As scary as this moment is, remember that support for political violence went DOWN after the July 2024 assassination attempt against Trump, not up www.pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1...

Prepping another episode for rebroadcast, this December 2022 RPR from Sarah @laistirland.bsky.social again seems almost quaint given recent developments (not to mention the conspicuous silence of these conspiracy-mongers following the last elections): youtu.be/b5gCTiXtgNw #PhilSky #philosophy
