What is happening in Indiana is a profound threat to our democracy.
Trump has unleashed a vote-my-way-or-risk-your-life climate on Republican legislators that makes democracy near impossible.
For starters, all of us should be flooding these legislators with thanks and support for braving this.

“.. I believe these threats are a result of the redistricting pressure on Indiana," state Sen. Jean Leising said Monday in a statement, saying that she was the target of a pipe bomb threat over the weekend.

You're not seeing the defense and international conflict experts disagreeing because if the facts are true, it's one of the most basic things in the law of armed conflict: You cannot kill people who are "hors de combat," taken out of the game by injury or attack. This is Geneva 101 stuff.
I follower a few defense experts.
Seeing them all straight-up declare this a war crime without any him-and-hawing is uhm
Disconcerting.
Pete Hegseth must resign, as does Stephen Miller. Donald Trump should be subpoenaed before Congress to answer for HIS policy.
