Republicans Embrace Political Violence
Since Trump was first elected in 2016, violent threats against members of Congress have increased more than 10 times.
Trump's Republican Party has fully embraced a biblical culture war that is mainstreaming hate speech used by Christian nationalists and white supremacists who believe that armed confrontation with the U.S. government is inevitable. A majority of Republicans now support violence to stop the decline of the “traditional American way of life,” and “declaring the US a Christian nation”.
