In the early years of the Obama administration, Democrats indulged in quite a bit of assassination-porn, anticipating, in a sort of ecstasy, the killing of their president and his ascension to the exalted status of Holy Martyr, alongside Martin Luther King Jr.
Strangely enough, Obama survived his presidency, and is now busily plucking the fairest flowers of the pay-for-play circuit.
Will Trump be so fortunate?
I worry, because if Trump goes, there’s nobody that I can see to replace him.
Worse yet, there will be an orgy of vengeance killings, and they won’t all be politicians.
I remember the violence of the 60’s. We really don’t need it again.

I, too remember (or, at least, remember remembering) the very end of the 60’s. And “we really don’t need it again” – totally agreed.

“we really don’t need it again”? The end of the 60’s never left us. We are living that legacy today.
Well, things are pretty bad, but they’re not, yet, as bad as 1968.
