"It is the kind of story that, not long ago, would’ve frozen the entire country. Instead, for most, it feels like background noise.

That’s what’s most alarming. Not just the violence, but how ordinary it now feels. We’ve been trained to accept political violence as if it’s just another day."

Fascist regimes feed on and breed violence. Violence is their raison d'être. They extend violence by normalizing it, making it appear everyday.

Patrick Murphy comments on how quickly the violent attack on the family of Pennsylvania governor Josh Shapiro receded from the news, and what this says about us:

"Perhaps the most dangerous thing about political violence today isn’t the violence itself. It’s how quickly we scroll past it.

That’s what happened this past weekend in Pennsylvania."

That trump had nothing to say about the attempt to kill Gov. Josh Shapiro during Passover tells you one thing: All of trump's own attempts to destroy academia by claiming the universities haven't done enough to keep Jewish students safe is a pack of lies. Trump doesn't care about Jewish students OR Jews. He cares only about turning all American culture and education over to white Christian nationalists who, like him, are the real anti-semites. #Jews #universities #JoshShapiro

The fire chief in Harrisburg, where Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro's residence is located, has described the firebombing as a "domestic terrorism incident." The man suspected of starting the fire, Cody Balmer, was denied bail at his arraignment today. He had previously expressed disdain for Democrats on social media — sources said his complaints were primarily related to financial issues. After turning himself in, Balmer allegedly told police he would have attacked Shapiro with the hammer he used to break a window at the governor's mansion. Here's more from @abc.

I think it's pretty clear from the suspect's criminal background that he has a history of mental illness. I think it's also clear that he harbors some...red hat-wearing political viewpoints.

I don't think those two things are unconnected.
