Someone is going to get hurt, given the bloodthirsty embrace of violent rhetoric on the part of the Right. What’s worse, when it happens, the Right will got dark for a few days while they figure out their talking points.
Then they’ll pop back up and give us wane “thoughts and prayers” and say all their talk of “kill shots” can’t be used against them because the person who did it was OBVIOUSLY mentally ill. All the while, in private they will either be glad someone they hate politically got hurt or it will begin to sink in that we’re careening towards something akin to a civil war.
But after the initial shock wears off, they’ll go back to saying the same damn thing. I’m really beginning to think that the GQP is going to self-own in a massive way by resorting to violence to get what they want when we’re well on our way to them getting EVERYTHING they want when we slip peacefully into autocracy in 2024 when human tumor Steve Bannon’s “administrative coup” works.
This makes me so angry. It’s all so stupid. But this is a macro problem with no ready solution.
