Maybe James T. Hodgkinson, the guy that shot Rep. Steve Scalise, liked Bruce Springsteen's "Jack of All Trades".

 Trump has only been president for 147 days. He's inspired the 1st terrorist attack on Republicans since maybe the 1930s.

There's a change coming. People with no political ideology using assault rifles for revenge against politicians or political donors. 
Lyrics 
... 
The banker man grows fatter, the working man grows thin
It's all happened before and it'll happen again
It'll happen again, they'll bet your life
I'm a Jack of all trades and, darling, we'll be alright 

Now sometimes tomorrow comes soaked in treasure and blood
Here we stood the drought, now we'll stand the flood
There's a new world coming, I can see the light
I'm a Jack of all trades, we'll be alright 

So you use what you've got, and you learn to make do
You take the old, you make it new
If I had me a gun, I'd find the bastards and shoot 'em on sight
I'm a Jack of all trades, we'll be alright
I'm a Jack of all trades, we'll be alright

Released: 2012 

Genre: Rock

 "When I first listened to  Bruce Springsteen's ;Jack of All Trades' I cried like a baby. That 'Jack of All Trades' is my Dad. 

In the run up to the 2016 elections hate and fear is manifest on all sides, even non-voters and people who ignore elections are concerned. 

That hate of course includes the 60% Republican xenophobic, "Christian", anti-government racists who see Donald Trump or Ted Cruze as their national savior. 

But there is a universal malaise, a solid rational base for that hate and fear that grips all of us.

The loss of friends and family members in needless and very long wars that we were tricked into supporting by people who would profit from those wars, fear of losing all that you have if you get sick, steady loss of real income over 4 decades, fear of terrorist attacks, fear that your children will be shot and killed in school, fear that ends won't meet and like so many others you could be homeless. We had 15 years of disappointment and fear. 

There's an underlying hate that's universal. It's hatred of the Wall Street bankers that caused the depression of 2007 and ruined so very many peoples lives…

See:


Trump has only been president for 147 days. He's inspired the 1st terrorist attack on Republicans since maybe the 1930s.

Most terrorist attacks in the United States for about the last 17 years are almost exclusively right wing terrorist attacks. Their politics is almost exclusively white supremacist. The stuff they believe in ranges from plain old Southern racist KKK bigotry to unbelievable tinfoil hat stuff like believing that white people are descended from space aliens.
“The “Solutreans” are a crucial component of de Nugent’s ideological perspective. He explains his racism with a convoluted theory about space aliens, “Reptilians” and intergalactic warfare. In his telling, true Aryans are descended from “Exonordic” aliens, a perfect race that is at war with the Reptilians. Other aliens (called “Grey Aliens”) are allied with the Jews, who the Grey Aliens are helping in their quest to achieve world domination. Or, as de Nugent puts it: “What we now understand is that our race colonized this earth, but was long ago separated by a cataclysmic nuclear war from the home planets. The stories of the gods reflect actual visits to earth by actual, highly evolved relatives of ourselves. The ‘ancient aliens’ theory being promoted now non-stop on TV (by the Jews who own the TV networks) is partly valid, but the Jewish media refuses to highlight the huge role of the Exonordics, and focuses instead on the Grays and the Reptilian species, because the Jews themselves are allied with THEM. Earth is just one battlefield of an ongoing war in our entire Milky Way galaxy between the Exonordics and the Reptilians.”

De Nugent’s solution to the Judeo-Grey Alien alliance is to move true Nordic white people into “White safety zones,” such as a region comprising Ohio, Pennsylvania, Kentucky and West Virginia. De Nugent justifies this in part by arguing that these states are ancestral white lands, relying on a discredited theory that North America was initially inhabited, for over 10,000 years, by white Europeans who eventually were exterminated by American Indian tribes. De Nugent believes that his “Solutrean Solution” will restore proper ownership to lands that rightfully belong to white Europeans.”

Change is happening. A single lone terrorist attack from a guy who hates Republicans and probably their donors too. 

I believe we are entering a time when not only right wing extremists with nonsense Nazi style beliefs will, out of desperation, take to violent actions. 

It's more like revenge against people they consider to be oppressing them than political resistance. 

Anyone in the U.S. can buy an AR-15 style rifle and 100 rounds for about $1000. That's the high end. 

------------------------------------------
The wealthy, especially Donald Trump’s wealthy associates, most Republicans and some Democrats are creating a world of a very few extremely wealthy people, a tiny middle class and a preponderance of poor and extremely poor people. 
That world cannot stand for long: 


  • The wealthy will go gently, with reforms like increasing the minimum wage and guaranteed health care for everyone. 
  • Or they can go hard and violently, their lives taken and their homes burned. 

The "Extremism experts" are too locked in to following extremist groups to see that just plain ordinary people can pick up an assault rifle & ammo for $600 and blaze away at any republican or Wall Street banker in his sights. There's a change coming. People with no political ideology using assault rifles for revenge against politicians or political donors.
