Believing otherwise is hiding in a dream world.

That is a threat that needs to be sourced and evaluated which is the appropriate work of the FBI.

But even now, Democracy will be on the edge.
Trump has now raised the prospect of having somebody declared mentally ill as a pretext of having them involuntarily confined to a mental institution where they will see no lawyer or judge. It's the tool that dictators use to subdue their opponents.

People did not want to hear it, but things would have gotten even crazier had he lost to Hillary. We actually avoided, or put off the bloodshed, and make no mistake, had she tried to seat a SCJ, there WOULD have been violence.

(61,695 posts)I've learned a lot about neo-nazi symbolism from his show and his discussions with members of cells with a variety of names.
Last night, he told the story of the murder of Andrew Chuck of MA, a former member of Atom Waffen. Andrew almost went to eastern Europe to train with nazi paramilitary, but his sister talked him out of it. He got straightened out after some time with the French Foreign Legion, but was murdered at age 18.
Picciolini also interviewed hate-master James Mason, an old nazi with a publication. Mason advises young nazis that if they are going to commit a act of violence, that they do it right. He said it was a shame that the one that killed Heather Heier is in prison for life, that he should have done it right and killed 50 of "the communists." Such a vile man.

(972 posts)I think we will likely be looking at a decade plus of low intensity conflict. You hear people talk about armed opposition and they immediately start talking about how the government has tank and planes and other conventional assets. It's not going to be like a set army marching out to be blown up. It will be people striking at soft targets like we've witness multiple times now. The scary part is there are probably thousands of people out there like this shooter who have means to commit such an act but haven't quite reached the tipping point for the motivation to carry it out.

I don't remember the exact sequence of my analysis, but shopping malls featured prominently. You don't have to blow up chemical plants to inflict the most damage on people's state of mind, you just have to make public spaces feel unsafe and be unsafe. It would just be so easy. I could see it all in my mind's eye.
And dammit, bit by bit we have done it to ourselves. All by ourselves.
So now when we have Trump whipping up the frenzy of hatred we have a mass murder every single day. By white American men against the American way of life.
No Islamic jihadists need bother.
