    Threatening poll workers? No problem.

    Threatening town officials? Absolutely.

    Threatening journalists? Well that’s just American.

    Threatening corporate executives? Oh hooo that’s a paddlin’.

      You can also threaten democrats and “disloyal” Republicans in office, so long as you’re careful not to threaten anyone in the Trump administration.
