This is literally terrorism. They are literally trying to manipulate elections by threatening people. It does not matter if the threat is hollow, it is STILL TERRORISM. This needs to be treated seriously and the police should be hunting down the people who distributed those fliers. The community should be hunting them down. There are ring doorbells everywhere. There are traffic cameras everywhere. These people's cellphone pings will show them walking door to door. They can be found, and they should be found.

This is not a partisan issue, everyone should be working together to root out terrorists from society. Even if you hate Trump these terrorists will turn on you eventually over something else. This is not an acceptable behavior.

Assuming it's real, and not just more propaganda to rile people up. It's literally a picture of a piece of paper, I don't think it's good to get too worked up over it without more explanation, a troll could make this in 15 minutes, and just post a picture on the internet. Who knows if this actually got posted to any homes, or anything like that. All the rips and tape just add to the authenticity but I'm not sure if it's real

This type of image posted to the internet is exactly the kind of false flag media nonsense that tries to goad people in to violence, in to a state of affairs where the military-industrial complex would have even more complete control than they already do. Don't fall for the tricks

According to a reverse image search, first record of it was on tmz.

Thats the link.

They call these kinds of threats "disinformation"?

Or are they claiming these are hoaxes, and hence that's the disinformation? They're not very clear on that.

Not too sure. I just know this is the first instance of this image on the internet from what I could find. I don't know much about tmz, or where they got the image from only that they used it.

TMZ often is the source for many shooting psyop footage. TMZ is entertainment not news. Likely this post is perception mamagement.
