Would love for you to expand “already doing that” in relation to what I was suggesting. I do not see political opponents being physically attacked, I do not see/hear of any armed mobs actively physically trying to ‘take their country back’.
You already forgot about Paul Pelosi? The plot to kidnap the governor of Michigan? January 6th? Gabby Giffords? The Proud Boys? Charlottesville? Austin Combs? Kyle Rittenhouse?
Do you need me to keep going? I can name the armed mobs trying to ‘take their country back’ until the cows come home and barely scratch the surface.
There is nowhere to “ramp up the division” any further, it’s already at the point where the news simply can’t keep up with all the political violence in this country.
You already don’t ever hear about the FBI and Secret Service following up on death threats to politicians anymore, that stopped being a story decades ago. Bomb threats against institutions like schools are so common that word of them rarely escalates beyond the local area. Mass shootings occur regularly, but only the most egregious ones make the news.

I’m talking about as a response to him being murdered vs. not. Didn’t think i needed to explain the context of my comment.
Editing for the literal context from my original comment.
That is exactly the point I’m referring to.

America has been collapsing for decades now.
