It almost happened already when James Hodgkinson tried to kill republicans playing baseball....

I agree with her. The hate the left foments will result in a murder. And democrats will turn their heads to it just like they did with the violence they allowed during "the summer of love."......... They normalized it. Now it is perfectly acceptable to loot a CVS with immunity.

Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine) told The New York Times the country has seen an “erosion of any boundaries” that now enables political violence.

“I wouldn’t be surprised if a senator or House member were killed,” Collins told the newspaper. “What started with abusive phone calls is now translating into active threats of violence and real violence.”

Angry calls to lawmakers’ offices are nothing new in Washington, but Collins is one of many elected officials who experienced an inundation of violent threats in recent months amid an increasingly divisive political environment.

An unknown visitor recently smashed a storm window at her home in Bangor, Maine, the Times reported. Others have visited her home to peacefully protest, although Collins still called the police on at least one occasion.

“There’s been a sea change in that we now see this constant escalation and erosion of any boundaries of what is acceptable behavior, and it has crossed over into actual violence,” Collins told the Times.
