its a holiday, a party. where you're supposed to be stepping away from the depressing shit about reality to have some fun. spend the other 350 days a year clutching your pearls in fear that someone (a tiny Infinitesimal percentage of society that is radicalized or mentally ill etc ) is coming for you and your way of life or whatever. there's a difference between being concerned with things, and becoming fanatical about them, letting them leak into every corner of your life and brain until it just becomes part of your personality and normal people roll their eyes at you behind your back lol
also, heres a reality check for you. people get their houses broken into all day every day in this country, and get attacked with hammers and knives and everything else. you only give a shit about this one because they're an elite that banners your political ideologies and it has political motivations that you can latch onto to validate your bipartisan hatred that has, like i said, leaked into your brain. and guise it as "fear"

Respectfully I think it’s a problem when anyone gets their house broken into. I don’t really find a need to jump to diminish it when it’s a person I don’t like. The fact that we’re at a point where some people DO feel the need to say “people get their houses broken into all the time, you only…” might point to a problem that might make reasonable people scared enough continuously that blowing off a little steam at a party seems a reasonable way to maintain sanity.
1/3 of one particular party agrees that violence is needed to solve the problems of America and 1/5 of the country believes in QAnon [1]. That’s not a minority. That’s a scary large percentage. Imagine one out of every five people you see in a grocery ok with the belief that they might need to commit violence to solve the problems america faces… I think it’s reasonable to be slightly concerned about that.
