Trump shot, America teeters on the edge, Republicans vow Revenge

The speech is short.
But it's the most rousing speech I've ever read.
It's been worked on, here and in Russia, on and off,
for over eight years.
I shall force someone to take the body away from him
and Donny will really hit those microphones and those cameras
with blood all over him,
fighting off anyone who tries to help him,
defending America even if it means his own death,
 rallying a nation of television viewers to hysteria,
to sweep us up into the White House
with powers that will make martial law seem like anarchy!
- Manchurian candidate (1962)
Bullets whizzed by and nicked his ear A shooter apparently tired to kill Donald Trump.

The shooter is apparently dead, two other people were shot one killed, and Donald Trump is not seriously injured.

The Boomers have been yearning for a return to their youth and the 1960's and today's shooting may be the catalyst to bring back the turmoil, violence, and era of civil unrest.

Already we have seen Police Departments act as their Grandfather's did in rousting and beating student protestors.  Trump's constant vile rhetoric has introduced so much latent violence into the Nation since his full-throated entry into Politics in 2015. 

Greg Abbott, the slimy Texas bastard, appears to be the first prominent Republican to insinuate a plot by Twitting "They tried to kill him."

And...... just like that J.D. Vance (who is considered the front runner for Vice President) has now concocted a conspiracy implicating President Biden.

Mike Collins (Republican Traitor in Georgia) declared, "Biden did this, we must retaliate."

I will await the full investigation and details surrounding the shooter before wildly speculating about motivation.  At this point, I know the response will be terrible.  Of course, it will start with the more unhinged conservative conspirators, but quite frankly major conservative groups like the Heritage Foundation have already laid out a roadmap of extreme state-sponsored terrorism and violence, while rightwingers across the Nation have been promising to enact revenge and hurt millions if given a chance.

So, expect Republicans to ratchet up the violent rhetoric.  Republicans have been yearning to become fully fascist and this shooting has all the possibility of being the Cases Belli, Republicans have sought.  

Be prepared because Republicans are going to want revenge and will not discriminate in their targets.

ETA:  All those people who vehemently declared you can't blame Sarah Palin for putting rifle scopes on Gabby Giffords, who openly mocked Paul Pelosi after he was bludgeoned, who wax poetically about the need to shed the blood of Tyrants and Patriots, who lionized Cliven Bundy or Kyle Rittenhouse, who dismiss school shootings and demand they not be "politicized" all seem to be angry and want blood and violence.

Will they get it?  I think win or lose Trump will incite them to take Revenge.  Project 2025 is both a roadmap and an aspiration.  Large scale rightwing Domestic Terrorism is coming...
