McAfee had decision ready a week ago. Delayed it due to threats to him and his family.

I wonder if anyone could provide an example of a "MAGA Trump extremist" launching a lethal attack against a political opponent.

Delusional January 6th anecdotes need not be mentioned.

"In early 2021, Richer was an Arizona Republican official "

"But at one event, the crowd heckled and harassed him. When he tried to leave, they dragged him back in, yanking on his arms and shoulders, to berate him about the allegedly stolen 2020 election."

"Across the board and around the country, data reveals that threats against public officials have risen to unprecedented numbers"

"In 2016, the Capitol Police recorded fewer than 900 threats against members of Congress. In 2017, that figure more than quadrupled, per data provided by the Capitol Police."

"In September, three journalists at the Washington Post reviewed FEC filings to assess how much candidates for the House and Senate were spending on security. They found an overall increase of 500 percent between 2020 and 2022."

"The death threats aren’t just directed at politicians in Washington. Data has shown extraordinary levels of threats against mayors, federal judges, election administrators, public health officials, and even school board members. "

And yes, most of this is threats, not actual action.

That doesn't mean it won't happen. We know human nature and we know the more you put threats out there, the more confident people get, the more it could turn to violence. You want to dismiss 6th January because... that was the biggest case of violence that came about from this. Their confidence got hit on that day. They thought they could up the stakes and they hit a brick wall. Doesn't mean their confidence isn't building up again.
 
It's on ABC, linked in the twitter post.
Nothing in the OP twitter post takes me to ABC, and no key word search or phrase search does either.
