Onion aside, what bothers me is that it is in the interest of many key party members to take a more aggressive stance. Trump and the GOP have vilified individuals like Pelosi.

When the majority of average Americans start feeling the shock from the changes that are being made Trump is going to want a scapegoat. No one is better suited for this purpose than key party members that he has been brainwashing people to believe are literal devil spawn. He has even threatened to execute certain people. Unless you have an escape plan(wouldn't be surprised if some do), surely you must realize that this is an eventuality?
