The assassination attempt on Trump has completed the memory-holing of Trump's incompetence (e.g., his handling of Covid) and criminality (e.g., his central role in the phony state electoral college slates that were intended to subvert the lawful transfer of power to Joe Biden after the 2020 election and Trump's total dereliction of duty as Commander-in-Chief on January 6th as he watched gleefully for hours as the Capitol was attacked). The fact that Trump likely will again be elected president in November is the real "American Carnage" because it demonstrates that a huge swath of Americans care more about culture wars and the price of eggs and gas than about putting an incompetent criminal back in the White House.
