The federal indictment of former President Donald J. Trump has sparked a disturbing wave of calls for violence and an uprising by his supporters. Close allies, including a member of Congress, have portrayed the indictment as an act of war and called for retribution, highlighting the fact that much of Trump’s base carries weapons. They’ve painted Trump as a victim of a weaponized Justice Department controlled by President Biden, his potential opponent in the 2024 election. Experts on political violence warn that threats or calls for violence by elected officials or prominent media figures create a dangerous atmosphere in which violence becomes more accepted.
Despite security precautions, the rhetoric and threats from Trump’s supporters are expected to grow as the case moves forward and the 2024 election draws closer. Figures on the right have a history of issuing calls for violence to support the former president, and Trump has appeared to summon his supporters to amass on his behalf before. The recent language used in response to Trump’s indictment echoes what took place among Republican officials and media figures last summer after the FBI searched Mar-a-Lago, Trump’s private club and residence in Florida.
