I recognize exactly that same chill Marc Elias describes. That creeping sense of horror, the dread that the abnormal has become ordinary. It feels like a poison spreading — not only in America, but beyond its borders, across the oceans.
Trump’s chaos, his endless assaults on truth, on democracy, on human dignity, seep into the atmosphere like a toxic fog. And little by little, the world risks inhaling it, until outrage dulls, until lies feel familiar, until violence is just another headline.
That is the most frightening part: not only what he does, but how he makes us accept it as “normal.”
Encore une fois, c’est un poison qui se répand au-delà des mers, infiltrant nos esprits et nos vies comme s’il voulait anesthésier toute résistance.
Donald Trump has perfected the art of selective outrage. When violence stains America’s streets, he wastes no time inventing culprits — “radical leftists,” Democrats, the phantom bogeyman called “Antifa.” He roars with fury when it serves him. But when the blood is spilled by one of his own — a pro-Trump, anti-vaccine, anti-abortion extremist who opened fire in a Michigan church — his roar collapses into a whisper.
His Truth Social statement was telling: prayers for victims, solemn words about a “targeted attack on Christians.” Not a syllable about the ideology that actually pulled the trigger. Not a breath acknowledging that this was not Antifa, not the Democrats, not the left — but a far-right zealot steeped in the very rhetoric Trump has stoked for years.
This is more than hypocrisy. It’s a political cover-up. Trump refuses to condemn right-wing terror because he thrives on it. He needs the anger, the paranoia, the fever of grievance. So he shifts the blame to imaginary enemies while giving real extremists a free pass. That is not leadership; that is incitement by omission.
Trump does not shield America — he shields the extremists who worship him. And every time he does, he erodes the truth, weakens democracy, and leaves the country more vulnerable to the next act of violence. That is the true legacy of his silence: a nation poisoned, not protected.
And once again, he drags the entire world into this whirlwind of violence, working to normalize it, to make it seem inevitable — as if brutality were the new order he longs to impose.
...Et par-delà les mers, son poison se répand : il entraîne le monde entier dans son chaos, cherchant à banaliser la violence comme si elle était devenue la norme.
guns!the common item!when i was in usa on holiday!it was1976,your bicentennial year,well ,i as at that stage in los angeles,came on tv,two neighbours had a disagreement,both went out on street with shotguns,well,both died,the actual stupidity,clouded judgement puzzled me!and now,2025 and i see the same idiotic,attacking churchs,to kill people,going about their right to pray in peace!!trump blames he left,but statistics point to far right!!but what i see,people are NOT TAUGHT, how to manage situations,if UPSET,DONT GRAB A GUN!!
