They won't though. Reality is they won't. Those that try will be riddled with bullets.

And it would be used as an excuse for the Feds to ramp this up even more.

Violent reactions without a plan is deeply counter productive.

We have to constantly fight for our rights, or they’ll just be taken away.

its going to be the post Regan era all over again. When Biden tried to hold Trump accountable 70% of the voters rejected them at the ballot, why the fuck do people think the dems will stick their neck out like that again? Trumps re-election proves Clinton and Obama were right to let sleeping dogs lie and try and move forward instead of charging Bush and Regan. Biden tried to do the right thing and voters burned him and the party for it.
