Election 2018
#39
It looks as if the Feds got the creep who mailed bombs with the return address of Representative "Debbie Wasserman Shultz (sic!)", and he was definitely some left-winger trying to blame the Right. He had been at Trump rallies, attired as one would expect.

No, President Trump is not culpable of this directly, but he has yet to recognize that hostile rhetoric can push people on the margin to do extreme violence.

To be sure, most Trump supporters are good, decent people even if they believe in a horrible person. But take away the homophobia, and the members of Westboro Baptist Church aren't so horrible, either.

It is time for the President to unequivocally condemn violence against his opponents and rivals in a way that does not fault people for being targets of such violence. Had even one of those pipe bombs gone off we would have had ugly consequences beyond personal tragedy.
The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist  but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
