As you’ve said, if we’re seeing this now, no one - absolutely no one - should be shocked to see it later. And trump is delighting in his latest power play against the governor. Thrilled and elated, I’m sure. This is exactly the “winning” he was gloating about and his supporters recognize it. They love it.

It’s not inconceivable these goons with guns actually start shooting and “take over” a state house at some point. The SPLC has plenty of info online about these groups. I’ll suggest people read up and form their own conclusions. It’s reasonable to be concerned and mentally prepared. At the very least, informed.
