If we don’t support the Proud Boys (Patriots), we will lose this Republic as the Socialist Thugs get bolder and terrorize the suburbs

You may forget, every communist revolution was started by a small radical group (Antifa, etc.) of leftists terrorizing a law abiding citizens into fear and cowardice. The Proud Boys are defending #StopTheSteal, whom my son is a founding member. They are taking the fight to the terrorists for us. Christians need to be like the “Sons of Issachar” and know the times we are in, and recognize that now is the time to fight

Beth Baumann, for Town Hall, described the Proud Boys as a “far right extremist group.” Are there any ideological specifics to support her description?

If a fraudulently elected president orders federal troops to fire on US civilians and those troops obey, they violate the injunction against obeying unlawful orders.
In that case the troops would lose their Constitutional protection and it would not be treason to resist them with armed force.
IF YOU TRULY BELIEVE the lawful president was overthrown in a coup, it is not treason to resist with force.

Didn’t bother reading beyond the partiality you identified.

I am grateful beyond words for those men who are stepping tup to stop the overthrow of our country.

History is replete with countries where that didn’t happen and it’s tragic.

Any EXECUTIVE ORDER issued by a fraudulently elected president has no force of law.
Any who aid in the enforcement of such an order are LAWLESS AND ACCOUNTABLE for their lawless act.
IF YOU TRULY BELIEVE this election was fraudulent then you are not required to obey any such illegal order, and may lawfully resist any who attempt to enforce such an order.
Any government official attempting to implement an unlawful order may be subject to a lawful CITIZEN’S ARREST.

After Inauguration Day, conservatives will be fair game.

Conservatives have been fair game since the Obama Banana Republic,

My intention was to explicitly call attention to the double standard.

“The danger is if they inaugurate this criminal he has full control of the military that he can use against these so called far right extremists, white supremacists, militia and protesters.”

The military isn’t a bunch of brainwashed automatons.

Because the author is protecting the image of liberalism as perfect. Same reason they liberal media lies and calls Antifa violent ANARCHISTS instead of left-wing.

When Biden throws open enlistment to avowed leftists there will be scads of military willing to gun down “fascists” in the US.

It’s time for the Sunshine Soldiers and Fair Weather Warriors to shutup, go somewhere, take a crap, die.

Your fantasy world is being overthrown.

Sons of Liberty needed no wannabes.

If they will be controllable by Joe Biden or any other leftist, they’re shit, and will be defeated.

Throughout the day and into the evening, fights broke out between the Proud Boys, a far right extremist group, and Antifa/Black Lives Matter.

What is a filthy lying communist bitch like Beth Baumann doing on Townhall? Have they fallen also?

It looks like Trump will not get any satisfaction from the courts, the FBI, DOJ, Congress or state legislatures. He’ll look for relief there, as he must to fulfill his duty, and if he loses, the leftards will at least know they’ve been in a fight. But in the end, we will be stuck with Fake Potus and his/her overlords. That means resistance by all means necessary. If I were Trump, I’d move out of Mara Largo and stay with his daughter Ivanka’s family in Jerusalem, out of US jurisdiction, so they can’t arrest him on any fake charges. He might have to lose his SS detail and hire private security.

Proud Boys, despite leftist attempts to demonize them, are basically down for rallies and demonstrations, and if needed, a fist fight or two. But they are not militants, per se. To counter anti-fa, a hard-core paramilitary group, you are going to need a hard-core paramilitary group. Fortunately, many Trump supporters are veterans, more than a few with combat experience, among them non-coms and officers, and maybe a few trustworthy ex spooks and G Men who hate all that has been done to their once proud organizations. But it’ll have to be organized, and discreet channels of communication will have to be established to do that organizing. NOT the Internet.
