A few days ago, Americans supporting the current president of the United States, They began to share On social networks, photographs of a strange letter. The sender hinted that the houses in which Trump supporters live can set fire to immediately after the election. We understand whether there was such a massive newsletter in reality.

Usually, the American political sympathies, especially before the elections, are easy to calculate: he can wear an icon or a T -shirt in support of one of the candidates or even install the appropriate banner on the lawn at the house. Over the past three days, people who have placed such campaigning allegedly began to talk about threats of arson. Messages about such letters (in other sources-leaflets) came from Kansas, Indiana, California, Pennsylvania, Man, Louisiana, Texas, Florida, Georgia, Oregon and New Hampshire. In the last of the listed states, the police even The investigation began.

The photograph of the letter began to be actively distributed on social networks. The text reads:

Dear neighbor,

Our group identified you as a supporter of Trump.

Your address was added to our database as a goal that will be attacked if Trump does not recognize the election.

We recommend checking whether your house is insured, whether the policy is relevant and covers the damage from the fire in a sufficient size.

You received an "honest warning."

Always remember that exactly You They started this civil war.

Be prepared to face serious The consequences of your proactive actions against democracy.

It is possible that the spread of this misinformation has become a kind of reaction to another newsletter that Joe Biden's supporters received. It contained similar threats, but the reverse call was to vote for Trump. Such messages were received by voters in Pennsylvania, Arizona, Alaska, as well as students and employees of the University of Florida - supporters of democrats in this traditionally “oscillating” state. Unlike the letter to which this material is dedicated to, that newsletter was really relatively mass, but here who sent it is a question. The police and local specialists are currently working on this.

It is reasonable to assume that the main task of the letter is not to warn about the impending attack (this simply does not make sense), but to influence the final decision of the voters and the result of voting. Search on social networks shows that all users shared photos of the same sheet of paper: pay attention to the characteristic ruptinities and gaps. It is unlikely that the sender, before going to the post office, deliberately crumpled and torn hundreds of sheets in the same places. The fact that many users do not say that they received such a message, but they refer to friends, acquaintances, relatives and colleagues, does not help to believe this letter.

We found out that there is a second printed sheet, a photograph of which is distributed on social networks. It is also shown in plot WMU9 TV channel about threats to residents of two towns in the state of New Gampshire. It is strange that his photograph is in the posts of letters received by residents Dallas and state Indiana.

Doubts are added by the fact that one of the first photography Published On his twitter is a political activist, head of the American Conservative Union (ACU) Matt Shlapp. He is also known as a lobbyist and supporter of the Republican Party, and his wife is involved in the work of Trump's campaign headquarters. In the spring, Shlappa has already been caught on the spread of inaccurate information. In March, he argued that the owners of the hotel where the ACU conference held was held 2000 tests after one of the participants found coronavirus (the hotel leadership later refuted This is a statement). And in April Shlapp toldthat the issuance of driver’s licenses without documents will add up to a million illegal votes against the current president (although in fact to vote can Only US citizens).

On your tweet, the slap says that the letters are distributed in Kansas City. The local police at the same time She saidthat she did not receive a single complaint from the inhabitants, and called for always checking the sources of information before distributing it on social networks. We can only join the Kanzassian law enforcement officers, because the second part of the Schlappa message is unreliable: the police I did not find it, contrary to his words, politically motivated intent in the collision of a car on signs in support of Trump in the courtyard of a local republican.
