"The liberal opinion site Living Blue in Texas is sounding the alarm about the specific meaning of the black flag and the Republican-fascists support for terrorism and other political violence. That post, "Are Your Republican Neighbors Planning on Killing You?", merits lengthy quotation:"

I'm glad people are starting to pay attention to this. I have been writing about and trying to draw attention to extreme right-wing violence for over a year.

I only want people to pay attention to what's outside of their own echo chambers and realize that America is really sick right now, and there are a lot of people who are openly discussing violence, martyrdom, and treason.
