    I think you’re right. As much as it galls me, he’ll suffer no consequences because he has millions of armed angry followers. One speech from him might actually start a civil war.

    Fuck rupert murdoch and fox news for ratcheting up the rhetoric over the years to keep their viewers scared, angry, and glued to their TVs. And fuck right wing talk radio for doing the same thing.

      I blame Rush for being the true catalyst for all the hatred.

      He tried to rally his followers before and got like 5 people showing up. That ship has sailed, he’s not an unassailable lord and it harms Democracy to pretend he is.

        This time I want to be more certain than that. I’m glad that he seems to be losing followers but he’s still a really dangerous person.

      I know it would be a terrible thing but it would be the most one-sided civil war in the history of ever.

      His followers are massively gung ho but they really only care about themselves. Once actual consequences, such as returning fire, make themselves felt I suspect a lot of them will slink off back to Alabama or whatever.

      There will be a lot of grumbling and accusations from them, but they won’t do anything very much because they don’t dare. Having guns won’t protect you from the US military if the US military doesn’t like you, and they’ll soon work that one out.
