If you didn’t need further evidence that Donald Trump is the single most destructive force in this nation’s political history (Other than racism), even after the coup, even after siccing his MAGAs on the FBI, he already has various state officials in serious fear regarding the mid-term elections because they are already getting so many threats.

Put short and sweet. It seems like “Unless the MAGAs win,” states believe that there will be violence. Unbelievable. It is “accepted knowledge” that Democrats trust the system, and if they lose, they lose, kinda like how Lynn Cheney approached it.

According to Bloomberg:

State elections officials say they’re seeing an uptick in a new kind of social media-fueled danger to US midterms: online anger that threatens to spill over into real-world violence.

In Arizona, online conspiracy theories resulted in so many harassing phone calls to the secretary of state’s office, employees had to take a break from answering. In Michigan, officials have seen such a flood of violent rhetoric online that this week they sent letters to tech company CEOs pleading with them to do more to control their platforms.

Bloomberg reached out to all 50 secretaries of state and spoke with representatives of 12 offices, from Texas to Hawaii. All of those who commented said they’ve seen an increase in online suspicion about the electoral process.

Arizona is going to blow up because it sure seems like Mark Kelly is destined to beat Blake Masters (In any good world, Mark Kelly should beat Blake Masters), and Kari Lake is SO “out there” that she could also easily lose, losses which would send the MAGAs into even more seriously dangerous territory. There is something wrong with the Republican party everywhere – Donald Trump – but it seems especially intense in Arizona.

Hopefully, Trump dives right into this race and does what he did last time, allows Democrats to win both Houses.
