I have a problem with this headline. There's no evidence in this report or in the source article of an actual "wave of political violence" against these officials. They mention the shooting of Charlie Kirk and of the two Democratic politicians in Minnesota. Neither seem to be part of any wave that would target these politicians who are moving into cheap or free housing on military bases. The headline unnecessarily legitimizes their paranoia and their excuses.
Steven Miller had to move because of sidewalk chalk outside his house. His wife bravely told reporters they would not back down or cower in fear to the peaceful protests, then he sold his house and ran away.
Brave Sir Stephen ran away,
Bravely ran away, away.
When ~~danger~~ mild criticism reared its ugly head, he bravely turned his tail and fled.
Edit: thank you Nastybutler

You're right. Wouldn't want to give him more credit than he deserves.
The chalk terrorism.
It's hilarious that you thought the same thing when reading Typhoon's comment...🤣

Having people know where he lives was scary enough for him. He knows what he's done and he knows no one is happy with it. In America, it's only a matter of time. They all talk a good talk when they are standing behind the military, get them alone on the street and they are just scared little boys without their Mamas.
Oh we'll know where he lives til it's six feet under. No hiding for that shit

Welcome to the modern media, they act as the 4th branch of the government and are instrumental in normalization of fascist lies. Journalistic integrity is hard to come by.

That's all part of the playbook
They know that there is no precedent for such violence against them specifically. But they are also extrapolating, correctly I think, that people will want to kill them for what they are planning to do, above even what they are currently doing.
