When you read these stories, your first thought is how far gone a certain segment of our polity is. While Trump was more symptom than cause of the Rightist Rot in America, he certainly has normalized a sort of violent rhetoric that was largely absent from mainstream politicians.
But I also think that most of these people are cowards and blowhards and do not represent a real threat to the people they are harassing. However, it only takes one person to act on this, and I'm afraid it's just a matter of time before someone gets killed. Or rather get killed again.
