I used to pooh-pooh my DH when he talked of arming ourselves and stocking up on foods and goods. This story shows how the temperament and mood of the country is changing.
I firmly believe it started really ramping up with Algore. The next election cycle brought slashed tires and break ins at local area Republican offices (even for small town races because it happened to a relative).
Now we have people getting beat up at rallies and other events, right out in the open.
What a fight we have on our hands....a dirty fight where the stakes are our freedom.
I only hope we can stand together and defeat our enemies from within.
Bumping your post... I completely identify with every word you wrote.
