Summary
The US began 2025 with a wave of violent incidents, including an ISIS-inspired truck attack in New Orleans that killed 14, a suicide bombing at the Trump International Hotel in Las Vegas, and the FBI’s largest-ever seizure of explosives in Virginia.
Experts warn of increasing risks fueled by political polarization, extremist rhetoric, and global conflicts like the Gaza war.
While overall support for political violence has declined, even a small percentage translates to millions of Americans willing to act.
The number of armed dissidents does not need to be a majority of the population. The government itself has direct control of the police and the military. Those groups are already weaponized to commit acts of political violence, they will continue to do so under the Trump regime. Particularly as mass deportations begin.
Don’t worry, the military and police would start acting when the peaceful protests against violence start.
