The hostility between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton supporters has been escalating as election day nears. But on Tuesday someone attached razor blades to a Trump-Pence sign, then used it to cover the official polling site sign at a polling location in Plano, Texas, CBS DFW reports.

Just before sunrise at Collin County College, a precinct official ordered the sign to be removed. The volunteer who took it down cut his hands on the box cutter blades that were attached to the bottom of the sign.

“It’s terrible we’ve become so polarized in our politics,” says Steve Spainhouer, the Democratic chair in Collin County Precinct 122. “I think it’s deplorable. It just shows how far we’ve come in politics where people want to be so mean, so hateful to try and injure somebody who’s probably got no political party persuasion one way or another and is just working at a poll.”

These people have no idea what is coming if they think a few razor blades on some signs are an 'escalation' of political tensions that has them all concerned.
Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly.  - Benjamin Franklin

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775
