:-/ We're well past the beginning. Three guys took pot-shots at Trump on the campaign trail, ffs. And two Minnesota state reps were gunned down in June. That's not even counting the daily War On Elementary Schools And Minority Frequented Big Box Retailers that splatter the headlines. Or the white nationalists lined up along the border who have been gunning down anyone who looks brown and on the wrong side of the fence for... decades.
You can trace this ugly inflammatory political violence back to Gabby Giffords, back to Oklahoma City, back to MLK and JFK/RFK, back to Emmitt Till. We're long past a beginning.
Trump also pardoned the Jan 6th lot, that was kinda political violence
