January 6th showed that at least the far-right is OK with political violence. Lynchings show that racists are OK with political violence. Anti-Semites burning synagogues shows that they're OK with political violence. The government has never had a problem with political violence against minorities and people pushing for a more socially supportive system. But somehow when average people are OK with violence against a greedy CEO whose policies lead to thousands of preventable deaths it's a step too far.
