“And so I come full circle on this response and just want to encourage you with some substance that we are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be,” he said.

      Horrible events like January 6, or 9/11, each get a name.

      I wonder what Monday’s SCOTUS ruling will end up being called.

      Bc that seems to me to have been the turning point - not the beginning, obviously (you could point much further back to e.g. Citizens United) but when it really allowed/encouraged things to ratchet up.

          Even its wiki page says it was not unique, was not for common folk, and also it was repealed even though portions of it were re-issued. If you mean that this could be used as a name, I was thinking more along the lines of like “Madness Monday”, except you know… something actually good:-).

        There’s a huge difference. They are talking about resistance to the fascist policies after they are put in place.

              I’m really not. I’m just way more pessimistic. I grew up around the Aryan Nations. I have a very vivid idea what is going to happen.

                Yes you are. The point is that they are talking about official governmental reprisals for any sort of resistance, not uprisings.

                This isn’t warning of violence, this is announcing when they’ll start building the camps.

                  What part of “Yes” do you not understand?

                  You’re arguing with a straw man.
