A rising number of young people are embracing the idea that political violence is acceptable, thanks in part to increasingly hysterical Democratic rhetoric and the tolerance of blatant acts of violence on the national stage.

Bootleggers and Baptists. The public choice economist Bruce Yandle coined the phrase to describe how apparently opposed groups might have a shared interest in government regulation — in that case, Prohibition.
