24. Tell that to all those rushing to blame the left side of the aisle

The talking points have already emerged.

-Democrats need to pull back on their partisanship. They are too critical of their opponents.

-Kathy Griffin and all members of the "liberal media" caused this. Their hatred of Trump is unprecedented.

-Those drawn to progressive politics are dangerous fanatics.

There will be selective ignorance of the unprecedented disrespect and threats of violence directed toward President Obama. Neither will there be mention of the anger and physical actions fomented by our current POTUS since 2008, a fervor that rose to alarming levels during the last few years.

Nor will anyone mention the current POTUS recently invited a celebrity to be his White House guest who has threatened deadly violence against Democratic Party leaders for years, a man whose statements against Obama were so troubling it earned him special attention from the Secret Service.

No, the onus for this will thrust upon the shoulders of the left in an attempt to cow resistance to the growing oligarchy.
