While the GOP try's to blame the Democrats for political violence, the truth is that they are reaping the wild wind of their own making.
"We might be tempted to think that violence against one side must come from the other side. But the bloody genie, once unleashed, often stays close to home. Those who have made violence normal are especially vulnerable, because they will always have colleagues or followers who think they have not gone far enough." - Timothy Snyder
For fun, academic balance, the purposes of debate, etc, here's William Hogeland arguing that historians probably can't teach us as much about current affairs as they pretend.
(I'm aware this is by definition an ahistorical approach to life, and not one I necessarily agree with.)
Snyder continues with a warning not to fall for the martyrdom narrative that inevitably follows such acts of violence:
"Whatever actually happens in an act of political violence, there will be someone, somewhere, who claims that victimhood means innocence, and that innocence justifies more violence by hands that remain ever blameless. This sort of logic is already all over the internet."
@mastodonmigration And the GOP has only escalated their calls for violence. They want Trump to order the assassination of all of his opponents. Even people who just voted against his 3 times.
