PA resident here. Shapiro is as left as left gets these days without being actively snuffed by the Democratic establishment, so naturally the right sees him as a plant for the deep state or whatever they’re calling ‘the ones we don’t like’ these days. Republicans have a healthy majority in State Congress here after the 2024 elections, and they are towing the party line and implementing Project 2025 despite resistance from constituents and the Governor.
Shout-out to Senator Doug “Literal Insurrectionist Traitor” Mastriano for being an all-around piece of shit, by the way.
Either way, this is a physical attack on the current political minority. Combine that with the timing (the first night of Passover), this has all the signs of an act of domestic terrorism.

Because nobody will stop them.
