Police Investigate After Letters Sent To Some Residents
Threatening letters targeting Trump supporters in the Philadelphia area highlight the disturbing escalation of political violence and intimidation tactics as the 2024 election approaches.
According to *The Post Millennial*, multiple residents who displayed Trump signs on their lawns have received these alarming letters, warning of violent consequences should they continue to support the former president.
The letters, adorned with a fraudulent Trump letterhead, begin deceptively with a polite tone thanking recipients for their involvement in the election.
However, the message quickly spirals into a threatening diatribe, labeling Trump a “felon, rapist, desecrator” and claiming that his supporters represent a disregard for law, unity, and civil rights. The writer accuses recipients of supporting hatred against minorities, immigrants, women, and education, ultimately threatening their homes, families, and even pets.
Trump supporters in PA are getting threatening letters not to vote for Trump.

One recipient, identified only as Janet from Penn Valley, reported the letter to the Lower Merion Police Department after receiving it, and was informed that at least one other household had been similarly targeted.
The threats, which include ominous lines such as “We know where you live, you are in the data base,” are a clear attempt to intimidate voters ahead of the election. The anonymous author warns that should Trump win, personal and economic destruction will follow, underscoring the letter’s unhinged nature.
This kind of political harassment crosses a dangerous line, and it reflects the deeply polarized and volatile atmosphere surrounding the upcoming election. Using fear and threats to suppress political expression is an alarming tactic, and it raises concerns about the safety of voters who openly support candidates in this divisive climate.
As law enforcement looks into these incidents, it’s crucial for authorities to take swift action to protect citizens from this kind of intimidation.
