They discovered far too late that at the heart of the movement in which they were caught up were hard men with very different ideas about the future.
Arent there any hard men on our side? People like ex-CIA ops officers with the intelligence knowledge and contacts to find targets and plan operations, and ex-SF operators to carry them out? Why is an avowed enemy of our Constitution, dedicated to and acting toward a literal revolution, still breathing? What about Soros? Bill Ayers? When do these scumbags meet the sharp end of the spear?
Too many are assuming there are only two sides in the upcoming fight. The Spanish Civil War had 5 sides, iirc. We have at least three, Muslo-Marxist, Masonic-DeepState-Neocon-Never-Trumpers and us.
How many neocon generals (easily 3/4s are) would see an opportunity to seize control while the country is in conflict / martial law. Too easy to assassinate the President (God forbid), and then blame the lefties.
