Across the forums today, there’s a lot of talk about civil war and armed resistance, largely spurred by the misinformation about the warrant in the Trump classified documents case. If you missed that kerfuffle, Trump and far-righters have seized on standard language in that search warrant about the use of force and claimed that it’s proof Biden wanted to assassinate Trump during the search. The AP has a very good explainer here.
This highlights, once again, the bad faith engagement from these supporters and how misinformation can take advantage of their standing appetite for violence. As has been the case for months, there are no specific plans for any organized action, but discussions keep coming up that feed the rage which may set the stage for something closer to the election.
