Assassination of a British MP, our American assassinations of the '60s, the GOP softball game attack, violent but non-lethal assaults on lawmakers; these are ideologically inspired.
We are in an era where politically inspired assassinations are a very real possibility. And my fear is that what is possible will turn into reality.
What do I mean by politically inspired assassinations?
Consider the profound repercussions on the direction of the country of any of these events:
1. A GOP senator who would be replaced by a Democrat Governor.
2. A Democrat senator who would be replaced by a GOP Governor.
3. A handful of House assassinations.
There are evil zealots on both sides. I did not say all zealots are evil. I pray none of this comes to pass, I don't know if the Republic would survive.
