The increasingly brazen endorsement of political violence by the GOP is a tremendously dangerous development that warrants high-profile media coverage.
NEWS --> Mark Robinson, the MAGA extremist GOP nominee for governor in North Carolina, appeared to endorse political violence against unnamed foes in a recent speech. "Some folks need killing!" he shouted. "It's a matter of necessity!" Video and story here: newrepublic.com/article/1834...
MAGA Gov Candidate’s Ugly, Hateful Rant: “Some Folks Need Killing!”newrepublic.com Mark Robinson, the GOP nominee for governor in North Carolina, has a long history of incendiary comments. But he may have topped himself this time.

Looks like Robinson thinks he’s going to be the king of North Carolina. The Federalist Society Six, in its immunity decision, have unleashed radicalized MAGA candidates who think they have unlimited power. It’s going to get worse.

Instead, it gets a complete pass or is treated as a mild eccentricity.

I believe the NYTimes editorial staff generally backed violence against peaceful student protestors

They 100% did. See also BLM and Occupy.

It's escalating way too fast to be ignored. This is how civil wars start in the modern day, and when they happen, they don't look like the original. Civil wars today look like splintering: urban insurgencies and gangs all fighting each other over territory, political massacres, etc.

It's not two sides shooting at each other over a field anymore. It's multiple factions controlling parts of a city. This escalation in a country as divided and gun-loving as the United States is a terrifying prospect.

It's been going for a while - a previous Senate candidate in MO advocating hunting for RINOs with no bag limits. They assume the Trump asymmetry of judgement ("I can do what I want and you can do what the law (or I) allows") will apply to them as well. I wish them disappointment in that.

What is sad is he will probably win. :| And once more when I try to tell my parents I can't visit them because my presence there is illegal they will scoff and say that's ridiculous...as I literally point out the law stating anything people like me do in their state is illegal.

He's still trailing the Dem nominee
