I said it on the radio show a few weeks ago that President Donald Trump's incendiary rhetoric and bluster regarding a "stolen election" was going to lead to violence. What we witnessed at the U.S. Capitol Wednesday afternoon was a manifest of that. It isn't all that different from 2017 when Sen. Bernie Sanders kept proclaiming that the Republicans' plan to repeal Obamacare would kill millions of Americans. Sure enough, a deranged Bernie Bro shot at Republicans on a baseball field, almost killing Congressman Steve Scalise.
For a few years now I've conceded that we're at a point in America where absolutely nothing unites us anymore, and the polarization has only worsened. I'm beyond saddened and dispirited right now.
