We may be on that slippery slope Jim. I had the fortune of delivering the keynote address at yesterday’s 9/11 remembrance service at Michigan’s War Memorial on the shores of Lake St. Clair. As I took the podium gazing over the large lake it felt surreal that I was about to talk about one attack on the heels of a very public assassination of a well known person. That same thought hit me - was he crazy or sane and calculating? If the latter, we may be entering a very dangerous phase. With wars and economic battles raging all around the globe, we cannot afford to treat one another here in America with so-called logical disdain. It’s as if your liver goes to war against your lungs. The outcome won’t be pretty.
Early indications are that he was a gamer (online memes, trolling, etc) .. conservative family values with some degree of hunting experience .. we may just be looking at a combination of dehumanization and rage baiting now being translated IRL
