Right wing nut jobs have been itching to shoot liberals dead since the 90s. They're tired of waiting.

The state of right wing politics.

I heard someone I used to respect much more say something to the effect that a given "liberal" politician ought to be shot a few years ago, and it fully cemented to be that this is a group that will absolutely engage in and incite violence to get what it wants. Massive effect on my trust in this person and their judgment aside, this person is not actually super political, and isn't one to want to hurt anyone themselves. But they're absolutely someone hearing all this same shit and coming to the conclusion that, well, golly, someone has to do it, for the greater good.
So, there's clearly someone else taking it yet more seriously, and deciding at some point that now's the time for violence, and they're just the one to do it. And that's why I believe in paying attention to this stuff. It's already hurting people, and that's seen as a good thing.

Of course. These are the same people who shot Martin Luther King, Jr.
