Candidates running for House and Senate offices increased campaign spending on security by more than 500 percent between the 2020 election and the 2022 midterms, a new Washington Post analysis of filings with the Federal Election Commission found, a measure of the extraordinary rise in threats against elected officials in recent years and the country’s increasingly volatile political climate.

"Maxine Waters encourages supporters to harass Trump administration officials"

“Let’s make sure we show up wherever we have to show up. And if you see anybody from that Cabinet in a restaurant, in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you create a crowd. And you push back on them. And you tell them they’re not welcome anymore, anywhere. We’ve got to get the children connected to their parents,”

You do.

You've been arguing for that since I've been on JPP.

You want to use government as a weapon against your imagined political enemies because the people you support can't win elections based on the merits of their policies or ideas.

Everything you believe is utter shit and the only way any of it gets into society is via force and violence.

It wasn't me who once belonged to a domestic terrorist group that I had to distance myself from....

If any of your beliefs or positions were widely shared, you'd have no problem finding candidates and winning elections based on those messages.

But you can't and it's not because you're being suppressed by anyone...it's because what you say and believe is shit.

again, with your delusions.........did they change your medication? The ONLY reason 3rd parties don't get elected is that brainwashed idiots, like you, listen to all of the hate spewed by your power hungry party officials with no ability to think for yourself.
