When gunshots pierced the evening air at Donald Trump's rally in western Pennsylvania Saturday night, they echoed generations of political violence in some of America's most troubling moments — giving terrifying, percussive emphasis to a chaotic 2024 presidential election that is unlike any other in U.S. history. The assassination attempt wrote a ghastly new chapter in the story of deepening division and American political polarization over the past decade.

Many of Trump's most loyal supporters declared themselves energized by the failed attempt on his life.
