Your analysis is spot on! I was unaware of many of the details you presented and your understanding of the cause and effects are eye opening. For example, it always struck me as peculiar that the Pelosi attacker used a hammer but your comparison with McCarthy’s gavel threat really illuminates the relationship. I never knew the extent of Whitmer’s kidnappers elaborate plans. Thank you for writing a well-thought concise opinion. I will keep this in my notes app for a handy retort when I have to explain my horror of another Trump administration.

Thank you, Christine for your insightful feedback! It was only by researching and then writing that I, too, began to see the connections between the violent speech and violent acts. The gavel connection was especially eerie. The irresponsibility (at best) or deadly intentions (at worst) of the speakers and their effect on easily manipulated individuals has for too long been easily and often overlooked. Love your follow-up plan...very strategic! -- TRG
