I think a lot of us have known this is what it would come to. In 2016 in Trump's first presidential run, even before the election took place, the writing was already on the wall - this will not end peacefully.
The cult was fully developed by then. They were already fueled by anger and revenge. Then Covid threw in a curveball, but I guess things are back on track now. The fascist tools were always going to call for violence against "the left" (I'd even argue that they'd been calling for violence all along, just less overtly.) There's nothing we could have done to stop that - fascists gonna fasc.
I don't know about you, but to me it just feels like the other shoe is finally dropping. It merely took 9 years to get here.
