I understand the violence is real...

..with the few (relatively speaking) Trumpers who have committed acts of violence and don't doubt some of those threatening violence would carry through. But when I see talk show hosts and United States Members of Congress falsely accuse Democrats of tyranny and weaponizing the DOJ/FBI which Trump already did, I'm inclined to think it's pure and simple intimidation. They think they can scare the rest of the country into letting the Trumpers have their way.

I also understand it will get worse before it gets better but Republican control will never get better after the worst.
