#1 IMO, the rhetoric will be ratcheted down once a prominent democrat is attacked.

#2 ...nah, it's when we're left with a smoking crater of a nation after the civil war.

#3 I wonder what Steve Scalise thinks about this.

#4 That is the left's plan.

#6 Look at the game with Kav. Their strategy is - if I can't have it, no one can. Scorched earth. They'll shut down a very intricate system in the economy when travel is shut down during the booms and bangs. All the kings horses and all the kings men can't put Humpty back together again.

#7 Look at the game with Kav.

Yea, but - how good are they at violence?

#8 And how brave?

#9 ...there is always a cadre of true believers. It's not going to be as easy as some here believe because of so many who want 'restraint'. It's not going to be successful as those on the Left think its going to be because those on the other side now know there can only be one left standing. As usual, there will be a lot of collateral damage among those who'd rather just be left alone. It will drag out. There will be no decisive battle.

#10 Yea, but - how good are they at violence? And how brave?

Don't naively suggest the misguided are either weak brained or weak armed.

#11 Yea, but - how good are they at violence?

Well they are great at beating up little old men and ladies. As well as hitting people from behind on the head with a bike lock.

As to actually disciplined, sustained fighting? Not so great.

#12 Brown shirts probably weren't very good at violence but they were good enough to intimidate the majority of unarmed civilians.

#13 As long as the borders remain open, there are plenty to fill their ranks. See the insurgency in Iraq, ISS, et al. The Brown Shirts included a lot of experienced fighters, not just your usual street thugs. One thing they won't lack is funding, till the usual suspects and their purse are shut down. Meanwhile, other governments may well find it convenient to dabble in an American insurgency.

#15 Neh, I know these people - I spent most of my adult life in academia/educational system - they're not Bolsheviks, they're careerists. Most have zilch moral or physical courage.

#16 ^^^ They have foot soldiers that are capable of fighting, in packs. I doubt they would fare well against an angry determined opponent. As previously noted, find the money people and organizers and stuff them in a barrel.
