At this point, the “causal” issue is not the issue.

The issue is that the fedgov came a thuggin’,
and the People resisted.

And the next issue is going to be how the FedGov responds. They don’t like losing. They will ramp this up until either they win or it gets REALLY ugly. I have little doubt lives (or significant individual liberty) will be lost before this is over. And it won’t drag on for years.

And the lesson that's true throughout history just might have happened. We have real unlikely, imperfect heroes in this Bundy clan. But, gosh darn, they stood THEIR ground to those BLM bullies. Didn't back off after they were assaulted. Maybe more average people will do that when a situation arises.

Don't wait for the pols. They're probably still in strategy meetings figuring out what response will garner the most votes. And that includes our beloved Ted Cruz.
