...brewing in the U.S. with people ready for “a hostile takeover” of the nation’s capital. "

Yea...I chucked when I read that line...

Nice red meat...but completely unrealistic...

To quote part of Patrick Henry's famous speech...

" it is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of that siren till she transforms us into beasts. Is this the part of wise men, engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty? Are we disposed to be of the numbers of those who, having eyes, see not, and, having ears, hear not, the things which so nearly concern their temporal salvation?

Today the answer would be a resounding... YES...
