Bombing Democrats?

Who is behind it? That's the question. That it's specifically targeting Democrats leads me to two conclusions. Either a Trump-supporting right-winger, or an extreme Democrat-hating Sanders supporter, who was never a Democrat anyway.

Could be either one. Some think it's an Islamic terrorist, but they'd construct actual working bombs far superior to this. And they'd target Congress and the White House. Not just one party.

There's been no serious left-leaning violence in the US for decades.

Right-wing violence, however, is very common.

Odds are, it's a Trumper.

Probably. But the Portland shooter was a Sanders supporter, so it's never off the table.

Could be some nutter Luddite like the Unibomber. Or one like the guys who did the Oklahoma City bombing.

Given the fake ISIS flag and targets and the fact he signed his mail with the Democratic Party's head, it seems to be a very very stupid right winger.

Wait what now?

I mean, don't get me wrong...until very recently, your statement would have been correct. And the right wing is still far, far ahead. But it seems like the left is at least testing the waters.

Are assaults by Antifa not serious violence, or are they not left-leaning? Or the 2016 shooting of police in Dallas?

You'll find extremists in both the right and the left. I pay more attention to what most members of that faction say about the violence.

...

This is what my country's going to, isn't it?

I mean, jesus, I thought I'd seen everything when some moron shot up a pizza joint because the Internet told him that Hillary Clinton was hiding children in a basement that didn't exist. What did we do to deserve this?
