Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

It's not clear in the article, nor logically, whether those death threats mostly came from the left. Right wingers tend to be a lot more willing to death threat (though we do have crazies on the left) and there have been accusations that the governor was trying to politically damage Trump and is a left wing plant.
I definitely agree that death threats are fucking awful regardless of who they're aimed at and by.
Nor if the threats are even real. Frankly, I don't believe them. What were the threats that they were so specific and imminent that they cancelled their fund raiser? What agencies are investigating these threats? I reserve judgement until I learn more about these threats and the investigations surrounding them, but I suspect that the GOP leadership knew the fund raiser was going to flop because of Noem so they chose to cancel it under the guise of these threats so they could play the victim.
This fits the test of their playbook. Be afraid of those big scare weak lazy liberals.
Animal activists such as PETA are known for threats and acts of violence.
Many don’t consider them to be right wingers.
Mmhmm. Which ballot is PETA trying to get on, again?
PETA. Those people who tell you how to live because of their morality? Who judge those outside their group as inferior? Who are horrible hypocrites who murder animals while espousing the opposite? People consider them leftists?
And you think those people are correct enough to give voice to their opinion.
There's a pipeline of people that go from granola to fascism. And that pipeline runs right through PETA.
I would say that the pipeline of left to right is through communism, not PETA, although my wife's vegan cousin has become explicitly pro-hamas in the last 6 months, so you may have a point.
Is she pro hamas or pro Palestinian civilian
As I said, explicitly pro-hamas.
