"Everyone"

Remind me motherfucker, who was it who said "The second American revolution will be bloodless if the left allows it to be"?

Don't threaten violence against your political opponents and then get surprised when they fight back.

Except, aparently the shooter was a republican. Probably shot at trump because he wasn't far right enough. It's Shinzo Abe all over again.

Shinzo Abe was murdered because he supported a religious cult that destroyed the family of the person that assassinated him. I am not trying to justify it, but it was a completely different set of circumstances. Apples and oranges really.
