Stochastic terror: He knew what he was doing by bringing up justices' families.

[Swede]

Doesn't feel so good, I'm betting.

Trump blared that Chief Justice John Roberts and his own appointees Amy Coney Barrett and Neil Gorsuch were disloyal “fools and lapdogs for the RINOs and radical left Democrats,” and added that those who opposed him were “very unpatriotic and disloyal to the Constitution.” He continued up by claiming, without evidence, that the Court had been “swayed by foreign interests” and that Barrett and Gorsuch were “an embarrassment to their families.”

This kind of rhetoric from Trump is not unusual. He often paints those who thwart him as traitors to the country or as personally disloyal (he does not see any difference between the two). He often uses extremely insulting language, denigrating his opponents in ways intended to diminish and dismiss them.

But the fact these attacks are common shouldn’t blind us to their power. When the president of the United States declares someone to be an enemy of the state, a lot of his partisans believe him — and some of those partisans take action.
