No sooner than we warned of fading civility and the potential for rising election year violence on last week's program, Leftist mobs targeted and shut down a Donald Trump political rally in Chicago. It was also reported that unattended cars with Trump bumper stickers parked near the rally were targeted by vandals who broke windows and did other damage.
What'd we say last week about bumper stickers?
We're not prophets. Just a couple of guys watching societal cues, and interpreting them through the context of history, both recent and long past.
This week, we take on the Republican gospel of Political Civility.
Forget it. There's no such thing. Many of those who preach political civility as a dig at Trump are the same ones who plot to steal the Republican nomination from either Trump or Ted Cruz, and seek install a nominee more to the politial elite's liking.
The same political elite that demanded Donald Trump not undertake a third party presidental run also now have members plotting a third party to spoil Trump should he wrangle the GOP nomnation.
Those who demand political civility seem to think it makes for a docile electorate unable or unwilling to counter or protest corrupt party bosses. Republican back rooms appear places where everything but political civility is plotted and practiced.
Meanwhile, there's a new force threatening to emerge, adding more uncertainty to an already rocky political year.
Many of the same groups that targeted last week's Trump rally in Chicago now say they'll target the U.S. Capitol next month.
If the capitol comes under seige by Leftist mobs, will Republicans still insist it'sTrump's fault, or that the mobs will vanish if Republicans just act more civil?
