REPUBLICAN STOCHASTIC TERRORISM
Here's your modern Republican Party:
Just hours after a list began circulating among right-wing media of FBI agents who signed off on the search warrant for Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago property, a former Trump aide tried to sic MAGA fans on the family members of the purported agents.
Garrett Ziegler ... took to Telegram to post the personal information of men he identified as agents.
"This is one of the two feds who signed the 'Receipt for Property' form, which detailed—at a very high level—the fishing expedition that the FBI performed at Mar-a-Lago," Ziegler said on both Truth Social and Telegram.
The former Trump administration staffer that worked under White House trade adviser Peter Navarro further listed out the FBI agents' date of birth, work emails and linked to alleged family members' social media accounts.
"Hope he doesn't get a good night's sleep for the rest of 2022," Ziegler wrote on Truth Social, responding to another Truth Social user's photos of one of the alleged FBI officials who signed off on the inventory receipts on the warrant.
Also:
Threats against the Florida judge who signed the warrant allowing the FBI to search former President Donald Trump's home earlier this week have led the synagogue where he is a member to cancel Friday's beachfront service.
... The judge's address and other personal information were shared online, and threats on his life were made.
Reinhart is Jewish and a member of Temple Beth David in Palm Beach Gardens, a Conservative synagogue where he also serves on the board of trustees....
Friday's 6:30 p.m. service, led by Cantor Danielle Bensimhon, the synagogue's leader, was scrapped in the wake of those threats.
This is the new normal. Just as we've all concluded that, because of Republican intransigence, there's nothing we can do about mass shootings with AR-15s in America and we all simply have to get used to the idea that there'll be a multiple murder with a weapon of war every few weeks in America, we're rapidly approaching the point where anything that offends Republicans will result in the doxxing of the responsible parties, with threats of violence as the inevitable consequence.
Soon -- again because of Republican intransigence -- we'll conclude that we simply can't prevent this, and anyone who engages in conduct that upsets Republicans will need to invest in extra security and urge every peripheral person who might be affected to do the same. America will be divided into two nations: Republicans and those terrorized or potentially terrorized by Republicans.
We can still avoid this outcome. But as with mass firearm slaughter, we probably won't.

I wonder what those who so strenuously condemned protests at Supreme Court justices homes following the Roe decision think about right wing attempts to harass the families of FBI agents who were just doing their job.
I don't remember you ever condemning doxxing done by Democrats to harass Republican pols, or threats made to Supreme Court justices....who are just doing their jobs
What you do not remember is immaterial, entirely superfluous!
Is this supposed to be a joke? Democrats are now mad about Doxxing and intimidation?
Why? Should they not be ?
Maybe I could take Democrats seriously if they haven't cheered on the doxxing of justices, the protests outside their homes and screaming at people in restaurants.
Isn't this self evident to you?
“Democrats are now mad about Doxxing and intimidation?”
No, they’re mad because somebody else is using their playbook.
Terror and intimidation has long been a standard part of the Republican playbook. How many abortion doctors did they murder? How many abortion clinics did they blow up? How many patients trying to enter a Planned Parenthood clinic did they intimidate and threaten? Many.

Forty-one bombings
Why do you assume that all violent anti-abortion activists were Repubs?
Who?
Tearing America apart.
