re: #5 Ian G.
I just remind myself that the younger generations in this country overwhelmingly reject this insanity, and thus are depriving these loons of the stormtroopers they would need for a violent revolution.
I’m not naive enough to think these loons are incapable of violence, but it’s hard to launch a guerrilla insurgency on the backs of a bunch of overweight 65-year-olds on lipitor.
If I may interject a cautionary point: not all the younger generation. It’s hard to track down, but young (18-30) whites voted slightly against Obama. Filter that further for male and/or south and delete the word slightly.
I’ve got this suspicion, just from polling indications, that southern white males are going to be a problem on these issues for a long, long time.
