I am rather thinking that the attacks on Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez by some gung-go conservatives really appear to reflect sentiment that could lead to some real violent attempt being made against her or the rest of " The Squad "/others. You don't have to 100 percent agree with her on politics to think that this would be a bad thing! :x
I've seen all these news stories recently (I can't link):
A minor-league baseball team in California ran a July 4th patriotic message on their stadium's video screen of typical July 4th sentiments that then turned into attacking " enemies of freedom " - with AOC one of the faces shown to illustrate this concept 8O !
A gun store in Carolina put up a big billboard tagging " The Squad " as the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, and " Idiots "...signed " The Delporables ". The billboard company was saying that they did not approve of it and it would be taken down, but the gun shop owner said he would sue to protect his freedom of speech and that the billboard had really improved traffic in the store (So there's no leftier-wing people who ever buy guns? :? ).
Now, a bunch of Mitch McConnell supporters /workers calling themselves "Team Mitch " have posted a photo showing them posing with a life-sized cardboard AOC cutout - bending and choking her. McConnell's office acted all persecuted by the liberal media when this was brought up, saying that they weren't responsible and they were all high-school kids and getting all Covington about " they're trying to paint targets on their backs " or similar but at least some of the chokers are apparently adults and have been pictured in a more official Team Mitch picture.
Considering that she is a first-term House member...well, I don't think I have to topically look into this - Didn't Trump's base yell " Send them back! " and Cheez Doodles Bone Spurs say what " patriots " those yellers were? AOC may seem to claim she's in danger too much, but co soldering this, maybe some a***hole could go after her...and Fox News would cry crocodile tears, no doubt!

You don’t have to agree with any of her politics to know that would be a bad thing.

...Now, a man in Toledo, Ohio. has been arrested after posting on his Facebook that AOC " should be shot ", and his employer would load the gun for him. Contacted by the Capitol Police. he admitted to writing it and said was proud of it and yes, he had guns...he is a felon and had outstanding warrants for him in other states as well - Real brilliant dude. He's been arrested. and various charges against him could get him as much as 2t years.
Meanwhile, for " whatabout " time - a man in Buffalo, NY has been found guilty of leaving threatening voice mails on two Republican House member's machines, one of the two Steve Scailese, the man badly shot a while back. He faces a ten-ydar bid.
I don't know whether to say " St*t's gettin' SERIOUS " or " This is getting RIDICULOUS " :? :| . Perhaps both :P .
