Colorado Secretary Of State ‘Extremely Concerned’ About Pro-Trump Violence
Jena Griswold received 64 death threats and more than 900 threats of abuse within three weeks of the case being filed to keep Trump off the state ballot.
Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold said Wednesday she is “extremely concerned” about fanatical supporters of Donald Trump becoming violent in response to the state Supreme Court ruling that Trump is ineligible to appear on Colorado’s 2024 presidential primary ballot.
“I’ve been concerned about violence and threats of violence since Donald Trump incited the insurrection,” Griswold, who has been Colorado’s Democratic secretary of state since 2019, said in an interview. “I’ve received hundreds if not thousands of threats at this point.”
She’s faced an astounding uptick in threats amid the lawsuit over Trump’s eligibility to appear on the state ballot, even though she has nothing to do with it. The case, which was brought in September by the group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, was filed by six unaffiliated and Republican voters in Colorado.
Those are only to be used against leftists.
Why would the security state attack their own goons they radicalized for the purpose empowering the executive branch.
It's frustrating how much of the current programs run by governments like America or group projects like IMF, are built to repress our natural need as helpful, social animals.
Conservatives have built the system to monitor, repress, or stifle left (human well-being focused) movements.
Boolshit. The government knows where the threats lie. But here's the thing; The government has to play by the rules. And those rules are hard and fast, cannot be broken. The bad actors do not have such inhibitions.
The bad actors are taking advantage. They've figured it out.

Even just saying the government has to play by the rules is laughable. Whose gonna make them?
It takes time. They have to sort through which threats are credible, how they are connected, etc. Things like this help to expose extremists. They'll come out of the woodwork, bit by bit. Plus, it reminds the more moderate people that Trumpers are bat-shit-crazy. Most people would be embarrassed by Trump and his supporters. Some will be so embarrassed that they'll vote against him even if they somehow like him otherwise. Lets not forget how emotional they are.
It may seem like this is bad all the way around... but I really believe they just need time
