Sure. Totally fine that an elected official is a primary reason for threats on a scientist. We're only missing the "confusing case" of someone "falling out of a window."

Watching Garland's testimony. MAGA GOPers are truly malignant ignorant morons. Gym Jordan! Matt Gaetz! The best the MAGA GOP has to offer!
Anyone who votes for these scumbags are just as malignant and ignorant.

Truly despicable fascists. "Republicans" congratulations as your cult seeks new depths in the defense of a convicted felon. GOP plans aggressive ‘weaponization’ investigations in wake of Trump conviction Congressional Republicans returned to Washington this week doubling down on their defense of former president Donald Trump after his conviction on 34 counts related to falsifying business records. Releasing a flurry of initial reactions in the hours after a New York jury deemed Trump a felon last week, his staunchest supporters are focusing on what they allege is a weaponized justice system by ramping up House investigations and stalling regular business in the Democratic-led Senate. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/06/04/gop-trump-house-weaponization-investigations/

Check it out around the 11 minute mark. "Republicans," please do provide a cogent response (haha!):

To sum it up in one word: Racists. A new look at the cultural insecurity of Trump supporters [H]ostility to social and cultural change is a hallmark of his party at the moment — particularly the large majority of his party that, like Johnson, is aligned with Trump. On Thursday, Pew Research Center released an extensive report looking at Americans’ views on questions about race, gender and cultural issues. It included questions that help delineate the unique ways in which Trump supporters view those issues and the extent to which insecurity about the status of White men, in particular, is elemental to the movement. There is research that shows that White Republicans are more triggered by reports of the decline in the density of the White population in America and that the idea of hard lines of racial identity is overly simplistic. Pew’s research makes obvious how the former concern manifests on the right. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/06/06/trump-supporters-polling-race-immigration/

Thanks for the chuckle, SS. A hypothetical "Republican" must feel like a chump for having bought GOP BS for the last, say, 50 years. It was all a lie. Stuart Stevens’ It Was All a Lie is a sustained attack, both jeremiad and confession, on the Republican party he served for 40 years. His is the hand at Belshazzar’s political feast: “All of these immutable truths turned out to be marketing slogans. None of it meant anything. I was the guy working for Bernie Madoff who actually thought we were really smart and just crushing the market.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/aug/02/it-was-all-a-lie-review-trump-republican-partyWhat is important to understand is that Donald Trump didn’t change the Republican Party, he revealed it. As painful as it is for some of us to admit, the Republican party is no longer a traditional American political party, it is an autocratic movement. myfivethings.com/class/stuart-stevens-the-conspiracy-to-end-america/

This is similar to what I have said previously. When I was a Republican, I really was making good faith arguments and thought fellow Republicans were as well. When I realized I was wrong (circa 2016, but, as I said, I started having suspicions earlier) and a lot of Republicans were just tamping down their utter rottenness that Trump allowed them to unleash, I felt incredibly stupid and sincerely regretful.
