WOW this
@Reuters
piece:

Virtually all of the 850+ threatening and hostile messages -- spanning 30 jurisdictions in 16 states -- aimed at election officials and staff were supportive of Trump or echoed his lie that the election was stolen.

3. I feel like I'm reading a history of 1930s Europe.

tRump's mostly personal and underplanned internal coup failed so far, but the plan of the big RW power blocs to use elections to overthrow the republic has been proceeding before and since. We're watching them accelerate their attacks in plain view.

Regarding promises of violence from subversives, I've had a theory that I believe more all the time, that the GOP's refusal to consider any gun control in this century, their dismantling of existing controls, AND their spread of military weaponry across the nation, has been part of a plot to overthrow the government all along.

By far most voters want and need the safety and stability of law and order, strong conservatives revere it. SOP for overthrow of republics is to frighten and destabilize by creating violent disorder, attacks on the laws, chaos, targeting the established institutions to be taken over. Then answer the electorate's anxious demand for strong authoritarian leadership (from both right and left) by helping them successfully elect it to power.
