They’re already violent. That barrier has been crossed. Antifa operates nationwide. A GOP leader in the House was shot and nearly killed, a GOP Senator battered and nearly killed. GOP officials have been surrounded by mobs at their homes and in private businesses. Death threats and rape threats are now common practice. Democratic Senators and Congressmen openly encourage mob violence as well.
We’re there. The question is what are we going to do about it. IMO the proper starting point is declare Antifa a terrorist organization and mass arrest its leaders.
none of this is new. it is standard far left playbook.
John F. Kerry’s “antiwar” group in the 1970s discussed plotting to kill congressmen until there was no more support for the war in Vietnam.
