The author makes good sense.
There is a prediction I’m willing to make:
Within the next year, a shockingly violent incident will happen with an obvious right-winger as the culprit.
Doesn’t have to be a Trump supporter, although that would be a major bonus. But it does need to be a Republican.
Why will this happen?
Because the Left has (rhetorically) had its nose bloodied. All the violent rhetoric and actions in the news up to mid-2017 have ostentatiously come from them. They know this, they secretly enjoy this, but also are PR savvy. This is what Hillary and Company do for a living, remember. While you and I are at real jobs.
They know the media spotlight on their violence is putting Leftist supporters in an awkward spot on the cocktail-party circuit. They can’t defend the violent speech and actions of the left forever. Not if the incidents are all one-sided.
Since no one on the Right is acting as violently as they’d like, they will create the story they require.
There will conveniently be a horrific attack attributed to a person linked to the violent Right, and therefore cast as a representative of the entire Right. Of course it will be against either blacks, Hispanics, gays, lesbians, muslims, or women and children. They’re not very creative. That is because they have Hollywood on their side. (They truly believe that good images are better than good logic.)
This will probably happen prior to the 2018 mid-term elections, to strike while the iron is hot and to “not let a crisis go to waste.” And to keep non-violent voters from defecting from the Democrats, who are increasingly looking like amateurish anarchists.
It’s exactly what both the Hillary and the Obama factions, and the next flavor-of-the-month faction of the Democrat party needs, desperately. So it should happen. They all have a talent for making convenient things come about.
I’m posting now to get “Told you so” rights.
Sorry but this has already HAPPENED.

Another example is how they have successfully convinced most people that the NAZIs are on the right, when they were a basically middle of the road Leftist party of the day. They were national leftists; they were opposed by the international leftists, and after the national leftists were defeated in WWII, the left defined the defeated leftists as “the right”.
They have lost the ability to do that sort of framing and re-defining.
Will they resort to actually creating a provocation. I doubt it. There is much to lose, because they are likely to be found out. They no longer can be sure of cover from the government institutions. The media is not theirs to control anymore. There are millions of bloggers and citizen reporters, and potential leaks in their own ranks.
Wiki-leaks terrifies them.
It could happen. Lots can happen. But I think the odds are against it.
Yep. There are a million candidates on the internet. I would not underestimate the state and non-state actors who desperately want this to happen. The important thing to remember is that most nut jobs are self-created nut jobs and don't need any special handling. The average weapon is legally obtained and has a high capacity magazine, so those are not tells. But the target may be a tell. I would look for a mosque target or a Muslim meeting of some sort.
Also the tracks will have to be covered like Lanza shooting his mother four times in the head in her bed and then destroying his hard drive. I'm not saying Lanza was one, but it will look like that.
