"Ahead of the July Fourth holiday and the country's 249th birthday, three-quarters of Americans say democracy is under serious threat, according to a new NPR/PBS News/Marist poll.

Nearly three-quarters also see politically motivated violence as a major problem.

The findings come at a time of great political volatility. In the midst of Donald Trump's second term as president, the country is polarized and sharply divided.

The U.S. is grappling with what it means to be American, who is essential to its story, who belongs, who doesn't and which direction the country should take — all while Americans are expressing very little faith in its political leadership, the survey finds."

Continued thread

Trump’s sweeping #pardons of #Jan6 insurgents have led to worries about actions being taken against #attorneys involved in the massive prosecution of the >1,500 #Trump supporters who stormed the Capitol as lawmakers met to certify President Joe #Biden’s election victory. Trump pardoned or commuted the sentences of all of them on his first day back…, releasing from prison people convicted of #SeditiousConspiracy & #violent #assault on police.

"Lawmakers were assassinated and wounded by a right-wing, religious extremist pretending to be a police officer and yet this story has completely faded from the national media."
-S Watts

"Melissa, Mark, & their Golden Retriever Gilbert will lie in state on Fri, Jun 27. The Capitol will be open for members of the public to pay their respects..."

Remember them.

"Trump agreeing with the idea of🚨unleashing law enforcement on judges right when the judiciary just capitulated to him bigly. I don't know why this doesn't penetrate with the robed sages but he simply pockets every grant of unchecked power & is only emboldened to pursue more abuses."
-G Sargent

What began as horror & condemnation has evolved into a coord effort to keep the backlash alive & to use it as a catalyst to weaken Lee ahead of 2028.

Lee sparked widespread backlash after posting on X:🚨“this is what happens When Marxists don’t get their way,” in resp to the shooting that left MN st Rep Hortman/husb dead.

In another post, he appeared to link the shooter to Gov Walz.

All R MOC must be shamed for their loyalty to Trump...

Alternet.org · 'Going to be ready': Dems say Mike Lee's assassination joke 'broke something open in Utah'By Ailia Zehra

"Safety concerns are already prompting lawmakers to change the way they live, esp in places like MN *has a civic culture that promotes close contact with constituents."

The blame is on GOP MOC *must shame them 24/7. Trump has always been a lawless, traitorous, soulless mobster *uses #threats, bribes, extortion..

The GOP could've chosen not to christen him as their 2024 nominee. They're resp for suffering, deaths, destroyed lives, livelihoods...
