Has anyone else noticed the very recent surge in anti liberal attacks?

Between NATO, Paris Climate deal, pro-trump instigators/agitators at rallies, comedians , etc it seems to me that there is a definite increase in the past two weeks. Are they feeling threatened?

to sound much worse than it is, maybe they thought if they continued to disparage us we would join them. It did not work, we are still here and plan to stay. The republicans have tried many ways of suppressing votes, they can't win in a straight up battle so they cheat.

They use the same m.o. that worked to shut people up in the 2016 election.
It appears any free speech is under attack as much now as it was in 2015/16. It is much more aggressive & encompasses anyone with a voice against the coup.

They now choose who gets the right to speak freely & who doesn't.

This administration has only one agenda: anti-liberalism. It's even hard to beleive that Kathy Griffin and Maher are completely accidental. They've been trying hard to take down Amy Shumer and Lena Dunham. I am praying for our dear Chelsea Handler. We all have to be vigilant what's happening to entertainment industry and monitor for any kinds of shifts in programming.
