re: #75 researchok

This is very, very bad.

No matter the outcome, there will be a loud chorus of ‘I told you so’ that will only maintain the status quo or escalate what is already out of control.

This isn’t about broken politics. This is about broken culture.

Possibly but keep in mind that it still might not be political. Think about John Hinckley. It’s a very real possiblity.
If this is politically motivated and if it does end up being a wingnut I don’t expect anything to change. They aren’t going to back down on the conspiracies and overblown rhetoric until it ends up costing them votes. Glenn Beck still continues after one of his fans was stopped on his way to assassinate people at the Tides foundation. I don’t expect anything to change.
