Violent extremists in our own New England backyard

Dan Kennedy has a disturbing post on the extremist Libertarian Party of New Hampshire and its recent gross tweet: “Anyone who murders Kamala Harris would be an American hero.” … A spokesman for the group told the Globe that the organization “believes that the journalists at the Boston Globe are as evil as rapists or murderers.” Wow. I’m embarrassed I didn’t see these stories sooner …

Combined with the latest attempted assassination of Donald Trump and the arrest of neo-Nazis who had prepared an assassination “hit list” that included former U.S. Attorney Rachael Rollins, Kennedy concludes: “We are living through a terrifying moment, and it’s not going to end on Election Day.” 

Btw: I think the NH Libertarian incident proves Jeff Jacoby’s recent hunch was obviously correct: Hard-core MAGA supporters have taken over the Libertarian Party in general. It’s certainly not the same party that featured Gary Johnson of New Mexico and Bill Weld of Massachusetts at the top of its ticket in 2016.
