    They might go to war against the leaders within the country instead. Trump is really playing with fire here, messing with the gun-toting constituents of his.

      Revolutions need organization. Organization needs third spaces were people can meet, discuss, and organize. Most of the US has basically no third spaces outside of churches, and this is very much by design.

      Nah, just say that Hussein Obama did it or something stupid like that, say it’s open season on the treacherous libs and they’ll happily make another Kristallnacht because that is how stupid they are. They’ll follow Cheeto straight into hell and then he’ll abandon them there and they’ll still blame Obama because please do not expect these people to have a shred of dignity to say “I was wrong”

          clearly, Fauci created COVID which is a bioweapon that isn’t serious enough to employ biodefense measures against including barriers (masking) and immunizations (vaccinate), but serious enough to have triggered a recession that the present trump slump is fixing, etc. So yeah clearly Fauci’s fault.
