . . 

Gaines has been in a running, social media battle with one of X’s most absurd personalities, Keth Olbermann. It is not much of a battle - more like a consistent beatdown. Gaines made the swim with real men and challenged Keith to make the swim, just not in a Speedo: . . .

. . ."Olbermann is a pathetic man-child who holds onto his fading relevance, even when it means he gets rhetorically beaten by a women. The former sportscaster and the subject of one of the funniest SNL bits in history won't take Gaines up on the mocking challenge. Olbermann is a consistently angry baby who has targeted Gaines on X, and each time, Olbermann embarrasses himself. With each insult, he ends up getting sent to the corner by Gaines." . . .

Social Media Censorship Is Very Real and Jonathan Turley Has the Receipts

. . ."It's as though some government agents in shiny suits, porkpie hats, and sunglasses were showing up at some of these social media companies and telling them, "Nice little social media site you have there. It would be a shame if anything... happened to it." That's not literally what's happening, of course - but it sure as hell is figuratively what's going on. As evidence, we can note, as Jonathan Turley points out, that Democrats have been opposing any effort to look into these censorship efforts. Remember when Democrats used to claim to be in favor of free speech? No longer, it seems." . . .

While the Press Slobber Over Biden's 'Comeback,' Western Diplomats Are Horrified and Turning to Trump

 Bonchie – RedState

"So is Biden's campaign saved? In the eyes of the press, perhaps, but in the eyes of Western diplomats who choose to still believe their eyes and ears, not so much." 

"If you're a conservative or any style of Republican, you've long known how shameless the mainstream press is. Still, the shamelessness with which the current about-face on Joe Biden's health is occurring is truly next-level. As we'll get to, though, not everyone is buying the "comeback" narrative. 

"It was fun while it lasted, I suppose. For about two weeks, the press came down with a case of honesty and reported on Biden's ailing condition. The leaks came hard and fast, and even some long-time sycophants in the media expressed a realization of reality. 

"That all changed on Thursday after Biden's "big boy" press conference, and it wasn't because the president performed well. On the contrary, he confused Kamala Harris with Donald Trump while rambling aimlessly in the face of an onslaught of softball questions from a curated list of reporters. Things got so bad that Karine Jean-Pierre stood up and tried to end the presser before Biden overrode her and attempted to answer another question." . . .

Another senior European diplomat in D.C. said colleagues have been busy reaching out to those who are likely to join the Trump team for months — setting up meetings, attending the same events, and inviting Trump’s allies to dinner.

Asked if there’s any pressure back home not to do this due to Trump’s polarizing image, one diplomat said: “No. We would be failing our duty if we were not trying to build connections with his people now.”

Dark Angel

"On Wednesday, the SAVE Act, Safeguard American Voter Eligibility, was passed by the House despite that fact that 198 Democrats voted against it. 

"The bill would require proof of citizenship to register to vote; it would prevent illegal residents from voting. 

"The Democrats have long made clear their support of the open border, the unlimited importation of ten to fifteen million migrants, from around 170 countries. 

"They are flooding the country with millions of immigrants, dispersing them throughout the nation, in order to boost their representation in Congress where needed.  While they don't need the migrants to vote to get that benefit, they confidently assume these millions of migrants will vote for Democrats, the party that is transferring billions of dollars of taxpayer money to them; money to feed, shelter, transport and sustain them.

"Of course, they will vote Democrat!  How blatant can they be? 

"Election fraud is their game and they’re good at it.  They’ve been doing it for decades.  They are just getting more brazen.  Refusing to vote for this bill is an overt dismissal of the Constitution and the intentional invalidation of American election integrity. 

"The reason for their 'no' votes?  They claim that no such law is needed because it is already illegal for foreigners to vote in our elections.  Well, of course it is, but it is not at all enforced as the numerous investigations of the 2020 election have proven. 

