Revolution interrupted. That's how the left views the Trump presidency: as an anomaly, something to be resisted at every turn, even by violent means, until progressives can get the revolution back on track. They see Trump as a threat to their vision of America as an egalitarian, universalist, godless, centralized state, and they believe that extreme rhetoric and action is justified in opposing him.
The attack on Rep. Scalise and other Republicans is profoundly disturbing because it was a direct assault on our democratic process. The shooter intended to kill GOP lawmakers so as to shift the balance of power to the left. It was a crude effort – "kill the enemy so as to have one's own way" – but it was not unexpected. It was, in effect, merely a physical manifestation of the violent rhetoric that has become commonplace on the left.
Now there are calls on both sides for a return to civility. That "civility" won't last beyond the Scalise news cycle. It is already breaking down as the left media blame the attack on "guns" or on the "Trump extremism" that "incited" the attack. The angry words will escalate as the democratically elected Trump administration proceeds with its agenda.
The recent attack is especially disturbing because it recalls the late-stage violence of so many other democratic states, from Republican Rome to Lenin's overthrow of the short-lived democratic Russian state to the rise of Venezuela's Hugo Chávez. The progression from angry words to violent acts is always a critical point in the decline of democratic governance. It comes about when one party refuses to acknowledge the rule of law and employs extreme tactics in pursuit of power. Clearly, America is now at that dangerous point of no return.

What civility?
I have heard nothing but praise or justification of the attack on Scalise and others beginning just moments after the murderous act was reported up until this minute.
There was never any civility to “break down”
Trump’s election IS the revolution. We’re just getting started!

Trump’s election IS the revolution. We’re just getting started!
Agree 100% - MAGA!
Rather than call it a shooting of Scalise, we should call the crime an “attempted massacre.” That dirtbag meant to kill dozens of Republican congressmen.
That is exactly where we are.
What will be next - more violence or will we see a draw-back?
Revolution interrupted. That’s how the left views the Trump presidency: as an anomaly...
They WILL win. However, they will win before the Lord returns and finishes death and sin off once and for all. Once you see all this stuff from the eyes of future history, it’s not so frightening.
In the end, the good guys win, though the battles sting a bit.
Nope. Not that I would condone such acts but until the other side starts shooting back, there is no interruption.
TRUMP is not the target! The TARGET is the candidate that defeated HITLERY. If Almighty God had won the election, the DEMOCRAP response would be equally as vicious!
“I am getting very tired of the left’s continual attempts to drive President Trump from office. I’m sure there are millions of others that feel the same way.”
“What civility?”
Exactly.
Democrats have a habit of behaving like the scu&bags they are by hiding behind children, old people, school lunches, health care, religion, and whatever else will give them the camouflage to further the revolution. (The issue is never the issue, the issue is always the revolution.)
(They’re giving everyone a preview of what a Progressive regime would look like.)
IMHO
Democrats are an enemy of America. It’s simple reality. Treat them all as you would a member of any Murder Cult. Despise them in your personal life. Cast them out completely. They deserve to be shamed.
Every liberal is a violent totalitarian thug.
You can say that again
“In fact, way back in 20090, when Bush was elected...”
That’s some really strange history there.
Sorry, wrong dimension...
