Publicly Apposing Trump Or GOP Could Get You Attacked & Even Killed. Sign Of The New Normal.

As the NRA, RW Militias, White Supremacists et al call for violence against Trump protesters and critics and GOP apponents we are reaching a new normal or "abnormal". It is really notable how many people who have openly apposed the GOP or Trump are getting death threats and hate responses when they go public. This new reality is a real threat to our country.

Targeting progressives, liberal, browns, blacks, LGBT, and like groups is reaching a new level of hostility and threat. And such threats come mostly from the RW and conservatives even though the meme that the left is the violent side continues to play.

Lately protesters of the GOP health care plans are the new target of these extremist elements. The attack on media personnel and their families with publishing their personal information should be treated like any other threat. Arrests should be made though I doubt that will happen with our DOJ and infiltrated police forces.

Unless things change there is no chance the country will be together on anything. And we will slip into an era of incivility and civil unrest.

Some of the latest RW rhetoric and bombast signals real dangers ahead. The RW seems to be determined to silence any other message but their own.
