Democrat accused of triggering death threats against GOP candidate

 Daily Signal:

Virginia Republican Delegate Kim Taylor, who just faced a politically motivated death threat, told The Daily Signal that Democrat gubernatorial candidate Abigail Spanberger’s rallying cry for her supporters to “let your rage fuel you” may have contributed to the political tensions behind the death threat.

“As law enforcement continues their investigation, it’s clear this was a politically motivated attack,” Taylor told The Daily Signal in a statement Friday.

Taylor, who represents Petersburg, a city south of Richmond, in the Virginia House of Delegates, did not mention Spanberger by name but cited a quote from a speech the Democrat gave in June. 
“Just recently, a candidate for statewide office encouraged supporters to ‘let your rage fuel you’ when talking about Republicans,” Taylor said. “Words like these have consequences, and my family felt them firsthand.” 
Spanberger’s Republican opponent, Lt. Gov. Winsome Earle-Sears, has criticized the Democrat over the same comment, and the Democrat has insisted the words were taken out of context. Spanberger’s campaign did not immediately respond to the Daily Signal’s request for comment.

... 

The Democrat candidates sound desperate, and their low polling may be the reason.  They don't sound like happy warriors for peace.  Why are some of them so angry all the time?

Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
