In reading this article, I expected the exasperated tone of how unregulated weapon-owning conspiracy nuts were all but storming the homes of pious loyal public servants. But the last paragraph was just sooooo propagandish to stomach, even for me.

One witness was Adrian Fontes, the former county recorder for Maricopa County, Ariz., who described the scene in the parking lot outside the Maricopa County Elections Office in the days after the Nov. 3 vote, which would hand President Biden a narrow win in the state.
“We had armed almost-rioters in Maricopa County. We had Alex Jones and the Q Shaman, literally arm-in-arm shouting my name and shouting for other election officials in the parking lot,” he said, referring, respectively, to the InfoWars conspiracist and to the QAnon member who was later arrested for his role in the Jan. 6 insurrection.
“Their compatriots were armed with some pretty heavy-duty firearms. And I know because I was a range coach and marksmanship instructor in the Marine Corps," Fontes continued. "I know what kind of damage those weapons could do. And that was certainly no civil act of protest. That was not a grievance. The presence of those weapons in this environment was a threat.”
Experts say that underlying the violent threats is a bitter irony: Election workers displayed nothing short of heroism in administering a transparent, fully verified 2020 election with the highest turnout in American history in the middle of a global pandemic.
“They just pulled off probably one of the greatest stories in the history of American democracy,” Becker said. “And their reward is that they and their families are being targeted. ... It is absolutely demoralizing, because it's so divorced from reality and how successful they were.”
Oh my God,...I just want to puke, reading that. These delusional traitorous collaborators simply cannot be given any quarter. F@%k these guys.
