I think you are right.
The Left in this country is trying to normalize political assassination and make it acceptable to the masses.
A non-insignificant portion of the population saw the news stories on the ballfield shooting of those Republican Congressmen, and thought to themselves “This is a good thing”.
We all know people like that.
There are more of them, every day. This is not an accident, but rather part of a strategy. This “comedy” presentation is part of that general pattern.
The ballpark demonstrated that at present they couldn’t assassinate anyone. He shoots 100 rounds, injures four, and gets killed—in a crowded ballpark and low security! A POTUS is surrounded by highly trained secret service men, who are conditioned to jump into the line of fire to save the POTUS, and they do advance work anywhere the POTUS is going to appear, covering every vantage point that might be used for a shooter before the POTUS even gets there. Given time, the snowflakes might train and equip a competent assassin. But by then, America will be well over them and into the Trump era.
