Waging Nonviolence:

Political violence is surging, but there’s a playbook to counter it

by George Lakey for Waging Nonviolence


Hardy Merriman helped prepare Americans for a Trump coup attempt in 2020. In this conversation, he offers insights into overcoming threats to this year’s election.


What is the likelihood of violence being part of the mix if Trump were to return to the presidency?


We’re already amidst political violence. You can define it in different ways, but I include threats and intimidation as acts of political violence. I don’t just think actual physical political violence is the only way to look at this. There’s a whole range of behaviors online that function as political violence, including doxxing and swatting. If past is prologue, then they would increase under a new Trump administration.
