I’m almost ashamed to admit it, but this is the reason why I don’t have a Trump sign on my lawn. On the other hand, I have always believed that my vote is my business.
The Post Millennial has learned that some voters in the Philadelphia said they have received threatening letters sent through the US Postal Service using a facsimile of a Trump campaign letterhead. The printed letters begin with the salutation “Dear Neighbor” before briefly mentioning reasons not to vote for Donald Trump and JD Vance but then dive headlong into outright threats. The writer claims, “We know where you live, you are in the data base,” “there is no knowing what may happen,” and “your family may be impacted, your cat may get shot.”
The letter initially claims to be “a quick note of thanks for being engaged in the election and for your participation in the process,” then claims to be “writing with a concern about the level of political violence in the country during this election year as well as the threats to our democracy and freedoms.” It asks the reader to “take a close look at the truth, facts and the future for a better America where we can all live in harmony together.”

The letter then lights into Trump, saying “your candidate is a felon, rapist, desecrator, an immoral flawed man. He is a major reason violence [i]s up,” they say, referencing both the riot of January 6, during which one person, Trump-supporting veteran Ashli Babbitt was killed, as well as the Unite the Right Rally in Charlottesville, VA in 2017 when Trump condemned neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and violent leftists.
“By supporting him,” the letter claims, “you are declaring your public support for a disregard of the law, civil discourse and unity. You are indicating your hatred for minorities, immigrants, foreigners, women, education, the rights of your fellow citizens, the rights of women to make decisions over their own healthcare needs.” The letter also claims that a vote for Trump means you hate Taylor Swift.
Those who received the letters had displayed Trump signs in their yards, which is likely what was meant by the letter writer’s mention of “visible support.” Pennsylvania is believed to be not only a swing state in the coming presidential election, but the key state that candidates need to win in order to secure enough electoral votes.
“However,” the letter continues, “this is a reminder that your visible support comes with a price and at a cost. There will be consequences.”

The end of the letter is perhaps the most threatening of all, it reads: “Your vote for this guy is seen as treading on my rights. You tread on me at your peril, motherf*cker. We look forward to visiting in the future.”

The writings of a psychopath. I’d be greatly surprised if the FBI even bothers to investigate this threat.

Some kinda violation of USPS, obviously – of course it won’t be given a thought since the postal service is all in on kamala.

So, the party of “joy” resorts to this? They really are desperate.
These must be mass-produced, given the overall appearance. Someone printed them, and that’s traceable.
“Handwritten” neighbor. Must be a slow day at the competition’s headquarters.
Their main weapon is fear.
Ephesians 6:10-11
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
1 Peter 5:8-9
8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
9 Whom resist…
Ephesians 4:27
27 Neither give place to the devil.
James 4:7
7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
2 Corinthians 10:4
(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
KJV
We cannot let this fear rule in our minds. Reporting this to the authorities, pushing back, that’s we must do. Every single time.

Hi Stella, nice to hear from you.
Well, I just didn’t get that warm fuzzy feeling from a threat marked “Neighbor” so leaving a little something extra leaning by the door sounds reasonable to me. But that’s just me.

Well, I didn’t mean to suggest that you should run out and buy a gun AFTER you are attacked. If you know what I mean.
