With JD Vance and all the fake populism, and now this. I don't see any other path than the fascist one. Might be best to start looking at options to flee this hellhole.

UPDATE: They now have on a member of the Steamfitters union who is a "lifelong Democrat"... Yeah it's pretty much over

Who is he openly threatening? And people have a right to run for office. What you claim makes no sense at all. Riding in a car can be dangerous. That doesn't mean that it's your fault if some drunk runs a red light and kills you.

I don't really care what the law says someone can do, when you threaten immigrants, queer people, and so on, you shouldn't be surprised if someone fights in their self-defense. The fact that the state says that its violence is legal and other violence is illegal has no bearing on that.

Of course, that isn't what happened, the shooter was a dumb kid with no clear motive since he had mixed political affiliation, but we're just speaking in hypotheticals here.
