Last week, we gathered with other scholars at Ground Zero for a summit on terrorism and political violence. The mood was somber, not only because of reflections on 9/11 but also because of pained predictions of violence to come. It would have surprised nobody in attendance had they been told another assassination attempt against the former president would occur days later.
This was, of course, not merely the second assassination attempt against Donald Trump. There have been many more plots over the past several years — aimed at politicians of all stripes — that never reached the point of gunfire being exchanged. The plots are indicative of a broader zeitgeist: We are under heightened threat of political violence.
For instance, recent Republican rhetoric against a community of Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio, led to dozens of bomb threats against that community, closing schools and hospitals. In October 2022, a man attacked the husband of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a Democrat, during an attempt to kidnap her. In 2020, authorities foiled a plot to kidnap Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan.
There is a distinct and frightening possibility of a violent wave of assassination attempts and domestic terrorism now breaking, not only against the former president but also against Democratic officials and groups, Trump scapegoats and Trump supporters.
During this presidential election, both Democrats and Republicans are framing the other side as an existential threat to the country, and so unstable individuals are being inundated with messages that have exacerbated an already volatile situation. This feeds violence before election day, but that won’t be the end: Imagine what could happen following the election.

Jacob and Colin are are telling the Lefties it is open season on Trump.
It sure seems to me the last guy is part of a conspiracy he is maybe a nut but not a random nut.
The way he set up like a hunter, knew how to get in and where and when. Connected with national and international players who were motivated to set him in motion.
This is bs. The much gov was a plot by govt operatives. The palouse thing was a gay lover thing. What absolute bs.
These authors appear to be FBI operatives.
I continue to think that there is the possibility that Kamala will get 120 million ballots at the last minute on the first Tuesday in November.
And on the first Wednesday in November, Trump may say, “Wait a minute ...”
And at that moment the FBI will grab him for his “second insurrection”, they will throw him in a cell, and he will never come out. They will start disappearing people. They won’t waste time with trials.
Jacob Ware and Colin P. Clarke should know that all of the bomb threats were from overseas.
1) Foreign hoaxes
2) A Berkeley radical nut.
3) A fed op.
Then Civil War begins
Turns Out Those Bomb Threats In Springfield, OH Were Originating Overseas

Those two “people” also made it clear if Trump loses, there WILL be violence. They also said if the HO loses there MAY be violence. Projecting much boys????
So far ONLY THE LEFT has attacked. Sounds like Violence is a given with the LEFT regardless of how they made it sound it in their article in the LA Slimes.
Yeah, it’s going to be a nightmare with President Harris.
“...recent Republican rhetoric against a community of Haitian migrants in Springfield, Ohio.”
Get back to us, Ware and Clarke, when your one-third of your towns’ population is suddenly poor, uneducated, non-English-speaking third world moochers who are here “temporarily,” your towns’ landlords are kicking out decade-long tenants to TRIPLE the rent paid by the NGOs, your car crashes, car deaths and unlicensed/uninsured drivers with no driving experience go up 10X, and crime soars. Let us know how you feel about it.
We do seem to be on a path to civil war.
My thought on that:
It’s easy to think that one side or the other wants to “win” the civil war. After they “win” they can impose their political preferences on the “losers”. Maybe ANTIFA will set up a dictatorship after the bloodletting is done.
But I don’t see it that way. I think that the people who seem to be pushing us toward civil war (Soros?) just hate America. They want to destroy the whole thing. Destroy the Constitution. Destroy Freedom. They don’t care if either side “wins”. They don’t care what happens “after”. They just want the war. The blood. The division. They want destruction and the “winners” and “losers” do not matter at all.
Anyone who thinks “If it comes to civil war, I think we can take those guys!” is missing the key concept: everyone loses everything the moment it starts. That’s what the bad guys are counting on.
For instance, *people noticing that Haitians eat people’s pet cats* in Springfield, Ohio, led to dozens of bomb threats against that community *by foreign actors, not Republicans*, closing schools and hospitals.
In October 2022, a man attacked the husband of former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a Democrat, *following a perverted sex session.*
In 2020, authorities *composed, recruited, and arrested patsies for* a plot to kidnap Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer of Michigan.
There, fixed those.
If the Communist Party wins this election, Trump and everyone of his relatives will spend the rest of their lives in Gitmo...
We absolutely know how things worked in the former Soviet Union...
It will be exactly the same in this latest U.S. version of the Soviet Union...
This is the left’s way of absolving themselves from blame by saying the violence is cutting across the entire political spectrum. Whenever there is bad news for Democrats the media will report that it’s also bad for Republicans too.
The bomb threats have already been shown to be hoaxes from overseas.
The alleged kidnap scheme of whitmer, was debunked as well.
This is just a fear mongering article.
