Corrupt Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold says that “extreme Republicans” are inciting violence. 

“They incited January 6th. They led to the attack on Paul Pelosi, the kidnapping attempt of the Michigan governor, and now the shootings… It leads to attacks like this. It leads to bullets flying through little girls walls.” 

She went on to claim that questioning our election system leads to political violence. 

Divide and rule policy (Latin: divide et impera), or divide and conquer, in politics and sociology is gaining and maintaining power divisively. Historically, this strategy was used in many different ways by empires seeking to expand their territories. The maxim divide et impera has been attributed to Philip II of Macedon. It was utilised by the Roman ruler Julius Caesar and the French emperor Napoleon (together with the maxim divide ut regnes).
