"But neither has this rhetoric been tried in modern American politics."
Until Trump and Vance and a Republican party that's now a driver of overt fascism came on the scene….

"He and his campaign team believe that by using the tactics of the 1930s, they can win. The deliberate dehumanization of whole groups of people; the references to police, to violence, to the 'bloodbath' that Trump has said will unfold if he doesn’t win; the cultivation of hatred not only against immigrants but also against political opponents—none of this has been used successfully in modern American politics."

"then you can much more easily arrest them, deprive them of rights, exclude them, or even kill them. If they are parasites, they aren’t human. If they are vermin, they don’t get to enjoy freedom of speech, or freedoms of any kind. And if you squash them, you won’t be held accountable.
Until recently, this kind of language was not a normal part of American presidential politics."

Anne Applebaum hears Hitler, Stalin, and Mussolini in what Trump is saying openly as the election nears:
"If you connect your opponents with disease, illness, and poisoned blood, if you dehumanize them as insects or animals, if you speak of squashing them or cleansing them as if they were pests or bacteria," (continued in /10)

"It’s a stark escalation over the last month of what some experts in political rhetoric, fascism, and immigration say is a strong echo of authoritarians and Nazi ideology."

“From a mainstream candidate, I don’t think we’ve seen this kind of tapping into the most vicious, nativist, racial backlash. He doesn’t even really use code words or anything. He’s just all in.”

The Dear Leader's supporters are trying to make it hard for Democrats to get out the vote in a state where the presidential election is likely to be close. This should not be a minor story.

“Remember,” #Vance said of #Trump, “he said that on January the 6th, the protesters ought to protest peacefully. And on January the 20th, what happened? Joe Biden became the president. Donald Trump left the White House.”
This accounting was short a few details—the #violence, the #deaths & #injuries, the alleged #criminal #conspiracy, the “Hang Mike Pence” of it all.

So apparently the #Trump supporters are shooting at #Harris campaign offices now, and I think it really underlines something about the #violence that Trump has inspired this election cycle, and how there is this clear split in how it's being carried out.
Trump has inspired two people to shoot at him this summer: an anti-election anarchist, and an elderly man with a criminal record. While this is obviously really bad for reasons that have already been enumerated, it's also targeted entirely at a single person with power.
Trump has also inspired numerous people to shoot up schools, churches, synagogues, Walmarts, and now a Harris campaign office. These pro-Trump shooters aren't even targeting people who might have the power to do something, they're just targeting bystanders.
I hope this doesn't scare people away from publicly showing support for Harris, and that people remember that, if nothing else, they can't see who you vote for.
