We call that narcissism. They are indeed master manipulators.

By manipulators, I'm sure you meant those manipulators who riot on campuses, use threats, bullying, arson, assault, destruction of both public and private property, and now attempted murder thrown into the mix to shut down conservatives and conservative speakers.

That's right. Only defend Conservatives. Fuck that both parties are responsible for the shit they cause, just bash on the liberals.
Fucking asshole.

My point is, this ain't exactly a new thing.
Go look up some of the anti-Catholic stuff on presidential candidate (and president) Kennedy. To this day, BTW, I find his defense of the "Catholic thing", that he wasn't a very good Catholic, to be problematic on several levels. But even as a kid growing up in the 60s, I was aware there was some pretty virulent anti-Catholic sentiment. Even heard it from folks/relatives and that was despite some Catholic intermarriage already existing in the family at that time.

Hopefully you're right, and this guy, and antifa violence, are just blips.
But consider that the world has changed a lot since then. In particular, the internet makes it a lot easier for people to obsess over these things.
It's too early to say that political violence is now instigated more easily, but I don't think it's safe to just assume that societal dynamics now are the same as they were 3 to 5 decades ago.

""The net increase in murders, which follows a two-decade downward trend, erased the gains of the past few years, and put the number of murders back at 15,696, about the same number as in 2009. Murder and violent crime are still dramatically lower than they were at the peak of the violent crime wave of the late 1980s and early 1990s. The national murder rate last year was about half what it was in 1991. ""
wait wait wait wait wait!! Am I reading this right?! 15 thousand people are murdered every year in the US?!
That's 4.88 per 100,000 people!
Compare that to... say.... Portugal!
100 murders per year, or 0.97 per 100,000 people.
That's still too many.... we do have a few nutjobs, too.. I guess they're everywhere... but hey... at least they don't have easy access to guns, so the end result is a clear 20% of the US's fear of other people.
That makes my life oh so much less stressful. 80% less.
Quality of life, that is... quality of life! I keep telling you good folk, come on over to one of the truly great countries in the world!

Fucking asshole. Where did I bash liberals as a whole? I make a distinction between liberals and the far left with their craziness. When you read my posts you won't see where I argue against liberals.
Out of control mobs of leftwing radicals use threats and violence to shut down conservatives, and now it seems one of those leftist crazies stepped up to targeting Republicans for murder.
