While the GOP try's to blame the Democrats for political violence, the truth is that they are reaping the wild wind of their own making.
"We might be tempted to think that violence against one side must come from the other side. But the bloody genie, once unleashed, often stays close to home. Those who have made violence normal are especially vulnerable, because they will always have colleagues or followers who think they have not gone far enough." - Timothy Snyder
