August 19, 2022

On Aug. 11, an armed man was killed in a standoff with police outside an FBI field office in Cincinnati. On Monday, a Pennsylvania man was charged with threatening federal law enforcement. In recent days, synagogue services were canceled in Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., following threats against a federal judge who sat on its board, and barricades were erected outside of FBI headquarters in Washington, D.C.

Each of these incidents is tied to heated threats online — including calls for violence and even civil war — from supporters of former President Donald Trump after the FBI searched his private residence, Mar-a-Lago, on Aug. 8. While the rhetoric is nothing new on the fringe-right internet, some portions of which have been preparing, or outright agitating, for civil war for years, some mainstream conservative outlets, like Fox News, have echoed the idea that conservative Americans are under attack. In this election year, some candidates are leveraging outrage over the event, too.
