(6,576 posts)More generally, from right wing extremists, all of whom seem to be Republicans.
To be clear: I'm NOT talking about initiating violence, proactively attacking anyone or anything. I'm talking about it in the defensive sense. For example, if there's another attack on our Capitol or other part of our government it will require violence to defend the US & put down the insurrection.

(9,760 posts)my family needs to be armed. This truly sickens me, but I'm terrified by the radical right that, as we're seeing more and more, are proud to be thugs and are encouraged both by their peers & their leaders to be cruel & violent.

Those visitors have the same SA rights... Right?
