    Don’t even be fooled by this. They want these things and so they allow themselves to be cowed by these threats, but if they started receiving threats from the left you’d be seeing a call to arms.

      Yeah, totally agreed, the “they want these things and allow themselves to be cowed by threats” thing was exactly my point, I should probably edit that to be more clear

      Also, beyond the call to arms for vigilantes, you would also see a much much more aggressive response from law enforcement (like, compare their response to the Bundys occupying some territory vs the cop city protesters)
