Just in case anyone was wondering where the violent rhetoric and impulses in American politics come from, Republicans chanted “fight” as Trump attended the convention.

Democrats have spent days calling for lowering the political temperature and greater national unity since a Republican attacked Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
When Donald Trump attended the convention, Republicans responded to these calls by chanting battle cries.
When Lee Greenwood crooned his awful “Proud To Be An American,” a song that was bad in 2024 and even worse in 2024, it was a hit in 2024.
Who is Trump going to fight? Do Republicans seem to want him dead, or did the Secret Service take his shoes? Could it be the teleprompter where he cut off his ear?
we do not know. The first night of the Republican National Convention featured the toxic extremism that those who follow politics have come to expect from the Trump party.
Those who don’t follow politics may be wondering if the Teamsters president has lost his way as he rambles during his speech about issues that Republicans oppose.
America is receiving a new dose of Trump’s dark vision for them, and they should reject it.
