While not quite so profanely as the earlier example [It's so Fu**ing on!], Bruce Kesler - posting at Maggie's Farm - expresses the same sediments about the Administration's penchant for thuggery.

During
the past week, I’ve had conversations with old friends – leftist,
centrist, and conservative – with whom I experienced the political
battles of the 1960’s. All of us have a similar take on what’s
happening now, compared to then. Then, it was a challenge against
authority primarily by the privileged young who didn’t want to serve in
the war, which dissipated rapidly once the draft ended, while their
ideologues took refuge in academia to rise to insulated tenure of
attachment to their old slogans and some of their ilk to gerrymandered
seniority in Congress. Obama was a tot then, but raised on their
radical bromides. Now, it is the broader swath of working and
middle class Americans, a far larger and more potent population, who
are fed up and angry with being exploited and insulted by those who
feel it their right and duty to impose their schemes to rearrange and
endanger everyone else’s lives and weaken the America that sustains
us. We all feel the potential for violence is high. Enough
everyday Americans will defend themselves against thuggish attacks upon
their right to speak out.
I wasn’t a proponent of street violence then, nor am I now. I
abhor it. And, just let any one of the Democrat thugs try to
physically attack me or silence me or anyone nearby and they better
stand the f*ck by for a real thumping. At 61, I still fit in my
Marine Corps uniform, and know well how to defend myself. I’m
just one member of a rapidly expanding, reluctant force of ordinary  Americans
who will. Those who have spent their lives cloistered in ivy and
Congress have never met our resistance before, are shocked, and are in
for more rueful surprises if they keep on their vile attacks on our
democracy, peace and prosperity.
