I thought of your advice in this post when I saw this, yes, rage is what the grifters of the right wanted to see from the left, and they are still looking for it:

Burn and rave at close of day;
RAGE, RAGE against the dying of the light.❜ pic.twitter.com/oFSmREZB8Q

Since I know you're not a fan of newfangled internet stuff, so that you don't have to delve into Twitter links, I will add that who posted this, Harry Siegel, is Senior Editor @ The Daily Beast and I found it retweeted by Rick Wilson who added the comment that The early 1990s called and they want their video game font back.

I am not indifferent. And I take your point about not jostling someone's arm at key moments.

Good Lord. How stupid do you think we’ve become?

Migrants are over 1,000 miles away from the US border and could be over a month away from safely reaching America.

Wasting US troops on the border is dumb enough. Having DHS ignore bomb threats for a campaign stunt is horrific. https://t.co/gAsUmqoj1D

Trump hasn’t bothered to call President Obama, President Clinton, Secretary Clinton, Vice President Biden, or any other targets.

If the FBI says that a person with Rightwing ties is involved, Trump will say that the FBI is wrong.

Welcome to the Trump era.

I'm encouraged by the virulent indifference to my trial balloons. Would be ashamed to admit membership in a group acting otherwise,

That said, counting on my fingers and toes I can't calculate any Trump&Co gain from today's pipe bombs. In fact, the opposite. So?

Seems common sense when your opponent takes aim at his own big toe, don't jostle his arm..

The House of Lords throughout the War Did nothing in particular And did it very well

Seems about right.

Flavius, I am not sure that anybody is going to notice the restraint you are calling for. I hear the suggestion of not giving Republicans hairs to split. On the other hand, "liberals" are already the kick dog in this movie. The state of affairs will put any generalizations made in a bad light but one peep through the window of the G.O.P. frat party shows a scene where that is so much popcorn trampled upon on the way to the keg.

I think Scaramucci has the correct angle on this festival of lies. It is all about triggering libtards. That is all Trump was hired to do. If you are a Republican, a Martian, or an Episcopalian who doesn't like that, then you probably didn't start that dislike just after some lefties noticed that some private citizen took the messages seriously.

Some words of wisdom here from an old timer political op:

Violent Political Rhetoric Can Feed Political Violence

As excitement mounts in a runup to a critical election, it's important that we recognize that politics isn't, or shouldn't be, actual warfare

By Ed Kilgore @ NYMag.com, Oct. 25

He talks "then: and now:

[...] We all have our theories of why politics increasingly feels like combat, and who is primarily to blame for the creeping savagery of political rhetoric. Back in 2011, when the tea party movement and its quasi-totalitarian ideology of Constitutional Conservatism appeared to be introducing a new and unforgiving tone in politics, two colleagues and I at The Democratic Strategist website published a memo deploring “politics as warfare,” and noting its ubiquity in the extremist politics of the left and right in other countries.

[....]

In writing those lines, we were thinking of the tea party extremists. But since then “politics as warfare” has become common on both sides of the partisan and ideological barricades [....]

I think the junior Senator from Alabama is speaking about it in a wise way here:

.@DougJones : Violent rhetoric by Bull Connor and George Wallace led to B'ham bombing.

“None of those folks meant to do something like that,” Jones said about Connor and Wallace. “But words mean something."https://t.co/SzeueZ0OrX

Wilson also retweeted this yesterday

The stock market plunge, the attempts at violence, the feeling of collapse is what Trump wants. He said so himself, in very specific terms, many times: https://t.co/ysNU5IlUl5 pic.twitter.com/RbD5FLS3yc

Beyond all the whataboutism and both-sides-ism and learned sociologizing, we shouldn’t lose sight of one core fact: The president’s behavior is an utter and total disgrace.
— Bill Kristol (@BillKristol) October 25, 2018

He could cancel the rally, fly back to the White House, and read a sober ten-minute speech from the Oval Office. He could, at least for a moment, behave as a president not a rabble-rouser. https://t.co/ynBGzt4tH8