"So far, at least ten percent of new migrants have already registered to vote.  Probably more, given that they are automatically registered in states with motor-voter laws that allow illegals to get drivers’ licenses.  Some Democrats claim that the bill is effectively a “poll tax.”  They continue to assert that blacks and Hispanics cannot afford or do not know how to obtain legitimate proof of citizenship!  How insulting is that? 

"Extremely insulting and extremely racist but then it has always been that the left is racist.  It was the left that supported slavery and fought to keep it.  It was the left which implemented Jim Crow laws throughout the South.  It was the left which opposed the Civil Rights laws of 1965; they were passed by a Republican majority.  It was Joe Biden who relished humiliating the great Clarence Thomas at his confirmation hearings.  Democrats cannot abide black conservatives.  Joe Biden was among the worst." . . .

Dethroning Biden

 Rajan Laad - American Thinker Called "cognitive decline", but over the years I have seen the trait that could better be called "slow-witted" TD

"The Democrats are once again making a mockery of what should be sacrosanct."

"Joe Biden's cognitive decline has been obvious since he launched his presidential 'run' in 2019. Even a fellow Democrat challenger taunted him over this during a 2020 primary debate.

"But the DNC establishment thought Biden would appear to be an avuncular centrist figure that would appeal to the general public. Hence despite Biden's abysmal beginning in the primaries, his rivals were encouraged to drop out. Biden became the nominee with 2739 delegates.

"This has been a tradition for Democrats. During the 2015 Democrat Primaries, Bernie Sanders, who had more ground support and voter passion, was sidelined in favor of the DNC establishment's choice Hillary Clinton.

"Once he was 'elected', the cognitively impaired Biden was used as a rubber stamp to push their agenda. 

"During his 'Presidency,' Biden's decline was mocked by comedians in Saudi Arabia. However, 'comedians' in New York engaged in PR for Biden.

"The DNC PR agencies that masquerade as the news media followed the diktats. Biden's myriad dementia-driven gaffes were dismissed. 

"Those stating the obvious that Biden is usually non compos mentis were branded as ageists, even though the objection wasn't related to Biden's age, but rather his mental state.

"Democrat social media trolls engaged in blatant fabrication, even comparing Biden to Harrison Ford, since both men were born in the same year. 

"The results of the Biden administration's misgovernance are open borders, out-of-control inflation, rampant crime, targeting of dissenting citizens, identity politics giving preference over merit, and spending on gratuitous foreign wars and items such as the Green New Deal.

"Then it was time for Biden's 'reelection.'

"The Democrats could have tactfully abandoned Biden. They just needed to conduct a fair primary and mandate all candidates to participate in the debates. Biden would have been exposed during the debates and would have forced Biden to quit or would have suffered a routing. " . . .

The Story the Media Missed: What Biden’s Debate Disaster Revealed About the Democrats – PJ Media

. . .Joe Biden is a brand. So is Kamala Harris. All well-known politicians have certain adjectives attached to their names; when you see them, they are what you think about first. And, for better or worse, the Democrats have been “married” to Biden for a very, very long time. He’s been their long-term dance partner for more than a generation.

"And they’re ready to toss Biden into the trash heap.

"Pearl-clutching"

"Here’s the irony: For today’s Democrats, the Biden brand hasn’t undergone a sudden, seismic shift; even before the debate, they already knew he was an elderly, gaffe-prone octogenarian. The Biden brand shift, such as it was, has been granular: He went from “older” to “old”; from “battle-hardened” to “battle-weary”; from “occasionally forgetful” to “please get Grandpappy in bed by 8 p.m.”

"But these differences are just a matter of degrees. There hasn’t been a wholesale change in Biden’s brand ID. He’s basically the same guy he was one month ago – or one year ago – or even two years ago. And the Democrats know this! So do the American people.

"Yet the Democrats’ reaction to Biden is beyond mere pearl-clutching. At this point, it’s pathologically hysterical." . . .

