      Also can’t believe the article fails to mention any of the economic reasons behind people’s anger.

      For the kind of rightist making these threats, it's a combination of "the election was stolen" and "the lockdown is TYRANNY," so mostly ideology; they've been priming themselves since Obama for some kind of government crackdown where they get their guns taken away and locked in FEMA camps, after all

      Of course economics factors into it, but how many threats were there in 2008-2009 during bailout time
