Political violence is a very real concern, and one that may be broader than we can control with our voting system. Our political choices balance on a tightrope that easily can harm any minority, anyone who disagrees with you or anyone who has a different faith. Historically politicians have used fear campaigns to distort almost every single issue. Political violence has been used effectively by both liberal and conservative groups; both parties have always managed to find some one else to be the responsible 'bad' person.
Mr. Hartman's research and citations are, as always, timely and impeccable, however, in all fairness it raises deep, foundational questions that many people have been troubled by:
"Dr. Fauci is sure he is right, and he has had enough of those making different choices than his guidance: “I respect people’s freedom, but when you’re talking about a public health crisis, that we’ve been going through now for well over a year and a half, the time is come, enough is enough.” Let’s not hide Fauci’s plain meaning, I respect people’s freedom to do what I tell them.
The basic human right to decide what goes into your body is now being reversed.
You are to take all the vaccines Dr. Fauci and Pfizer deem necessary. They—not you—will decide the parameters of your freedom, with Ferguson and Caplan cheering them on. Rest easy, like Robespierre, the fallible decisions of Dr. Fauci, politicians, bureaucrats and cronies are for “the common good.”
With freedom redefined, there will be no need to take personal responsibility for your health decisions. Those who don’t go along with official guidance must be dealt with. Ban them from travel, from schools, and from employment. In Ferguson and Caplan’s Rousseauian view, society is merely expunging those that won’t take a knee to whatever is proclaimed the common good."
As US District Judge Reggie Walton, a Bush appointee, said this week when sentencing a January 6th insurrectionist:
“I think our democracy is in trouble because, unfortunately, we have charlatans like our former president who doesn’t, in my view, really care about democracy but only about power.”
Whether America should add political violence to our existing hate crime laws, create a new category of political hate crime, or deal with our crisis of political violence in some other way is best left to a healthy debate within our legislative branch of government.
I think there's an analogy to "You can't yell 'fire' in a crowded theatre." Because it endangers your fellow citizens. Why do you, unmasked/unvacced/unquarantined, have a right to be a danger to me? Unvacced, you are volunteering to be a variant-breeder, thanks a lot. 24 more died of Covid in Shasta County this week, "freedom" capitol of CA. Freedom to get sick, and a significant percentage will be impaired for life. But who else are you taking the risk for? "No man is an island" is now just a raised middle finger, a knee-jerk 2-year-old tantrum. We have a diagnosis of "chronic oppositional disorder;" that's what you have reduced the concept of "freedom" to.
What's not recognized here is the difference between fairly elected representatives making and enforcing laws for the common good and unelected people taking the law into their own hands.
What would it take for you TB, polio, Ebola? You, just like all those who choose the no-vax route, are free to die, create conspiracies that don't exist, and demonize the experts all you want to. This ISN'T Shanghai. I just wish you good health, because Covid is a horrible thing to experience for many and an even worse way to die before your time.

The 'terrorism' we have allowed corporations to practice for the last 50 years by looking the other way as the revolving doors (https://research.ncsu.edu/ges/files/2017/11/2011-Kuzma-Revolving-Door-between-Regulatory-Agencies-Agricultural-and-Environmental-Ethics.pdf) between their CEOs and community regulatory agencies such as, the FDA, CDC, and WHO, has flourished, really has been effective terrorism, with a fear component equal to a major war. The terrorism we have allowed by setting non-profit organizations such as the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation up to become the 2nd largest funding source and influence for WHO (https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2020/04/who-funds-world-health-organization-un-coronavirus-pandemic-covid-trump/) is scary in many respects. In particular since GAVI is also shows the same foundation as a major funding source (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GAVI).
