Manufactured Hatred the Left Wants You to Believe Exists
The assassination attempt on President Trump over the weekend certainly took a great deal of attention away from one of the most fascinating stories of the year – the indictment of the Southern Poverty Law Center. The importance of this event cannot be underestimated. The Justice Department indicted the SPLC on 11 counts, including wire fraud, bank fraud, false statements, and conspiracy to commit money laundering. They stand accused of monetizing the very hate groups they claim to stand against, including the KKK.
Now why would a group that claims they stand against hate fund the very groups they claim to stand against? Simple. They and others on the left know that racism is on the decline in this country. So, they had to manufacture it. The left likes to spout that white supremacy is the biggest problem out there, when in truth, it barely exists anymore. Conservatives are not hateful people, and that doesn’t work for their business. They can’t profit when there is no hate. They needed to justify their existence. They needed to keep the money flowing in. The Klan was practically gone; they couldn’t have that. Now that this spectacle has been made public, the leftists who have donated to the SPLC now have to come to terms with the fact that their money went to the KKK and other groups the SPLC has labeled as hate groups.
Another Assassination Attempt
Those of us who live on the side of reason, sanity, and non-violence have been saying for months that the language the left uses when talking about our side would lead to tragedy. Their rhetoric when referring to President Trump and other conservatives, all of which are provably false, would lead to their followers acting on that rhetoric. Those slinging that type of speech have shown, despite two prior assassination attempts, that they don’t care and are still going to lie and push that rhetoric. Now it has resulted in a third assassination attempt on the president by a far left individual – a deranged lunatic who absorbs the leftist narrative rather than seeking the truth.
According to the manifesto of the shooter, he was “No longer willing to permit a pedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes.” Absolutely zero of that is true. Leftist politicians and mainstream media have propagated those lies, despite all evidence pointing to the opposite being true.

Trust Trump, Just Not His Endorsements
When it comes to President Trump, he’s absolutely been a net positive for this country. The America First initiatives, closing of the border, deportation of illegal aliens, revitalization of our military (taking the woke out of it and record recruiting), and protection of the homeland from our enemies have all been spot on. However, the man isn’t perfect, and unlike the left, who have no diversity of thought (some might call that a cult), we here on the right know how to call a spade a spade. It isn’t unhealthy to have debate within our own party, quite the opposite in fact. One area in which the president has left something to be desired is in his endorsements.
Yesterday, President Trump wrote the following on Truth Social: “Senator Lindsey Graham is doing a fantastic job. He is running against a LUNATIC named Mark Lynch, who supports perhaps the worst Congressman in the history of our country, Thomas Massie, of the great commonwealth of Kentucky. I don’t have to go into great detail, but needless to say, Mark Lynch would be a DISASTER for the Republican Party, and Lindsey Graham just, GETS THE JOB DONE. VOTE FOR LINDSEY ALL THE WAY. MAGA! President DONALD J. TRUMP”
So much to dissect there. First of all, President Trump does not know Mark Lynch. They never met. Mark Lynch is a principled conservative, a family man, a man of God, and the exact right fit for the people of South Carolina, whose citizens (not necessarily their representation) are quite conservative. Lindsey Graham can make none of those same claims. His conservative voting record is 57% lifetime. Barely over the line from being a Democrat. He supports war, amnesty, USAID, and stabs Trump in the back regularly. (For more on this, see “Fake Republicans and Their Support of Lindsey Graham” from 4/8/26.) Lindsey Graham has no family. He is not a man of God by any means. Recently, he took a trip to Disney World, where he was seen holding a magic wand. Real beta stuff. Many are wondering if he has the dress to match the wand. Does he have nothing better to do during a government shutdown?
Fake Republicans and Their Support of Lindsey Graham
The South Carolina so-called “Republican” shills keep outing themselves. These establishment types, who do not care about regular people, think that if they glom on to politicians, they hold some kind of moral high ground. It is quite the opposite. Even worse, they talk down to others, especially those who call them out for what they are. They know politicians, so they know more than you. “I know people, you don’t.” They are the ones with an ear to the inside, you are not. That type of attitude is rampant among these people, and it makes grass roots patriots like myself sick.
Putting this into context, I have been very vocal in my aversion to Lindsey Graham and my desire to see him thrown out of the Senate, a desire shared by an increasingly larger number of South Carolinians. In 2023, while President Trump was on the campaign trail in Pickens County, Lindsey was booed off the stage. He spoke for six minutes, but chants of “traitor” drowned him out. It was glorious, as the people were telling us it is time for a change, and the best part is that Pickens is Graham’s home county. Now, since 2026 is an election year for him, he has conveniently attached himself to President Trump and his agenda once again.
