Just a feeling that the Trump/RW/GOP signalling its supporters to that is would be ok to harm physically, intimidate, suppress, repress and anything else because "the others" are the mortal enemy of the countryand law and order. Apposing Trump, RW, and GOP ideals is essentially unAmerican and even pro terrorist. It bothers me that so much vicious rhetoric, racism and even actions go unanswered in the media and public forum. Somehow even murdering the opposition would be ok in their view. Fox is getting even more ardent and spreading and increasing hatred. Fox and its talent are completely brazen about their intentions and agenda.
They are creating an undercurrent of extreme hostility toward "the other" as they see it. The fact that we are seeing so many reported and probably unreported displays of violence, harassment, intimidation and other hostile actions should be a warning that civility has really broken down. It is ok for the GOP and its RW allies to assault or harass people of color in particular. This new normal is very similar to the brown shirt tactics in Nazi Germany.
The fact that these really violent leaning Trump/GOP elements attack anyone who resists as being the violent ones needs to be understood. It is a validation that their tactics are ok and that victims MUST COMPLY with their treatment or else. And it is all a recipe for wider spread civil unrest.
The GOP wants the chaos to hide its looming plan to disrupt and invalidate the elections in a way that they win no matter what. And I believe the inciting rhetoric and incitement of hysteria will only grow moving forward. If the Democrats do make significant gains the GOP will claim the election was not valid and was "rigged" and will refuse to recognize the outcome.
