These articles also scare me, as well as make my angry because we collectively could be doing so much to mitigate this. A key problem is that political division has been weaponized, and a good chunk of the population doesn't believe in these threats because it's a "liberal conspiracy". Currently the US federal government is being helmed by these very same people. I don't know if there is a solution that is available, but I think part of it is to develop messaging that can point to solutions that "the average person" can both understand and feel some stake in its implementation and success.

Given the evidence, who questions whether or not there is a social engineering campaign? it's quite obvious to me.
