Let's take stock of the past two years. First a mob attacked the Capitol on January 6, 2021, hoping to hang Mike Pence so that he couldn't announce that Donald Trump had lost the 2020 election.
Then six men tried to kidnap Governor Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan.
A couple of months ago a guy assaulted an FBI office with an AR-15 rifle because he was mad about the FBI's search of Mar-a-Lago.
Today a man broke into Nancy Pelosi's house, but couldn't find her so instead attacked her husband with a hammer.
Election workers have been quitting in droves thanks to threats on their lives from MAGA fans convinced they're stealing votes.
Ditto for MAGA threats against school board officials, librarians, and even the grand marshal of a July 4th parade.
An executive at Dominion Voting Systems was forced into hiding after furious Trump supporters put a million-dollar bounty on his head for allegedly switching votes from Trump to Joe Biden.
All of this is against the background of Trump's infamous campaign chant "Lock her up"; his continuing insistence that the 2020 election was stolen and Democrats need to be punished for it; and the increase of serious threats on right-wing social media.
Am I missing anything?
On the other side, one deluded guy wandered by Brett Kavanaugh's house this summer with vague thoughts of killing him. But he never did anything and shortly afterward called 911 on himself.
Again, am I missing anything?
What everyone is describing here with these examples is a society coming apart and lurching toward ever increasing violence over the course of am20+ years. OK City bombing was is 1993.
This is a civil war of sorts already. Getting worse faster than ever. How about you all just admit that we need to defeat the trumpist enemy? The country will fall apart. You can’t stop it. It’s going to happen. Prepare! 😂
Every trumpist has been laughing hysterically at what happened to Pelosi. Every damn one. They just wished Nancy got whacked with that hammer. Though I’m sure they love the fear she’s enduring now. Terrorism… that’s what this is.
This is the civil war too… sometimes it’s political. eventually it’s just tit for tat revenge. No doubt this is one of the gangs - let’s call them militants - attacking their enemy. This isn’t crime… it’s terrorism and war.

Don’t watch it if you can’t handle intense violence.
