However, I see the value in Bikers, Oathkeepers, and other real Americans sticking around
If you have no capacity for violence then you are a healthy productive citizen, a sheep.
If you have a capacity for violence and no empathy for your fellow citizens, then you have defined an aggressive sociopath, a wolf.
But what if you have a capacity for violence, and a deep love for your fellow citizens?
What do you have then? A sheepdog, a warrior, someone who is walking the hero’s path. Someone who can walk into the heart of darkness, into the universal human phobia, and walk out unscathed

The best thing is to know when, how, and towards what.
Jesus took it to a celestial level. He died, in order to set up Satan a knock out punch.
Having a capacity for violence is the best reason for preferring peace - and for ending any conflict decisively and in most cases permanently whenever others initiate violence or otherwise present no acceptable alternative.
To further clarify here... it’s probably unlikely that any biker would need to actually die in this context. However, many may need to swallow their pride, in order to countenance the possibility of persuading their enemies to become their friends. Swallowing one’s pride is a kind of death. But it makes room for a different life, one that comes from above, rather than from below.
Something is going to budge if America is really to move off of the hate-based dime.
