Mr. Pelosi can tell us there is good reason to fear for our lives if Republicans win the midterms.

There never were riots after American elections until trump came along. There were never "rigged elections" or "fake news" This is all recent and radical.

Correct: Hillary supporters/leftists were (and still are) a dangerous bunch.

"Rigged elections" new? Hardly. For example: Chicago is famous for its history of people voting from the grave and for helping President John F. Kennedy "steal" the 1960 election.

"Fake news". The MSM has been notorious for their 'fake news' output. But it is not "new".

Misinformation has been around in many different forms since the advent of print news 500 years ago, even before verified, objective journalism became a standard. According to Politico (opens in new tab), fake news has always leaned “sensationalist and extreme, designed to inflame passions and prejudices.” Pamphlets about witchcraft in the 16th and 17th centuries led to witch-hunts and murder. War propaganda was created to incite anger and fear toward the opponent, inspiring support for the American Revolution, the Spanish-American War, and the World Wars.

Fake news examples have also come in the form of hoaxes, such as Orson Welles’ notorious 1938 radio broadcast about an alien invasion that led many listeners to panic. It has also been wielded to make a profit. You’ve seen it in grocery store aisles for years–outrageous tabloid headlines propagating dubious celebrity rumors, conspiracy theories, and urban legends. Fake news is not new. But now it’s digital.

There were riots in 2016 when Trump was elected...

It's almost becoming a tradition

I am called a leftist but I am not dangerous to anybody. For 17 years now I have been an elected public official .---very small but I have worked both physically and on the bureaucratic side to turn a system of goat trails consisting of less than a mile into very drivable streets. My fellow committee members are Republicans and we work together and support each other. Working together we have provided needed signage-installed culverts provided drainage and laid down thousands of yards of gravel . We are all volunteers working with a small budget and we have made a much better neighborhood. I have been honest and hard working and I have nothing to be ashamed of.

You might be called a ‘leftist’ - but are you really one?
