they got so comfortable... they at least used to hide under their hoods before.
To think, all they had to do was appeal to the lurking bigotry within societies to bring them out and normalize that sort of language. They are sort of screwed if they think they aren't sliding into a world where the evangelicals being radicalized and increasingly in control of the nation financing and supplying it will come asking for their pound of flesh when the shift into a theocratically-narrative-driven oligarchy is established, and then take the whole body.
Wouldn't that be a slight death threat? Or no, because he said he hoped it didn't happen, ignoring the tone?
"it would be a shame if something happened to your family"
it's a pretty standard form of threat in my opinion.
It's kinda hard to call that a threat. It's more accurate to say it's an accusation that the guy is a terrorist.
