Supporter,
Shocking new reporting this week from People For’s team at Right Wing
Watch highlights a dangerous and growing trend of escalation among
right-wing activists who are making threats of political violence –
particularly in support of Trump, the trials he’s facing and his
reelection campaign.
From Right Wing Watch:
Former Arkansas governor and failed presidential candidate Mike Huckabee
made a striking prediction on a recent episode of his Trinity
Broadcasting Network show, warning that if former President Donald Trump
fails to win the 2024 election because of his criminal indictments, “it
is going to be the last American election that will be decided by
ballots rather than bullets.”
In a healthy democratic system, it would be shocking for a major
political leader to make such a threat. But apocalyptic rhetoric and
threats of violence and civil war have become increasingly common among
right-wing leaders and far-right activists.

Unfortunately, Huckabee isn’t alone in making such alarming statements. In
just the past month, Right Wing Watch has reported on six other instances
of right-wing extremists making similar threats, with even more threats
reported throughout this year.
We cannot let our guard down and assume that simply because those involved
in the January 6 insurrection have recently been indicted or jailed, the
threat of political violence in the United States has gone away. Because
as Right Wing Watch’s reporting demonstrates, there are a growing number
of fanatics who will eagerly spread and inflame the same messages of
division, fear, and hatred.
To help counter these threats, it’s important to stay informed. Our team
at Right Wing Watch are often the first to report on such right-wing
extremists – routinely cited by large media outlets – so [ [link removed] ]be among the
