Is America Headed for a Wave of Political Violence?
By Taylor Lewis

In March of 2016, during the heat of the Republican primary contest, Josh Marshall, the tetchy founder of Talking Points Memo, offered an ominous augury about the raucous Trump campaign. “Someone will die,” he thundered, giving, at the time, the umpteenth warning about the violent effects of the real estate magnate’s aggressive rhetoric. “It may sound like hyperbole. But this is the kind of climate of agitation and violence where someone will end up getting severely injured or killed. I do not say that lightly,” Marshall warned his loyal audience.

I’ve thought about the piece a lot since Trump’s unlikely election and the Democrats’ slow descent into madness. Every new instance of liberal-concocted violence brings it back to mind, like a nagging reminder. Whether it’s James Hodgkinson’s attempted killing spree, Trump supporters accosted in public, or even hoaxed hate crimes, Marshall’s prediction might appear prescient, albeit in a backwards way.

Right now, the [divided] United States is in a state of "cold civil war":
The red states v. the blue states.

It has yet to "go from cold to hot".
But that fragile peace won't last forever.

Sooner or later, there is going to be a "Fort Sumter moment".
An event, a line that is crossed, from which there is no going back.
And then all hell is gonna break loose.

As long as the Leftists in their blue, urban, enclaves burn their own neighborhoods, things will likely only remain much the same. Not many 'blue' counties aren't cities or major metro areas.

The Fort Sumpter moment (actually, the Pratt Street Riots drew first blood) won't happen until the invading armies of the blue zones cross the line into marauding in the 'red' turf, statutorily or otherwise.
