MAGA’s Violent Threats Are Warping Life in America
MAGA’s Violent Threats Are Warping Life in America
Nowhere is this more true than in red states.
Threats? We have people murdering their parents. How about violent actions.
*Still a good article worth the read.
64There are probably thousands of times more threats than actions.

MAGA is the largest terrorist threat this country has faced since the 1860s
30Terrorism, in its broadest sense, is the use of intentional violence and fear to achieve political or ideological aims.
Good. Fucking. Point.

Of course given it’s the current NYT a follow up article noting how this is bad for President Biden will surely follow.
I mean emboldened fascist ideology normalizing violence to achieve political ends is bad but Biden is old so they’re basically the same threat.
29I see you didn't read the article.

“You keep speaking, and I’ll stand guard.” We need more of that. Much more.
17Yeah, that’s an A+ officer
6That’s an American. A real American.

That part was beautiful.

Decent people should do everything in their power to marginalize MAGAts.
12That's a funny way of saying shoot them

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Amid the constant drumbeat of sensational news stories — the scandals, the legal rulings, the wild political gambits — it’s sometimes easy to overlook the deeper trends that are shaping American life.
Late last month, I listened to a fascinating NPR interview with the journalists Michael Isikoff and Daniel Klaidman regarding their new book, “Find Me the Votes,” about Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
Willis received an assassination threat so specific that one evening she had to leave her office incognito while a body double wearing a bulletproof vest courageously pretended to be her and offered a target for any possible incoming fire.
For those unfamiliar, swatting is a terrifying act of intimidation in which someone calls law enforcement and falsely claims a violent crime is in process at the target’s address.
In my own Tennessee community, doctors and nurses who advocated wearing masks in schools were targets of screaming, threatening right-wing activists, who told one man, “We know who you are” and “We will find you.”
In the summer of 2021, I received a quite direct threat after I’d written a series of pieces opposing bans on teaching critical race theory in public schools.
The original article contains 1,103 words, the summary contains 198 words. Saved 82%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
8That's called PATRIOTISM! Unless LIBRULS do something similar like Protesting in which case THAT'S Terrorism!
1Odd to me that anyone could miss the sarcasm.
