Democrats Motivated John Wilkes Booth To Assassinate President Lincoln



Ever since the dawn of the Democratic Party's ideology of the "White Man's Republic" in the 1830s, the Democratic Party held that the United States is a country established for white people and that black Americans and women were not citizens and should be excluded from voting -- and subsequently taking part in the political community. This ideology was notably advanced by the Democratic Party in the mid-1800s as a means to unite white men and preserve racial hierarchy and the institution of slavery. Democrats used that divisiveness to start the Civil War. 

The central theme of the Democratic Party was that the United States was for white persons alone. Prominent Democrats like Stephen Douglas argued that, "This government is established on the white basis. It was established by white men, for the benefit of white men and their posterity forever, and should be administered by white men and none others".

While the vast majority of Southerners in the 1850s and 1860s did not own slaves, in fact, only a small percentage of the very wealthy white and black plantation owners actually owned slaves, that didn't stop the Democratic Party from pushing their central theme to justify withholding rights from black Americans and women. 

The Democratic Party's justification for inequality was based on the fear of "Amalgamation," The fear the Democrats preached was straight out of the book of hate with the notion that any sort of equality would inevitably lead to social equality and "amalgamation" -- which would lead to interracial relationships and marriage, something Democrats claimed would be "repugnant" and lead to perpetual social turmoil.

Democratic Party leaders falsely claimed that America's Founding Fathers never intended for black Americans and women to be citizens. The Democratic Party ideology stoked the fears of black and female participation in politics, voting, and the abolition of slavery. By promoting the "white man's republic," the Democratic Party sought to forge a broad, hate-filled coalition ready to kill for their cause.

This was the Democratic Party that motivated John Wilkes Booth to assassinate President Abraham Lincoln in 1865. Booth was driven by his staunch Confederate sympathies, which were driven by the Democratic Party. 

It is historically accurate that the leadership and citizens of the Confederate states were overwhelmingly Democrats at the time of the Civil War. The Democratic Party was the primary political vehicle for white supremacy and the preservation of slavery. Regarding the Democratic Party and Confederate sympathies, the states that formed the Confederacy were solidly Democratic. To a great extent, the Confederacy was a creation of the Democratic Party because they feared the end of slavery following the election of Republican Abraham Lincoln.

The Democratic Party was the main pro-slavery political party, and its desire to keep slavery intact catapulted the nation into a Civil War. The Democrats' platform was to actively support the continuation and expansion of slavery.
 
Assassin John Wilkes Booth fervently believed in the Democratic Party doctrine of white supremacy and intensely hated President Lincoln, the Union, and the Republican Party's anti-slavery cause. He was a fervent supporter of the Confederacy and pro-slavery views, and his actions, including the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln, can be understood in the context of the 19th-century ideal of the Democratic Party's doctrine "White Man's Republic".

The Democratic Party's doctrine of "White Man's Republic" is an ideology the party has held for more than 200 years. The key connections between John Wilkes Booth and this concept were Booth's pro-Slavery stance, as we know he was an outspoken supporter of slavery and detested abolitionists; his commitment to the cause of the Confederacy, which we know was rooted in his desire to preserve the institution of slavery and an exclusively white-controlled society; and his opposition to President Lincoln since we know that Booth viewed President Lincoln as a "tyrant," a "king," as someone who was "unconstitutionally expanding federal power and fundamentally changing the character of the nation." Yes, very similar to what the Democratic Party preaches today regarding President Trump. 

Republican President Abraham Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation and his support for voting rights for black Americans and women directly challenged the Democratic Party's doctrine of the "White Man's Republic" ideal. Since Booth believed in that doctrine, that's how the Democratic Party motivated John Wilkes Booth to assassinate President Lincoln. 

As Democrats do today, Democrats appealed to all of the things that such a sick mind hated; they stoked that fire of hatred at every opportunity and pushed him to finally act. Does that sound like the same method of operating as Democrats today, since we know of many Democrat politicians who have vilified President Trump, repeatedly called him "Hitler," stoked the hate for the president, and have influenced their followers to assassinate President Trump? I believe history is repeating itself, and the Democratic Party is taking a page out of its old playbook to get one of its followers to kill President Trump. 

John Wilkes Booth's Confederate sympathies were part of a broader political movement aligned with the Democratic Party. Booth was a strong supporter of slavery and the doctrine of white supremacy of the Democratic Party. He hated abolitionists. He hated President Lincoln because he was told to hate him. His views were widely shared among Democrats who saw the Democratic Party lead the charge to secede from the Union to form the Confederate States of America, even though that meant keeping thousands enlaved. 

Yes, in the same way that Democrats today see the Democratic Party as leading the charge to secede from market capitalism to form the Communist States of America, even though it means enslaving thousands to a Communist state.

What's been the tipping point for those would-be assassins who have tried to kill President Trump? That's something that Americans need to find out. For me, I believe it is the hate and threats coming from Democrat politicians, Hollywood celebrities, and leftists in the news media on television who routinely demonstrate their visceral, deep-seated hate for President Trump daily.  

The Mainstream News Media, the Leftist talking heads on television, and Leftist newspapers, say that that the "tipping point" for individuals attempting to kill President Trump is "a complex mix of factors, including personal grievances, potential mental health issues, exposure to extreme political polarization and online echo chambers, and a desire for notoriety, rather than a single, consistent motive." 

If that all sounds like double-talk and spin to you? You're right. The Democrat-controlled media refuses to acknowledge that Democrat political rhetoric has directly influenced the would-be assassins who have targeted President Trump. The Left refuses to accept blame for its complicity in the acts of those assassins.  

Following the July 2024 assassination attempt, many Republican lawmakers and President Trump himself publicly blamed the "heated" and "irresponsible" rhetoric of Democrats for creating a climate that encouraged violence. Republican lawmakers and President Trump himself point to Democrats' statements that incite their followers to believe the lie that they push, saying, "President Trump is a threat to democracy." Have the Democrats turned down the hate? No. 

When will the next Leftist assassin act? While I hope never, I fear that Democrats will get another one of their followers to again try to kill the president. After all, I believe that's what Democrats want. And while you might disagree with me, that's how I see the hate coming out of the Democrat Party today.

What was the tipping point for John Wilkes Booth? Well, let's remember that the assassination of President Lincoln was precipitated by the President's speech in which he advocated for black suffrage. For John Wilkes Booth, that was the tipping point he needed. That was the event that showed him that what Democratic leaders were saying was right. That's what pushed him to kill President Lincoln. 

For Booth, the idea of a Republic that included equal rights for black citizens and women was an existential threat to his view of the way society should be. And yes, if we go by what the Democratic Party was saying, then it was undoubtedly a threat to the Democratic Party. So in essence, John Wilkes Booth's act to shoot President Lincoln was done to defend the Democratic Party's vision of the United States as a "White Man's Republic." 

The irony is that, while John Wilkes Booth was not a member of the Democratic Party, he was so influenced by the Democratic Party's hate rhetoric against Lincoln that he did exactly what the Democratic Party's leaders wanted one of their followers to do. Booth shot and assassinated President Lincoln from behind, then proclaimed "Death to all tyrants," just as a Democrat would do today.