Army Briefing Lists Pro-Life Groups as Terrorist Organizations

Because you will get no more Pro Life than me. I believe in zero exceptions, and you’ll find me praising the overturning of Roe and Dobbs all over my feed.

"While Ft. Liberty is a much bigger installation, and under a different command, I call tell you that this is not what is being sent out to the Army enterprise wide.

"However, with that said, in 2023, during our annual symposium, there was a lot of focus on right-wing groups. This year, the focus was on cyber and infrastructure issues.

After conducting a commander’s inquiry, we determined that the slides presented on social media were not vetted by the appropriate approval authorities, and do not reflect the views of the XVIII Airborne Corps and Fort Liberty, the U.S. Army or the Department of Defense.

Enough of the ‘Trump-Proofing’ NATO Talk

  American Greatness (amgreatness.com)  "Donald Trump will have a lot of work to do to reestablish American leadership and responsible security alliances if he wins the 2024 election."

The talk of “Trump-proofing” NATO at the Washington summit also represents NATO members trying to politicize the alliance to tie the hands of a potential U.S. president they dislike.  

"Two issues dominated this week’s NATO summit in Washington, hosted by President Biden: the war in Ukraine and Donald Trump’s likely reelection. NATO members badly misplayed both issues.

"The summit went off course at the start when President Biden insisted in his opening address that Ukraine can “prevail” in the war with Russia if it receives the arms it needs. Biden claimed Ukraine “can and will stop Putin.” The president announced that the U.S. would send Ukraine five new strategic air defense systems and F-16 fighters. Biden first made this promise in May 2023, but the jets never arrived.

"In his speech, Biden was again in denial about the state of the war. Ukraine had a chance to push back Russian troops and recover its territory in the spring and summer of 2022. However, the United States and other NATO members limited their military aid to Ukraine in 2022 out of fear of escalating the conflict. As a result, Ukraine’s arsenal ran low by October 2022, which gave Russian forces a chance to regroup and heavily fortify their lines. Ukraine never regained a strategic advantage in the war, and the conflict became a stalemate by late 2022.

"As a result, many experts on the right and left assessed, starting in 2023, that the conflict had become a long-term war of attrition that Ukraine would eventually lose at great cost. Council on Foreign Relations President Richard Haass and Georgetown University Professor Charles Kupchan argued in an April 2023 Foreign Affairs article that the West needed a new strategy to get from the battlefield to the negotiating table in the Ukraine War because “the most likely outcome of the conflict is not a complete Ukrainian victory but a bloody stalemate.” Their recommendation was for the Biden administration to prioritize ending the Ukraine war by pressing for a cease-fire and peace talks

"Donald Trump has long realized this and has pledged to end the war in 24 hours if he’s elected president again. With the growing chance that Trump will win the 2024 election, Russian and Ukrainian leaders are taking Trump’s promise seriously." . . .

Why Gavin Newsom Must Never Become U.S. President

  American Greatness (amgreatness.com)

Newsom is unqualified to be president of the United States for the same reasons he is unfit to be governor of California.

"This is what Gavin Newsom offers America. This is the scam—the historic, tragic, malevolent agenda that Newsom and the people he represents have resolved to inflict on the world." 

gavin newsom - Imgflip

"As President Biden’s age threatens to derail his reelection campaign, waiting in the wings and trying not to appear too eager is Gavin Newsom. It’s not easy. Wanting to be president with an intensity that might make Gollum’s lust for the One Ring appear prosaic, California’s governor knows that if Biden drops out, he’s the oddsmakers’ favorite.

"But there is absolutely nothing Gavin Newsom has ever done that qualifies him to be president of the United States. If Newsom becomes the next U.S. president, he will accelerate a process that is already well underway and must be stopped at all costs: turning all of America into California.

