Kari Lake wasn’t hiding what she was attempting to say. Probably the most ardent Trump cultists like Lake have taken probably the most excessive place to defend Trump. Lake threatened the Lawyer Normal of the USA, and by extension, the USA authorities, with armed violence if Donald Trump is prosecuted.
Earlier than the 1/6 assault on the Capitol, Lake’s feedback may need been seen as excessive and doubtlessly harmful political rhetoric, however in a post-1/6 America, her feedback tackle a special and extra sinister context.
The MAGAs are a minority in the USA. Trump and his supporters are dropping. Their chief is about to go on trial and could possibly be imprisoned for the remainder of his life.
When political extremists are a minority who can’t achieve energy by means of reputable means, they usually see violence as an appropriate path to energy.
