Right-Wing extremist violence has been evident ever since Trump rose to power and encouraged it. It goes back to native American slaughters, slavery, and the Klu Klux Klan, and elsewhere, of course, but was most disturbing on the January 6 coup attempt by Trumpist fanatics that injured scores and killed a few. The insurrectionists who broke into the Capitol that terrible day called out for V.P., Mike Pence, and Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, with intent to kill. It was not a joke. It was deadly serious, and people died.
And today, it is reported that one of the fanatics broke into Nancy Pelosi's home asking, "Where's Nancy", and proceeded to use a hammer to violently assault Nancy Pelosi's 82-year-old husband.
The threats of Right-Wing extremist violence are flooding our country, and this assault is a loud shout that violence is their chosen path.
Damn.
How do we convince this Trump Cult that we are neighbors, not enemies?
(Update - the guy is apparently a QAnon, election denier, who said "Hitler did nothing wrong". I'd like to write him off as a nutcase, but the delusions of election deniers and QAnon are widely held in today's delusional Republican Party.) Sadly.
