It’s only been days since the last attempt on the president’s life, bringing the count up to about 3 or 4, and we already have yet another weirdo issuing threats a Republican lawmaker, his family, and the president.

Here’s what we have from WPXI:

An Allegheny County man is accused of threatening to kill President Donald Trump and a member of Congress.

They identify him as Raymond Chandler. But they left out an important detail: he’s a Pennsylvania Democrat running for Senate!

Now, why would they leave out something like that? Why did WPXI deem that to be extraneous information, in this political climate?

Here’s Raymond Chandler, pictured below:

Oh, sorry. That’s not him. My bad. Here’s the real Raymond Chandler:

The guy looks like he’s only a viking helmet away from stealing the Ox King’s look. But while he marketed himself as a wholesome guy wearing a bow tie and suspenders, there’s a dark side behind this carefully manufactured persona.

Courtesy of The Gateway Pundit, here is a message that he sent to a member of Congress:

“Sir, I have, uh, I’m calling this morning ’cause I want you to imagine a scenario. I want you to imagine a scenario where all the 1,200 billionaires in this country, all their properties, are surrounded simultaneously by a thousand people.”

“So imagine your house, your daughter’s house, everyone you know and love who is also rich. Imagine every single one of those homes being surrounded by a thousand people.”

“Then imagine them all getting a text and then, then suddenly taking out their pocket knives, walking slowly towards your house with 10, you got your 10 guards or whatever against a thousand people, and then they come and they pull you out of your house and they slit your throat and they slit your daughter’s throat and they slit everyone’s throat. That you know, sir, that is the future…”

This comes off as a sick fantasy that a middle schooler would have if they were dumb enough to take Hasan Piker seriously. It’s also characterized by the kind of equivocation that is a hallmark of leftist thought. Like the mafia member who says “it would be a shame if something happened to your store” in an effort to extort protection money, Raymond could attempt to say that it wasn’t him specifically who would be behind the hypothetical attack.

To understand equivocation goes a long way in understanding how leftists communicate.

Chandler’s motivation was that “wealth concentration has gotten so bad in this country,”. A country in which, by the way, nearly every resident has climate control, emergency healthcare, refrigeration, electricity, a connection to the summation of human knowledge, supplemental food assistance, access to vehicular transportation, unlimited free entertainment, and in nearly every respect lives a better lifestyle than a king would have centuries ago.

Some people are simply envious. No matter how well they have it, they will always want more.

Chandler left a voicemail for a congressman, stating a desire for the congressman to assassinate the president. While this is in a cruder form, it’s yet another expression of how leftists use telecommunications to attempt to influence other people into doing things.

So much for the wholesome image that Raymond was going for.

He also said that the president is “a liar among all liars. He’s a great deceiver. He’s the antichrist,”. He was going for it with the religious-flavored language. Which often means that someone needs to calm down.

Considering this, and the recent uptick in left-wing violence, there’s something that I’ve been thinking about. I suspect that if Trump ran against Hitler, leftists would have voted for Hitler.

That might sound preposterous. But suppose that Hitler had his name and appearance changed. The only thing that would remain the same would be Hitler’s policy positions. Under these conditions, it becomes more reasonable to expect leftists to vote for the Socialist leader.
