I read the Vox article you embedded and it didn't surprise me. Since the article was written the felon has released his kraken which only emboldens his base.
And we wonder why we don't have moderate people (either party) with great ideas running for office... especially at state and federal levels!
I am very careful about how I express my views because everybody knows where everybody lives out here.... and we've got an active gun culture here. The MAGA community here seems to be getting worked up and feverishly overexcited with all the blatant lies being force fed to them. This is not gonna end well imho.
Yep, that threat of violence is scary. And I feel like it has quite quickly become accepted as "normal" - members of Congress getting so many death threats that it is obviously influencing them, but people think that's just the way things are now. And then you have Trump taking away people's security details as punishment!

I am a moderate Independent that lives among a 60%+ MAGA voting county in a blue state https://www.zipdatamaps.com/counties/state/politics/map-of-partisan-voting-index-for-counties-in-washington
