Be careful out there. The threat of violence<\/a> continues to escalate, as we always feared it would. And Trump’s indictment<\/a> (gift link) is going to ramp up their fear and anger to a ever-more-fevered pitch.<\/p>\n

\u2018We Need to Start Killing\u2019: Trump\u2019s Far-Right Supporters Are Threatening Civil War<\/strong><\/p>\n

Within minutes of Trump\u2019s indictment, supporters lit up social media platforms with violent threats and calls for civil war.<\/em><\/p>\n

In what is becoming a now all-too-familiar trend, former President Donald Trump\u2019s far-right supporters have threatened civil war after news broke Thursday that the former president was indicted for allegedly taking classified documents from the White House without permission.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to start killing these traitorous fuckstains,\u201d wrote one Trump supporter on The Donald, a rabidly pro-Trump message board that played a key role in planning the January 6 attack on the Capitol….<\/p>\n

Trump supporters are making specific threats too. In one post on The Donald titled, \u201cA little bit about Merrick Garland, his wife, his daughters,\u201d a user shared a link to an article about the attorney general\u2019s children.<\/p>\n

Under the post, another user replied: \u201cHis children are fair game as far as I\u2019m concerned.\u201d…\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

ETA:<\/strong> In my post on violence, linked above, I talked about how many of my leftist friends had started to buy guns of their own. With that happening, I found these events<\/a> also unsurprising. As progressive people secure guns of their own, they typically schedule time at gun ranges to practice. This is the responsible thing to do as a new gun owner, to learn how to handle your weapon.<\/p>\n

Gun ranges are spaces mostly controlled and visited by right-wing, conservative people. And so this happens:<\/p>\n

They went to a gun range for a birthday celebration. Then came the threats from right-wing extremists.<\/strong><\/p>\n

…The employee commented that Loder was a \u201clong way from home,\u201d the letter said, which struck several of the friends as unusual and concerning.<\/p>\n

\u201cHer tone and expression suggested some sort of interest in Mr. Loder and their personal information,\u201d the letter said.<\/p>\n

That evening, right-wing social media accounts \u2014 with a history of targeting transgender people and progressive policies \u2014 posted about Loder and their friends. One Twitter account said Loder was spotted in Mission Valley that night with \u201cwell-known members of SD Antifa.\u201d Another Twitter user, whose videos celebrate his own violent clashes with protesters, wrote: \u201cHeard Chad Loder is in town gonna head downtown to say hi!\u201d<\/p>\n

Loder\u2019s friends are not associated with Antifa, Loder said, but were unnerved by the posts….<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

No harm has come of this so far, as near as I can tell. But the threats are clear.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
