“They should all be hung in the streets,” one person wrote of Democrats, the media, and others. “War now,” another wrote. Far-right communities online lit up on Saturday night with calls for violence, retribution, and civil war in the wake of the assassination attempt on former president Donald Trump. “I guess they really do want war,” a member of the pro-Trump message board known as The Donald wrote on Saturday evening in a post that has since been deleted. Many other members of the message board, which played a significant role in coordinating activities leading up to the Capitol riot on January 6, agreed in responses to the post. “Let’s give it to them,” one person wrote. Another added: “I’m ready. This is my last damn straw.” One other user wrote: “CIVIL.FUCKING.WAR. I’m ready to be done with this fucking shit from Democrats.” The details of these posts were shared with WIRED by researchers from Advance Democracy, a nonprofit organization that conducts public interest research.
