The Spin

TheThese Americanreports are unsurprising because America's far right is creating some of the most incendiary rhetoric the country has ever seen. Reports that election threats are on the rise are unsurprising, especiallyincluding whentelling millions of Trump supporters are being told that Democrats are trying to kill their preferred candidatehim. While the Biden administration seekswants to cool things down, the Trump camp continues to incite hatred against Democrats, immigrants, and the government.

The New York Times The Washington Post

The Democrat-controlled DHS, whichcan't isbe thetrusted. sameIt agencyhas that's given over $1B to illegal immigrants over the last two years and left rural American voters with no aid, cannot be trusted. The same government agencies also refused to give proper secret service protection to theirTrump, political opponents and worked with Big Tech to censor speech. The Biden administration is the biggest election threat, but it's projecting its crimes onto conservatives.

Townhall The Federalist

If it seems like every US presidential election is more important than the last, that's because the government has designed it that way. For decades, the executive branch has been given moreincreased and more power, effectively turning it into an autocracy;. andIn in order to grow this power, the government exaggerates threats to scare the American voters. Both Democratic and Republican presidents are guilty of creating the unnecessary fear and anxiety felt every four years.
