The Bulwark

Political violence is an intolerable threat to our nation. It isn’t the only one.

Again an attempt on Donald Trump’s life is foiled, thank God and the Secret Service. And again the question arises: Isn’t the other side’s rhetoric getting a little too extreme?

JD Vance sure thinks so. “Look, we can disagree with one another. We can debate one another,” Trump’s running mate fretted at a Georgia Faith & Freedom Coalition event yesterday. “But we cannot tell the American people that one candidate is a fascist and if he is elected it’s going to be the end of American democracy.”
