Media: The Right is more violent and extreme and they need to tone down the rhetoric Reality:

I think the left is underestimating Susan Collins in Maine.

Christian nationalist pastor Joel Webbon says that since people will never give up democracy and the right to vote, they must be taken away by force: "Virtuous, ambitious, masculine men have to climb the ladder of power and forcefully take away from the people that which is their detriment."

Something you're seeing today is that one of the signature characteristics of the left insurgents is they are very graceless about winning. They got what they wanted in Maine, but instead of pivoting to bring people in and beat Susan Collins they're doing ongoing factionalism.
