I think this is a tipping point.
After the horror of what happened sank in, that was pretty much my first thought.
When Charlie Kirk was killed, I saw posts on facebook about how we libs had to watch out because his murder was the "turning point". I guess the threat was they were going to get worse than they already are.
They ain't seen nothin' yet.
