I get that it's the MAGAs who are doing the death threats. But doesn't this mean that they always assumed they could launch these threatening strategies against Lefties thinking that we would never turn around and repeat their example?
It's an odd situation. I had a close relative that was a bully, and also taught the rest of the family that I was, somehow, the person they could relieve their stress by repeating her example. As we grew to be adults and they continued the old patterns, when I asked them to stop, they claimed I was too sensitive. I thought it was a strange family dynamic. Somehow, they expected me to accept the taunts and ridicule. It was my role in the family. The only real way to stop them is to return the toxic behavior, though, when I did, they said I was just being mean. In the end, I resolved it by walking away.
But I see the same thing happening at a national level. We have the MAGAs who think this form of behavior is normal. And the rest of us who see it as a toxic situation that we want no part of. Not sure the healthy way out of this where we're still able talk to each other and respect each other.
