What's This About?

The broader context involves ongoing debates over police and immigration enforcement killings, state violence, and increasingly extreme rhetoric from some right-wing officials.[1][2] The post also ties into concerns about authoritarian tendencies and calls for or justification of political violence in U.S. political discourse.
