William Lindsey :toad:<p>&quot;For a decade now, Trump has feds his supporters with ever more lavish displays of violence – ugly threats and smears, mass deportations, harsh reprisals against foes, an attack on the Capitol. The episodic violence serve as totems of their tribalism. Over time, it takes ever greater shows of violence to feed the hunger for it. The next performative violence must out-do what came before.&quot;</p><p><a href="https://toad.social/tags/VanceBoelter" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>VanceBoelter</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Trump</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/Republicans" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Republicans</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/violence" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>violence</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/bullying" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>bullying</span></a> <a href="https://toad.social/tags/thuggery" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>thuggery</span></a><br />/17</p>
William Lindsey :toad:<p>&quot;While political violence has been a recurring feature of American political life, what marks the Trump era and makes it so different is that the president of the United States has immersed himself with almost gleeful fascination in violent threats, themes, urges, and impulses.

William Lindsey :toad:<p>&quot;Trump has made clear over and over that he approves of violence done in his name, and that he believes that his enemies — whether protestors, Democratic leaders, or his own vice president — deserve to be physically harmed.

William Lindsey :toad:<p>This election cycle, there are reports from all over the place of widespread stealing of Harris-Walz signs. Here&#39;s one (see the link below) from Springfield, Missouri.</p><p>This is coercion and bullying, widespread stealing of signs designed to shut people up and tell them what they&#39;ll get if they don&#39;t comply. It&#39;s violence.

William Lindsey :toad:<p>It all begins, always, with coercion. It begins with bullying and acts of accelerating violence.
