Violence is wrong! Period, end sentence, repeat - VIOLENCE IS WRONG! The etiology of the violence is not just the SCOTUS leaked preliminary opinion on abortion, but the inevitable outcome of the tyranny of the minority, theocratic, neo fascists who control the court and much of congress. When decisions that are essential to the lives of Americans are made overturning their accustomed to rights and freedoms revolution is a likely outcome. By ignoring stare decisis SCOTUS is directly responsible for the violence that ensues. These are not conservative justices, these are radicals who eviscerate precedent. They should be held responsible but other than impeachment, no remedies are available. On a brighter note than civil war, the republicans
are lead by a group of evangelical theocrats consisting mainly of elderly white men from rural America. The demographics are heavily against them: the fastest growing belief group in America are unaffiliated, agnostic, and atheist - and they are currently the largest group of Americans. (Larger than any stated religious affiliation) The Bible thumping theocrats are loud, have influence far outstripping their numbers, but are a dying breed. Darwin will prevail. As usual it is religion, the folks who brought us the crusades and the inquisition that leads the call for snot flying, crazy violence.
For now, we should abolish the filibuster, expand the court to 13 justices, codify ethics rules for SCOTUS, pass voting rights reform and prosecute Trump and his band of seditionists. I am hopeful that the Jan. 6 committee’s upcoming televised hearings will facilitate the latter. If Trump is re-elected, extreme violence, perhaps even civil war or secession are likely outcomes.

Totally agree with your last paragraph!
