I do understand the idea that existential fear can lead to violence. If I truly believed that the democracy was at stake and that all of the legal avenues were exhausted, I can definitely contemplate avenues that I wouldn’t have contemplated previously. I think that the average Republican voter is being purposefully misguided into that by their party.

I think that’s what makes the Republican party so egregious… they trap their audiences in these echo chambers, radicalize them and then downplay the Nazi flags and mass shootings as a few bad apples. However hate and antagonizing others is being shown to be the likely outcome for any being that has been fed a steady diet of existential angst and conspiracies.
