      Photo of bomb suspect's van. What's striking to me is not so much his political affiliation as his apparent media diet. If 99% don't take this stuff literally--stylized opinions about public figures, just trolling, owning the libs, etc.--that leaves thousands of Americans who do.pic.twitter.com/FcClEgjd9q

      Let me be clear: Bombers are responsible for bombings. But if you've been insisting Dems and/or media are evil, treasonous, always lying, trying to kill you and have to be stopped, maybe now's a good time to step back and realize not everyone recognizes you're being metaphorical.

          I generally agree with your sentiment, however lots of people are insisting Trump and/or republicans are evil, treasonous, always lying, trying to kill you and have to be stopped... if they are being metaphorical, I'm not seeing it.

          Not mutually exclusive. Either way, I’m reacting to today’s news. If someone with a van covered in anti-Trump images, including some placing him in target sights, sends bombs to prominent Republicans (or something similar), I will make a similar comment about that.

          Maybe those extremists don't like the colour blue or donkeys! Blaming others for the extreme actions of mad or insane people, is easy to opine about, but usually wrong. Turning up political "heat" & rhetoric does not encourage rational people to bomb in partisan ways #Trump
