Have you noticed that the only presidential assassins and would-be assassins in our history have been men (or women) of the Left?
I frankly held my breath for eight years waiting for some idiot to take a shot at Obama. That no one did is strongly indicative of the patience and maturity of the Right — or at the very least, the sure and certain knowledge that something like that would have been the end of the Second Amendment, and the beginning of the Third War for American Independence.* Or the Second Civil War, anyway.
The joke was that Biden was Obama’s insurance against impeachment or assassination. I don’t think so. For the former, it would never have flown to impeach him. For the latter, the Right wasn’t about to give the Left that opening — because anyone with any sense knew that would be the end of the Republic.**
Personally, I don’t expect the Left to keep its powder dry for the next four years. I hope like hell I’m wrong.
