GASLIGHTING THE POST-ELECTION VIOLENCE
American Partisan ^ | 29 Oct, 2020 | NC Scout

Posted on 11/02/2020 8:16:42 AM PST by MtnClimber

In a predictable move, the media is gaslighting the likelihood of violence, post-election. No, not from the very same Leftists burning down cities and declaring themselves in open insurrection…oh no. Its coming from you, Right Winger, clutching your God, Guns and Religion, as we’re so told. That’s right. The Civil War coming as a result arrogant and useless ivory tower dwellers, power-drunk Flag Officers having grown too close to their profits and too far from their Countrymen, and an Intelligence Community run amok using their undergrad proxies as cannon fodder is your fault.

I was sent a rather uninteresting interview by a reader earlier done by the University of Tennessee’s public radio station. A so-called foreign war correspondent has been studying the leadup to this year’s election and provided commentary. According to him, the Oathkeepers are among the central groups in coordinating a post election boogaloo beatdown:

Some pro-Trump, far-right militants are preparing for the possibility of civil war. My guest Mike Giglio writes about one such militant group, the Oath Keepers, that he says has tapped into a deep current of anxiety that could cause a surprisingly large contingent of people with real police and military experience to consider armed, political violence. Giglio got access to a leaked database of the Oath Keepers membership from 2009 to 2015.

How about that.

Now in the interest of fairness, he goes on to say that they don’t plan on starting it, even though the entire interview is framed to look that way, but rather they’re concerned with mass violence coming from the Left. And while they pay very minor diligence to this reality, they then return to the idea that the Oathkeepers are somehow “Trump’s militia”.

Oh my.

While the Left is busy burning down the nation and openly stating their goals, which include mass murder to get their way, these two clowns are discussing how the Oathkeepers are going to trigger a Civil War with ‘conservative rhetoric’.

It seems to me that these leftists have been trying to provoke a response. In the MSM only the response will be covered to smear patriotic citizens. But, what do you do if they are coming to burn your home or place of business when you are inside?

The right may get violent, but if so it will be in a Kyle Rittenhouse sort of way. And this is necessary when there is lawlessness with no cops. Think, the Korean store owners in LA back in the late 20th century.

Ultimately, your protection is YOUR responsibility.

All of the violence so far has been from the left.
The Ministry of Propaganda has to invent things to blame on the right.

I would agree the Left is trying as hard as they can to provoke any kind of reaction - or overreation - so the press can have a filed day.

After the election, and an assumed Trump win, two things will become more evident.

As a lame duck, Trump will have few restraints fro invoking 10 USC Ch 13, Sub A and related Law.

Then the gloves will come off. What follows will certainly be ugly - for everyone.

I was at a Rural King store in Naples, Florida last week. There were 20 people waiting in line to buy guns and ammo.

The shelves were about cleared of ammo with no supply of 30-06, 9mm, .357, or .38 left.

The sense of urgency to buy something, anything was something I had never seen before.

I guess I’m naive, I was just there to buy a new pellet gun to shoot Cane Toads!

Blue state governors have had plenty of time to prepare for this to prevent widespread violence and destruction.
Any who have not imposed curfews and called out the National Guard should be arrested for being co-conspirators.

What the organized and paid-for riots have proved is that one person acting alone is a criminal and is easy to apprehend and arrest, to prosecute and to demonize.

A couple of hundred Patriots defending their town would be a movement, true resistance.

My “spirit animal” is the badger. Quiet and unassuming it never messes with others and only wishes to be left alone. So, as long as you (editorial you) leave me alone we’ll get along fine.

Alternatively, F with me or mine and I will end you.

If the left could only learn a few simple lessons...

Some on the right with appropriate arms training could get violent, but it would be in response to Antifa, BLM and the seditionists in the federal government trying to stop a Trump victory, not their own initiative.

The rest of us get to hunker down while doing what we can to harden our homes and businesses.

Combined General and Maryland (next to DC) “Freak State” PING!

Trump is good, but we really need a Pinochet.

Interesting! Oathkeepers swear to do one thing: Uphold their solemn oath to be faithful to the Constitution of the United States. Now, where is there any instruction in the Constitution of the United States that instructs those members who swore their allegiance to riot against the results of any election?

.................

NO you have tapped into a deep current of anxiety that could cause a surprisingly large contingent of people with real police and military experience to consider armed defense from leftists Marxist terrorists who have been attacking the country for the past 5 months.
