Local election candidates facing intimidation, harassment across U.S.
With fewer than four months until the election, it's not just the national races that are drawing harassment, intimidation and threats, but local candidates as well. Harassment of local officials, both Democrats and Republicans, has increased by 55% over the past two years, according to a new study.

People pooh-pooh the Civil Rights workers who protested segregation on buses like Rosa Parks, those who protested at lunch counters and those hit by fire houses, as not doing much; it would have changed anyway. But those people were trained to deal with hostile counter-actions by the public as well as by public agents and their actions did change the country for the better. The problem today is that poll workers and the like haven't been trained to deal with fascist tactics and similar stuff by agents working for a political party and its causes. This video starts with someone calling books "pornographic" and wanting to ban them from school libraries. Again, good people haven't been trained how to deal with McCarthyism-style actions, and attack back saying "We don't ban books in America; you're wrong and anti-American to want to. And we're not going to waste time defending every book you might mention, when educators have already evaluated them for their merits."

No. None needed. These tactics are criminal, and deeply offensive. That is the topic of this news article. Also, I need to ask, does your question imply, that "some" public officials deserve this type of treatment? The ones who "can't do it right" and need to be intimidated into it? Just wondering.

Because the Domestic-Taliban (MAGA) doesn't agree with them. It's been this way since 2016. The only difference between The Taliban and Domestic Taliban, is the religion.

Political terrorism is an American Tradition as seen from African Americans' perspective, knowing the history of African Americans who suffered through the Civil Rights Era.

Sounds like Jim Crow to me. This is why many (not all) deep in that movement don't want African American history taught. Citizens won't be able to see how the ideological inheritors of that bigotry are using the same play book of intimidation to silence the next wave of change they are afraid of.
Why is the U.S. like this? You never see behavior like this in other modern countries. This is banana republic stuff.
You are not doing your job as journalists if you're saying both sides are doing it equally. This is just useless journalism.
A person from the news media saying "I don't know what's happening to us as a country" is honestly the most hypocritical statement...If the media was for facts and truth only, we wouldn't be in this situation to begin with🤨
Which party is most likely using these tactics?
