Well, now that the seal's been broken -- someone took a swing at a former POTUS -- is anyone surprised that yesterday happened? David Frum and David Rothkopf have said it far better than I can this morning, but a man who has stoked and glorified political violence was the target for political violence himself. What did he think was going to happen? What did his supporters and enablers think was going to happen?

Remember, every action has intended and unintended consequences, and sometimes those consequences take a long time to reveal themselves.

Buckle up, people. Shit's about to get far, far worse.
