It makes perfect sense that Progressives/ Leftists erroneously think they have cornered the market on political violence. History however, says differently. They have in fact only cornered the market on orchestrated Street Theatre violence, State-sponsored mass violence and public intolerance.

The Democrats are committed to replacing American traditions, principles, ideals and Institutions with whatever Marxist emotion moves them at any given moment. For three years we have witnessed Democrats and their media/social media foot soldiers challenge something as basic and fundamental as the peaceful transfer of power. And now they are attempting to invalidate an election, and negate the executive branch of government. Not to mention the disenfranchisement ( politically and culturally) of the citizens of 30 states.

Now I’m not justifying or glorifying the violence that will inevitably ensue from this. I’m just telling you you are a Pollyanna if you don’t think there are Americans out there who are in fact locked and loaded . A small minority of those who are likely itching to get started based on the Never- ending Progressive agitation they are now completely BOMBARDED with on a daily basis. A quick perusal of the culture should confirm the Never- ending amount of Americans who are willing to harm or kill their neighbors. These people are on every side of the political spectrum.

And THAT is the risk you take when you refuse to share the country with those you disagree with. That is the risk you take when intolerance, ridicule and harassment becomes your Creed. That is the error that The Democrats are making. They believe a violent backlash is impossible because they currently own that ground ( Antifa, Republican softball games, Republican Senators mowing their grass, cop shootings etc ) and Republicans are the kind of people who clean up after protests rather than breaking things.

That’s a fundamental misreading of both American history and the American character. When you keep poking a man in the chest, eventually , for better or worse, that man will react. And make no mistake, in this culture, that man Is relentlessly getting poked in the chest, insulted, marginalized, coerced, punished, defamed , etc . And when that man reacts , nobody, whether they be a member of the Ruling Class, a 24/7 News cycle media superstar or an angry , half-witted celebrity will be insulated from the violence they are so busy fomenting. This is the ugly truth of where the Democrats have dragged us in September 2019.

Democrat Party has gone completely bonkers. The question remains has the majority of the electorate decided to follow them?

Donald Trump is the last chance we have left to preserve individual freedom and property rights. Including the rights of the unborn. A party that rationalizes genocide and infanticde will not hesitate to kill you if you oppose them.

We'll see.

But then they will win again.

They WANT the reaction from the Right.

Then they can be a martyr and a hero.

When you know the story will be slanted in your favor, every tactic you have, no matter how awful or evil, is a "winning" tactic.

You can have a video of another Prog attacking a female, and if her husband in a red hat defends her, that guy's life will be destroyed, while the attacker becomes the next Prog idol.

I'm not saying your OP is wrong...

I (perhaps foolishly) called for a 'sabre rattling' statement of intent, way back, Pimp; when I first realized that Obama/Dem Authoritarian Socialist were indeed all in to "fundamentally change this Nation". By any means necessary. Trump is spot on - as many before him - in believing that the mere existence of a strong Military...is the best way to avoid using it.

The Left, having been exposed and losing the Rust Belt, have changed their strategy to importing (illegally) numbers of individuals who they plan to use in a Democratic mandate to "fundamentally change this Nation". They believe that such a Democratic takeover/change, would be morally un-challengeable. Both the Founders, and the woke Trump Nation...know better. And you are right re "the possibility of violence". The Founder knew it would come...therein, the 2nd Amendment.

I still believe that the best chance for an HONEST dialogue, is for the Right to put on some sort of 'Rally' in DC, with the undertone being...here is our number, we are armed and will employ those arms in defense of God-given Rights if pushed, and throw off Bureaucratic tyrants who obviously seek to take them away.

If the Left (Transnational Progressives) clearly sees all the 'Red on that Map' - the "bitter clingers", as it were - and clearly understands that their tyrannical plans (Democracy, pure version, "mob rule") will not be implemented by any means other than a civil war...then there is hope that they back down.

If they are going to claim love and compassion for our weaker brethren as the basis of their (Egalitarian Marxist) intent, then they should contemplate and argue HONESTLY, instead of offering half truths and unequal Justice as a mean to their Authoritarian Socialist ends.

Now how, who are what form such a 'Rally'/Event might be undertaken, I have no idea. But it should be considered as a last ditch effort to avert calamity.

Pray for vision and peace.

Yep. The Dems and Left refer to them as terrorists. Back in the days of the founding of this country they were referred to as patriots. This is how far this country has sunk thanks to political party affiliations. George Washington warned us this would happen but we didn't listen.

History, and Prophecy...bears out the legitimacy of you thinking, Rev. "the fiery trial that shall try out Faith". Learning the hard way, is the only way; or we'd still be in 'Eden'.

We are at that cross-road now where the educational/familial decline has intersected with the "smart" phone insta-gratification.

We are one generation away from achieving Idiocracy.

Who would have thought that movie would have been our generation's 1984.

If they’ll lie cheat and deceive to get a sitting president removed... you can damn sure believe they’ll turn it all the way to 11 to not let him get re-elected

The federal government went to war to preserve absolute power and crush states rights 150 years ago. And won.

Fighting them won't be easy.

the one area that they left has failed miserably to infect is the military. Whenever I see leftists talking about citizens resisting things like gun confiscation and saying you can't fight the military, the servicemen are not going to slaughter their own neighbors for standing up for the Constitution, neighbors who they also by and large agree with. Even if they get the order from some leftist officer like "general fully semi auto"

I mean, I hope you're right but unfortunately human history is basically unanimously and massively against you.

An armed population as a guaranteed right in this country was specifically to fight the government and its military. It wasn't to fight actual politicians. It was to fight their foot soldiers.

It’s virtually inevitable at some point.

And this is our last hope. It’s our one check against an unbridled takeover.

Biggest problem with these scenarios is that there is currently no agreement on the uniforms for each side. Is it MAGA hats versus black garbed goobers; Red vs Black, all else neutral, maybe?

If we could simply agree on this simple protocol, I think the maneuvers could get under way fairly quickly...

Red MAGA hats vs black Antifa masks would be the identifiers
