It’s unsettling. Disquieting. Revolting. But not surprising. A movement that is built on rejecting Christ and embracing the death of children in utero has no respect for life to begin with.

A new report reveals that a majority of those on the left approve of assassinating public figures like President Donald Trump and Elon Musk.

The Network Contagion Research Institute (NCRI), found that a growing number of those on the left are willing to justify and even applaud killing in the name of politics.

That’s because politics is their god.

The NCRI study traces the cultural shift back to the assassination of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson by Luigi Mangione in December 2024.

I, however, would trace it back a bit further. How about 1973 when Roe v. Wade made the murder of tiny human beings legally permissible? How about when the left demanded that God be pulled from public schools?

NCRI conducted a nationally representative survey of more than 1,200 U.S. adults and showed that 38% of respondents said it would be at least “somewhat justified” to murder Donald Trump, and 31% said the same about Elon Musk.

When counting only left-leaning respondents, justification for killing Trump rose to 55% and Musk to 48%.

That’s a majority. And, my fellow Catholics, do you think they would have very different feelings about you?

“These are not isolated opinions,” the report states. “They are part of a tightly connected belief system linked to what we call left-wing authoritarianism.”

Among left-of-center respondents, a large share rated the murder of Trump and Musk as either “somewhat” or “completely justified,” according to this histogram. The chart highlights the skew in support for political violence along ideological lines, with far-left participants scoring highest across all metrics.

NCRI said that those on the right don’t show the same murderous tendencies. “What we found was a statistically higher endorsement of political murder on the left, 41% more than among right-leaning participants.”

But please remember, you’re the Nazis.
