“The enemy won’t wear a certain kind of uniform. We see them at stores on on the road all the time right now but don’t know it.”
You hit on something very important, and the likely reason an all out shooting war won’t happen.
Other than the occasional bumper sticker, you have no idea who your target is. You’d have to attack a gathering, like a political rally, and even then there are no guarantees that your target is valid.
This “issue” effects both sides equally, so the most we’re likely to see is occasional outbursts, targeted attacks, and nuisance crimes like slashed tires. We already have fraudulent voting, so that won’t be anything new.
You both bring up an excellent point that I’ve considered again and again: How on Earth do you tell who the enemy is?
Unless someone opens their mouth and says something, or somehow openly displays their affiliation, you simply will not know. The danger of friendly fire is huge here.
This is why we need to make mental lists of our enemies.
Remember the hippie bumpersticker "Think Globally, Act Locally"?
That's what we need to do. We will never have access to the traitors in Washington; we will never mete out justice to them.
However, there are those in our personal orbits every bit as deserving of justice. It is our responsibility to note these people and put them on our lists, so that when the time comes, we can be an instrument of justice.
Don't write your list down. Keep it in your head solely.
