Problem is: there are a lot (on both sides) itching for a fight.
L: “You thieving capitalists better watch it or we’ll have a ‘Union Spring’ a la Egypt!”

Lather, rinse, repeat.
The rational will just sling more rhetoric.
Some nut will act on it. Harper’s Ferry, Archduke Ferdinand...
I think he believes that if it does happen, he's going to be held responsible, and he needs to be disabused of that notion.
And the commies are sitting on the side, agitating the conflict, so that when it gets “hot”, they can step in with government guns to quell the violence.
Bleeding Kansas ... Fort Sumter ...
Yes, there are.
The difference is that those voices on the "Right" are generally anonymous and confined to internet forum posts and backwater blogs. The Left, however, is proud to trot out their name brand bombthrowers like Moore in the MSM and encourage them to fling sparks at the powderkeg.
As with Harpers Ferry and Sarajevo 1914, these people have absolutely no idea of the depth of bloodshed they're in for once it starts and what freedom (should it still exist) will look like once it stops. These people have no clue of the horror that is neighbor killing neighbor. They think the depredations of Men At War are limited to "those people" on the other side of the planet.
What they advocate has no other logical end outside of acre upon acre of corpses.
