Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Almost as if letting key instigators go on instigating without consequences is a bad tactic...
Call me crazy, but I don't think the finger waggling and pleas to "do the right thing" are convincing those people.
Humans, you say? Well now I'm stumped.
It seems like it has to do with removing Trump from the ballot in case anybody was wondering.
That will surely get them to change their mind. Do people just not have self-preservation anymore? They likelihood that the person making these threats will be found is pretty high, I'm sure. So this person is risking their freedom. They so love for Trump?
People in cults don't act rational. In fact, cults frequently rely and require their members to act and think irrationally.
Threats of acts of terrorism are much cheaper than acts of terrorism. Both cause terror.
Look how easy it is to disrupt state governments. Maybe we should do something about it?
Clearly all this violence is an antifa false flag op /s
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Department spokesperson Bailey Martin said the agency was working with state and federal officials in investigating the threats.
Law enforcement officials in Florida, Massachusetts and Maine didn’t immediately respond to questions.
The agency added that it would "continue to work with our law enforcement partners to gather, share, and act upon threat information as it comes to our attention."
Federal officials have warned that public servants at all levels of government have faced a huge surge in threats in recent years.
In September, Attorney General Merrick Garland testified that government workers had seen an “astounding” number of such threats.
In addition, several government officials have faced, in just the last month, an uptick in “swattings” — when someone makes a false report of a crime in progress to draw police to a certain location.
