On July 13, 2024, Donald Trump was nearly assassinated during a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, resulting in the death of volunteer firefighter Corey Comperatore. Following the incident, Trump expressed experiencing PTSD due to perceived threats from the crowd. Rather than focus on the personal tragedy of Comperatore or the close call with Trump’s life, the narrative shifted to the psychological impact of the event on those present. This situation revealed deeper divides in American political culture, illustrating a stark contrast between reality and fabricated fears.

A man was lying on the ground, dying or already dead next to his wife and daughters, but MacFarlane wants to make it clear that the horror of the day was attributable not to the shooting, but the fantasy that he had concocted in his head.
MacFarlane's view of American politics is that there are good guys and bad guys, and that every story outlines this division.
They were coming for us! If he [Trump] didn't jump up with his fist, they were going to come kill us!
