A gunman broke into the Colorado Supreme Court yesterday—the one that recently removed Trump from the ballot—fired his gun and took a hostage before surrendering. We don’t know the gunman’s motivation yet—but we know the atmosphere of retaliation and threats that now dominates extremist thinking in America.
Vox reports “threats against public officials have risen to unprecedented numbers — to the point where 83 percent of Americans are now concerned about risks of political violence in their country. The threats are coming from across the political spectrum, but the most important ones in this regard emanate from the MAGA faithful. Trump’s most fanatical followers have created a situation where challenging him carries not only political risks but also personal ones.”
