Seeing an escalation of violence in tons of tweets from the GOP about the IRS coming to get people. It's so stupid, but it's morphing into a call for violence against Dems.
As an aside....wait, are they trying to say that AR15s are dangerous now??

I thought the right wing loved guns. The more the better. Arm the teachers! Arm the students! Hell, arm the guns themselves.

Here's some militia recruitment on TikTok.
These people are absolutely convinced that "hiring more IRS agents" means they're going to come to Trump supporters' homes and take their guns.
This is a whole thread of it. They're raring for a fight.

On the far-right, "more IRS" agents doesn't mean more audits of people making more than $400,000, which is what it actually is.
They're expecting doorknock raids for guns at any moment. Not an exaggeration. It's Jade Helm 2.0.

You don't need to worry yourself too much further than lunch in the future, cause you ain't long for this world. Kindly stop trying to fuck it up further for those of us who will chortle and laugh once we hear of your demise.
