In present day American political culture, civility is seen as weakness and rational discussion is dead. Death threats toward politicians, who may not support "correct policies" on any given issue, are appalling in both frequency and tone.
From PJMedia:
In a post Thursday at far-left antifa website Incendiary News, an activist advocated for revolutionaries to rise up and "slaughter" what he called "fascistic Border Patrol dogs and their bosses," Far Left Watch reported on Friday.
Disturbingly, far-left activists have in recent months become more brazenly militant and violent in their rhetoric on their websites and social media, as PJ Media has documented here, here, here, here, and here.

The election of Donald Trump was a severe jolt to the so-called establishment on both sides of the aisle and activated seditionist ole George to open up his purse strings and fund ANTIFA, a euphemistically termed anti-hate group.
From AFA:
ANTIFA is actually a radical communist group. Their funding comes mainly from George Soros, and thus, they get paid to be a “fly in the ointment.” They claim lofty ideals, but all they really stand for is radical communism. In doing some research for this blog, I watched several videos on ANTIFA, the Berkeley riots, and other ANTIFA related groups around the world. ANTIFA’s main tactic is chaos, shouting down anyone with whom they disagree with calls of fascist, racist, bigot, etc. Entire article
ANTIFA is becoming more unhinged and dangerous. Their street "soldiers" are primarily useful idiots, but the elitist drivers behind them as well as of other resistance groups are deadly serious. A deadly increase of violence continues to grow.
The entire Kavanaugh nomination/hearing process is the epitome of elitist manipulated activism. Rape threats against Susan Collins and her staff are horrendous enough. However, the callousness And hypocrisy of Eric Swalwell's (D) reaction is eye opening to say the least..
From The Federalist:
Early Thursday morning, the Democratic congressman replied to news that Sen. Susan Collins said her office had received numerous nasty voicemails, including a rape threat, by tweeting: “Boo hoo hoo. You’re a senator who police will protect. A sexual assault victim can’t sleep in her home tonight because of threats. Where are you sleeping? She’s on her own while you and your @SenateGOP colleagues try to rush her through a hearing.”...
Senate staffers generally do not have police protection, which means it is likely this threatened staffer is traveling to and from work without any sort of a security detail. Swalwell’s assertion that threats of rape are unimportant because Collins has a security detail doesn’t make any sense in this context. It’s also hugely hypocritical compared to the frequent Democrat accusation that Republicans don’t care about sexual assault. continue
What Kavanaugh's family is now going through exemplifies the Leftist approach to free speech.
From Great American Politics:May ‘Your Kids BURN IN HELL’ – Libs Target Kavanaugh Daughters With Death Threats:
Not only do liberals not want Brett Kavanaugh confirmed to the Supreme Court, but they’re willing to do whatever it takes to make sure his life is destroyed – including threatening the lives of his wife and young daughters. more
On a slightly different but related note, unfortunately many female candidates both Dem & GOP are targets for harassment.
From the NYT:
Four days before the 2016 congressional primary in her Northern California district, Erin Schrode woke up to tens of thousands of messages. They were everywhere: in her email, on her cellphone, on her Facebook and her Twitter and her Instagram.
“All would laugh with glee as they gang raped her and then bashed her bagel eating brains in,” one said.
“It’d be amusing to see her take twenty or so for 8 or 10 hours,” another said, again suggesting gang-rape. entire article
Talk about misogyny!
Manipulated unbridled hatred is no longer creeping into our culture. The Kavanaugh hearings, the latest upset for the elites, has apparently driven them out of the closet. If they lose SCOTUS, the ramifications for them could be insurmountable and they know it.
America, be prepared!
