The Spin
Republican narrative
Democrats have long been promoting the idea that America will descend into a dictatorship in the event of Donald Trump returning to the White House, so it should come as no surprise that someone decided to act on such inflammatory rhetoric. This shooting must serve as a warning for them to stop heightening tensions.
Democratic narrative
There must indeed be an effort to stop fueling tensions, but this applies to the GOP as much as anyone: Making unsubstantiated and outrageous claims that Joe Biden and his allies are responsible for Saturday's violence only serves to add fuel to the flame and guarantees an even more unsafe political climate in the lead up to November.
