Unfortunately, because of donald trump, this is going to be a historic election, chris. but for all the wrong reasons. historic because the political polarization is at historic levels. the disinformation is at historic levels. the attitudes towards political violence, as you pointed out, are at historic levels. the volume of threats from extremist groups around the country are at historic levels. and we are also seeing direct threats to public officials and absolutely historic levels. i can backup every single one of those things with statistics. this is an unprecedented election in terms of the fear and division and violence. i would agree with you. i worry it could boil over should donald trump not get what he wants. we already have precedent for. that and we are seeing an intimidation bubble up within the republican party. today i saw videos of ron desantis being mercilessly mocked and stop all the way up, almost to his hotel room in iowa and it wasn t by
