The Right has a well oiled opportunistic machine that quickly attempts (generally to great success) to capitalize on spectacles involving violence.
The Left (or at least what passes for the “Left” here in Freedumlandia) quickly performs their “What they said!” genuflection though with whatever twist they can manage that places their Status Quo Corporate Wing above and in contrast to the “radical” rabble dwelling in the progressive realm.
It’s not just responses to kinetically violent acts. Everyone’s painting this as “political” violence. Based on what is currently available in the public sphere, one could equally argue it an act of moral and / or religious outrage.
Economic trauma, Civil Rights degradation…pick a category and the hierarchy of the supposed opposition will hurry to jump aboard that train in an attempt to quash the progressive wing of their own party.
It’s not the “brilliance” of the Right that has destroyed this country, but more the mechanics of the Democratic Party leadership that has proven it would rather have a monstrous autocrat in charge than an economic progressive.
They’re currently working very, very, very hard to replicate their past failures via the GOP lite billionaire community.
As duly noted, this episode will be forgotten by week's end, as yet more acts of trumpian insanity recapture the news cycle. But honestly, a right cunt like trump — more than any other president since Nixon — absolutely begs for "termination with extreme prejudice", in the words of US intelligence services reaching back to the Vietnam War era, and to the extent of the wanker occupying the Oval Office, these attempts on his accursed life will continue, book it.
Actually this is good practice about being a target. Heaven knows all the children in our school
system fear this every day: having to duck under tables or scramble to a closet to avoid those with guns. But the gun lobby has huge coffers.
As an American it is affirming to read such an accurate analysis from across the pond.

Venerable Vulnerable
Astute.
Obama had 11 attempts on his life. People aren’t aware of that because he didn’t use this to claim victim hood
