Another item that must be factored in is TIC (Those in Charge) such as LEOs and the military. How will they react to the fighting? Arrest one side, arrest them all, shoot everyone with a gun, turn their backs, etc.
I’ve seen civil war and I really don’t want to see it here...or ever again. The non-combatants always seem to suffer the most.
But the ball is in the Left’s court. Their leaders need to step up and condemn the violence of Antifa and the other rioters. And Antifa and the others need to stop.
I’m just about of the opinion TIC near the top of the food chain want civil unrest.
I think the Right is displaying quiet restraint and their restraint will diminish in slow doses as needed to protect themselves and others. I don’t think we’ll see a peaceful today and an all out civil war tomorrow; it’ll be a slow boil.
Who will win? The Left will gain ground in the beginning, then they’ll get their asses handed to them in an unrelenting manner.
Again though...my most fervent thought is the Left wakes up, realizes this is absolutely the wrong path and stops.
My experience in Tampa FL is that for the past several years the LEO community has practiced a double standard of enforcement. Strict against whites and citizens, benefit of the doubt and look the other way for the minorities and blatant illegals. This would magnify in any confrontation as a large asset for the left.
My experience with members of the military within my own "family" has been dismal. Those in their 20's who have completed service have been indoctrinated in the school system and the military itself with self-incrimination if they are white and guilt for the supposed plight of those who are not. Some of the most knee-jerk-liberal left leaning people I know are ex-military.
Again I see this coming down on the side of the illegals and against any militia movements from the right. Also keep in mind the FBI has already reassigned the definition of "terrorist" from a Somalian or a Yemeni male of a certain age to a ten-generation American male who is a member of a right wing militia.
Television and Hollywood constantly portray villains as stereotypical white male Americans and frequently with military backgrounds who are the aggressors. And their victims as law-abiding minorities with uncanny and statistically unsupportable middle-class values. The upside down drumbeat in film and on TV is a constant reversal of ethnic roles and a complete twisting of values.
Where the feds will fall would seem to me to be a given: Middle class whites and Trump supporters will remain the targets--as we are now.
Did you see or hear about the Facebook Live session last night with Bernie and Lieawatha? They're not backing down. Last night they doubled down.
