Armed conservative groups are deploying to the front lines of the culture war

Across the country, armed civilians have surged into public view — marching on statehouses, challenging Black Lives Matter protests, chasing Internet rumors — and bringing the threat of lethal force to local politics.

1. This is why we should focus on the election and stay off the streets for a while (imho)

Or, go stand in a crowd when one of these yahoos walks up next to you and throws a firebomb at the federal storm troopers who then shoot shit and you and roll up everyone in your vicinity. Give trump the show he wants. Give him a reason to send stormtroopers to every city. Fuck up our chance to peacefully remove him.


But go ahead and tell me how I'm wrong and we should give him the fight he wants.

2. Yep, they outsmarted us again. Might as well go home.

Gosh dang it, i wish they would just play fair. Consarn it.

3. becomes more apparent every day...

how we got here. Why support thousands of people protesting for their rights and their futures, when you can instead criticize, and theorize about how it will look to some someones at a future date that is not yet real.

4. Things wouldn't come down to this if our side would've fought harder over the years...

Democrats and the left have been way more like Neville Chamberlain rather than Churchill in dealing with the right. They take more and more from us, till they take everything from us...
