The rising violence at public town halls...concerning?

Billions of dollars worth of damage and innocent people died. I don't excuse the few violent people on j6.
1,500 arrests at the Capitol. Five deaths, one by shooting, involved in the riot. 400 in jail from one incident.

30,000 arrested from the Summer of 20 protests, more than 4,000 incarcerated, most of them to this day.

Stay calm and balanced, please.
 
With the rising incidence of violence at town hall meetings...Copilot AI noted: A report by the National League of Cities found that 87% of local officials observed an increase in attacks on public officials, and 81% reported experiencing harassment, threats, or violence themselves.

This got me thinking...in the Civil War (1861-65), the US population was 31 million. The Democrats (50-55% in the South favoring slavery), and the Republicans (35-40% in the North against slavery). Weapons were primitive, and probably not readily available.

Today, the population is 347 million...Democrats 49%, and Republicans 48%. Weapons are sophisticated, and readily available.

Is there anything to be concerned about? If so, I think it would be about my family's finances, and personal safety...and all of society. Warranted?
