It needs to be said that Trump has encouraged this.

A U.S. official says an explosive device was found at Hillary and Bill Clinton's suburban New York home. The official says investigators believe it's linked to one found at liberal billionaire George Soros' compound.

. . .had followers doing "lock him up" about O'Rourke. It's their mindless mantra. Lock anybody up that they personally wouldn't vote for.

Has O'Rourke ever been accused of anything worse than being a pot smoker when he was in a punk band 25 years ago?

that and run with it.

I am at a loss why the Democrats don't run a national ad for Congressional candidates talking about how important the concept of checks and balances is, and, how maybe today it is political opponents who are not extended due process, what about the future when it will be someone you care about.

Referring to immigrants (well the brown ones, anyway), troublesome journalists, prominent Democrats, and liberals in general.

And will the media blame drumpf for fanning the flames of hatred and paranoia? I’m guessing no.

.stochastic terrorism
[stuh-kas-tik ter-uh-riz-uh?m]
noun

the public demonization of a person or group resulting in the incitement of a violent act, which is statistically probable but whose specifics cannot be predicted: The lone-wolf attack was apparently influenced by the rhetoric of stochastic terrorism.

This is the natural progression of Trumpism. And it won’t stop there. The hatred has been whipped up to a raging froth.

When we win next month there will be more violent backlash.

But that would happen even if we lose in November. Trump thought he could either control them or he could claim himself innocent of the whole thing.
