Prophetic. European elites are frozen in time to 1939. Theo Van Gogh was killed two years after Pim. 20 years later, the continent and all of the west stands at a precipice.

THE GUNMAN AND THE WOULD-BE DICTATOR

By David Frum | The Atlantic

"Fascism feasts on violence. ..."

"Now the bloodshed that Trump has done so much to incite against others has touched him as well. ..."

"Assassinations, lynchings, riots, and pogroms have stained every page of American political history. ..."

"Pogroms"?

.

David Frum says: It was a tragedy blah blah blah yadda yadda yadda; but, you and I know, Trump deserved to be shot at. Frum calls Trump "an enemy of law and democracy" who wants to turn the USA into a "dictatorship," submit to Russia's demands, and put large numbers of people in orison camps.

Frum says that Trump is "a subverter of American institutions, and the very opposite of everything decent and patriotic in American life." The gist of the essay: Trump is responsible for the shooting, through some malevolent combination of supposedly treasonous beliefs (of Trump) and supposed promotion of violence (by Trump).

This Frum essay was published less than 18 hours after the shooting.
