I’m not sure I would call the arrest of Mr. Drabman an “obvious abuse of power,”

I would agree with you. The question I am raising is what would it take for all the tough talking bravados to take up arms in a 2nd civil war?

My contention is nothing. They've got too much tied up in their jobs, their mortgages, their car payments and their kid's weekend soccer practice............

Nobody flocked to Klamath Falls to help the farmers with their fight against the federal govt. on water rights.

Nobody flocked to help Ammon Bundy in his standoff against the BLM, and nobody rose up in protest against the killing of LaVoy Finicum as a result of that standoff.........

IOW, there ain't gonna be no second civil war...........

Spot-on correct, Hot Tabasco.

By our very nature, mature Conservatives have far more to risk than unstable Leftwingers. That is also what makes us reliable, predictable, rational, and trustworthy.

The biggest disadvantage is it places us squarely in the “frog slowly boiling in the pot” situation.
We tend to mostly be individualists who travel in much smaller packs of family and tight-knit friends. That unfortunately makes our “numbers” appear smaller than they are in reality.

Exactly. As a homeowner, family man, wage-earner, etc., you have something to lose. Any who dare shows resistance, will be arrested, sued, fired, etc., one at at time, and alone.
