It's a meme with legs

Just the other day, Josh Marshall joined the concern trolls, wringing his hands and crying out, "Someone will die."

Well, now it's a thing, or maybe it already was, and even "news" outlets as well as wholly suspect blabberers and obvious propaganda venues are asking people whether - or maybe just when - Trump's inflammatory rhetoric will get someone killed.

They can hardly wait, eh?

Juicy.

It occurs to me that this sort of thing happens with every election, or has with more than one recent election, with Democrats pouring out accusations, often in connection with the fight about gun rights, that the right wing is creating an atmosphere of fear and violence and the 2nd Amendment enables and encourages their political terrorism.

It's not often, however, that losing Republicans who loathe their own candidate join them in this sort of attack.

Of course, it is difficult not to suppose Trump is deliberately provocative.

It pleases his supporters and he seems to think the publicity surrounding the behavior of the disrupters does his campaign good.

He might be right.

Meanwhile, people have left off calling him Hitler and Mussolini and settled on George Wallace.

Glad we've finally got that sorted out.
