Since the start of 2024, the election season has taken over the American public as a whole. Once again, the people of America are going to select a President who will “Represent Democracies” all around the world for the next 4 years. As expected, a huge crowd had gathered to listen to their Republican candidate and this caused a stampede as soon as the first shot was fired.

On Saturday, 13th July, Republican Presidential Candidate Donald J. Trump was shot at during his speech. As the crowd erupted with disbelief, Trump suddenly was seen covering his right ear before being pulled to the ground by Secret Service officials

Two attendees suffered serious injuries, and the Secret Service said that at least one person died (name not disclosed). A deceased guy wearing light-colored military fatigues is seen on a rooftop close to the protest stage in bystander footage captured during the aftermath.

Our Opinion
“People who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones at others”
The proverb seems appropriate for a nation that has lectured every other nation in the past. The so-called torch bearer of Democracy in the world is itself plagued with hundreds of self-inflicted wounds.
Poverty, drug abuse, gun violence, left-wing protest culture, ultra-liberalism, and many such societal diseases are spreading in the great America that everyone aspires to live in.
We have been listening to their lectures on democracy, internal affairs, and matters that concern our Motherland. On the other hand, they do whatever they want to do and nobody condemns them for what they are.
It is high time that nations like India teach Western civilization a thing or two about how to maintain DEMOCRACY.
Hoping to see more chaos unfold during this election year.