"There are glaring examples of California’s over-the-top embrace of progressive extremism. Identity politics. Race and gender “equity.” Decriminalizing crime and hard drugs. A complete failure to manage the state’s homeless, much less help them. An obsession with climate change that has inspired laws that reach into virtually every facet of life. Shortages of energy, water, and housing. And prices for goods and services so punitive that millions have fled.

"Under Gavin Newsom’s watch, the state is devolving into feudalism: a massive underclass that can’t survive without government assistance, supervised by an elite minority that will retain political power by continuing to dole out that assistance. The formula is simple: make life progressively more difficult for ordinary Californians, tell them their travails are the result of bigotry and climate change, then secure their votes by offering them more government benefits.

"And herein lies Newsom’s biggest crime, one shared by the progressive elites that run California and intend to take over the world. It is the biggest lie of modern progressivism—the corrupt foundation of their power. Newsom and his ilk are telling California’s middle class that what they have attained is socially unjust and ecologically unsustainable. They tell us that the ideals of equity and environmentalism compel us to live in high-density, low-impact housing, utilize shared transportation, and limit our consumption of anything that elevates our “carbon footprint.” And they are telling us that our taxes must be utilized to offer these same limited amenities to anyone who is “underserved,” “historically disadvantaged,” “unhoused,” or in any way a victim of “systemic discrimination.”

"All of these assertions are monstrous lies. California is unaffordable because of decades of political choices, escalating every year, that have created high prices for everything. And more to the point, the elites that Newsom is part of and represents are themselves profiting from all of these policies that have condemned most Californians to lives of constant work and constant economic struggle. Which is to say that Newsom’s lies about the “climate crisis” and the alleged pervasive ongoing scourge of bigotry are not even noble lies in the service of achieving a better future for all. They are lies in the service of corruption, a con job designed to further enrich and empower a small elite." . . .

Latest Dem Plot To Take Trump Down Exposed As Just Another Hoax

 Politics Archives - Dr. Rich Swier (drrichswier.com) 

"As President Biden continues to decline in the eyes of voters and the Democratic Party, his campaign’s desperation to handcuff his opponent, former President Donald Trump, rises exponentially.

"Once again, regime media and Democrats have their facts wrong and are pushing another hoax in hopes it hurts Trump’s presidential campaign.

"Whether through lawfare or dirty political tactics, Democrats forgo their plans to “Save Democracy” in favor of outright lies in a single pursuit — holding on to power. During the 2016 election and throughout Trump’s first term, they used the claim that he colluded with Russia to “steal” the presidency. Now, they say he is behind The Heritage Foundation, along with more than 110 conservative groups, attempting to “terminate the Constitution” through Project 2025’s Mandate for Leadership.

"Americans are being sold a false bill of goods regarding Project 2025 and the mandate for the next conservative president. Nowhere in the report does it advocate for a Trump presidency, only that the next conservative president, which will undoubtedly be a Republican because there is no chance a Democrat would heed the call, should advocate for these policy and personnel recommendations put forward.

Lies And Truths About Project 2025

"Abortion"

"The left’s main campaign talking point is so-called women’s reproductive rights. They plan to paint Trump and conservatives as militantly against abortion and contraceptives. To do this, they claim that Project 2025 calls for a complete ban on abortion and contraceptives without exceptions. The truth is that the report does not mention banning or restricting contraception anywhere in the literature. As far as abortion, it simply states that the conservative president should comply with laws that prevent the federal government from funding it.

"Conservatives are unabashedly pro-life, as they should be. However, with the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe V. Wade and return it to the states to determine its legality, this policy is up to each state and cannot be determined at the Executive level.

"Tax Breaks"

"Democrats love to pretend to be the party of the working class. However, after seeing the middle-class shrink and the greatest transfer of wealth to the top 1% under 8-years of former President Obama and four years of Biden’s presidency, it’s hard to continue to hold that moniker. To deflect their disastrous economic policies onto Trump, they claim that Project 2025 is pushing its own economic plan that would give higher taxes for the working class while handing out additional tax breaks for corporations and the 1%." . . .
