Is this the first election where that's happened, or does this kind of thing happen often? It's, what, 20% of the population who've been given threats on their safety based on how they vote?

… Isn't that illegal?

Even the “Proud Boys” are doing this? I thought they weren’t radicals, everything I’ve seen makes it look like the protest peacefully and watch the protests to prevent violence. I knew they were aligned with Trump, nonetheless I guess I was wrong. Never really looked into them anyway, just liked their polos as I love Fred Perry.

Not surprising though. It’s so funny how all these people think they’re fighting for “democracy” when they’re trying to threaten people into voting for certain candidates.

We did some sleuthing (by “we”, I mean other-people-but-I-was-there-too) and it turns out that that's a copycat domain. So it's not the Proud Boys. It probably is members of the organisation, but the domain shouldn't be considered evidence that the leaders are involved.

Organisations can't really be divided into “radicals” and “not radicals” like that. There's a heuristic I came up with to work out how likely it is for certain people to promote violence against innocents (roughly determined by how well they uphold a certain set of philosophies) – but I'm not certain how good the heuristic is, because in addition to (retroactively) predicting the usual horribleness, it also says I'm much more likely to cause violence than someone like Richard Stallman.
