Open Season

I must've dreamed a thousand dreams
Been haunted by a million screams
But I can hear the marching feet
They're moving into the street
--Genesis

Breitbart project documents nearly 600 acts of violence and harasment against Trump supporters and associates. Acts range from shooting Republican senators on a practice baseball field, to beating up people on the street wearing Trump shirts, to threatening remarks made about the president.

The list likely under-reports the number of incidents. For example, the assault against Rand Paul at his home in Kentucky last year does not appear on the list as far as I can tell. Also, because the mainstream media has largely been derelict in its reporting duties here, there are surely some incidents that simply have not been documented.

Open season has been declared on Trump supporters.

Projecting where this goes from here is not pleasant.
