1. Why would they? Militias are a hedge against a corrupt government. ANY corrupt government.
2. Trump never asked them to.

Digging deep into their “bag of enemies” to scare the “normies”.
90’s the militia was the big, bad enemy that had to be watched.
00’s they had Bush, Bush, Bush.
early 10’s they had the Tea Party
Now they are deciding to bring the “scary white guys, with guns” back out because the “Trump, Russia, Alt-Right, Racists” isn’t working.

Huh? Does the author somehow think that militias are political party affiliated? The public education system has failed us.

Any “journalist” who cites Southern Poverty Law Center as a credible and respected source of information deserves to have the daylights beaten out of them.

” . . . about a dozen camouflage-wearing, heavily armed Americans . . .”
After reading the article, and only seeing mention of “AR-15s and handguns”, I conclude the people were lightly armed.
Lightly armed but well armed.

Militias are a good thing. I trust them much more than the Islamic terrorist training camps that’s in this country.

The entire premise is wrong.
Militias are far more likely to come to the aid of a beleaguered Trump in the course of a coup attempt.
The Militias are mostly Trump supporters.

America’s militia marched side by side with General George Washington.

Doesn’t matter who is in the White House.
The 2nd amendment guarantees the right to keep and bear arms.
And it is a deterrent against rouge politicians.

Militia districts of Wilkes County, North Carolina, 1786:
It was a requirement that you joined and drilled in the militia units back then.

That would be no foresight.
The present situation can last at best 8 years.
It’s foolish to think that someday we’re not going to need the training again.
Better to stay in readiness than to have to retrain and gain lost knowledge again.
Then the enemy will find us unprepared and easy pickings.

Leftist Canadian metrosexuals eat-up anything about US “rednecks,” militias, conservative Christians, etc... that confirms their own biases and fantasies.

More likely to pick up arms in support of Trump - who never asked anyone to lay down their arms.
