My blue collar conservative friends who are 52 (we were all pretty much the same age growing up)..yes. They should be FEARED.
Still strong and brutal.
My white collar conservative friends in their early 50s, maybe I’d like their support in fixing my laptop or getting my finances in order...but physical violence...not so much.
I’m sure the younger white collars are ready to rock.
The BIG different between my blue collar friends and us is...they don’t do a whole lot of talking.
They will just fight when the time comes.
We like to talk tough here and then have a beer :)
Oh trust me brother, we are...

May wanna ease up on the stereotypes a little...
The guy I share an office with is gonna be my spotter when the time comes... Among the things being a conservative office dweller in major cities has taught me is CAMOUFLAGE. Also, the valuable skill of being able to sit motionless for hours until a high value low risk opportunity comes into the picture.
I’m also kind of handy with beakers, filters, pipes, and mixing stuff together gently and precisely at a specific temperature. It’s really needed for certain recipes.
I have a feeling that one of the guys I report too, a West Point Grad that retired a captain after flying Apaches for a few years would probably be worth a little something too...
I will close out by adding that I am in no mood (let alone the physical conditioning!) for heroic charges, kamikazee runs, or a straight up fight. But in an insurgency, a few of us button down types might be worth something. The retired marine that taught me to shoot years ago was really clear —
“I never knew until lead was coming at us whether the baddest @$$ looking and sounding marine in my platoon would freeze and cry like a little girl or whether the guy that pees his pants when he’s yelled at would turn into a stone eyed killer. Either, neither or both happen.”
