    Most assassination attempts on Republicans have been by Republicans. Don’t assume this is liberal America

      Thats why I said “someone”

      Although I suspect this particular assassin WAS liberal/leftist since he actually managed to hit his target, and at a decent range too.

        Ok but you have to be shot at to shoot “back”. All I’m saying is don’t spread the worst case assumption

      Doesn’t matter who it was or why. The left will be blamed.

      I always said that nothing will change until someone prominent on the right gets shot. I was actually talking about their children in a school shooting in regards to tighter gun laws. Thousands of kids, a bunch of church-goers, and some Democratic lawmakers get shot and it’s no big deal. But one prominent right-wing talking head gets shot and now it’s real to them. This will be the impetus for major change, but not the change any of us wanted.

      I hope I’m wrong, but I feel like things are about to get a whole lot worse than they were the last 8 months.
