You are right in your assessment, but unfortunately, if nobody starts with active defense, it will only get worse and more "accepted" by society. That is how indoctrination is done, in small steps, "checking the water" for whats accepted by the masses and whats not, slowly pushing more and more into the extremes.

I saw a bumper sticker the other day that resonated with me "Stop pretending your racism is patriotism"

It reminded me of something an African American woman said to me during college more than 20 years ago "I always watch out for people that love to fly the American flag because you never know what that really means."

And beyond racism it is happening in blue cities.

His supporters are primed to think that cities are dangerous places already, and that a city led by liberals is in shambles, and that all the people living there are lawless liberals that deserve punishment.

They are cheering about this because they see it as sending their troops to go hurt others. Whether those people are other because of their race, their religion, their gender, their sexuality, or their political beliefs.

And when these same people find out that something about them or a loved one makes them other they will act shocked. They will protest that they aren’t an other they are in the in-group.

And then they will learn the true nature of fascism. The in-group is constantly shrinking, because there must always be an other to blame. And they will learn that lesson too late.

Organized federal financed paramilitary units with a hierarchy and a support structure and a multi-billion dollar PR budget are going to outperform random disconnected vigilantes who are too afraid to so much as wave at one another.

This is the same problem the Spanish Anarchists had against Franco. Its the problem German and Italian Communists had against the Fascist/Monarchist alliance. It's the problem the French Resistance had against the Nazi occupation and the Hamas / Hezbollah resistance has had against the IDF.

Simply owning a firearm isn't enough. You need a community of like-minded people operating in concert towards a recognized goal. That's the difference between the Vietcong and Ruby Ridge. That's what separates successful insurgencies from "lone wolf waterboarded to death in Gitmo blacksite".

Joining the Nazis.

Blue states have encouraged disarming while the red are stockpiling. Wonder who ICE are targeting....
