re: #111 Ian G.

This. There was no armed revolt over the Civil Rights Act, and that was a far more contention issue than gay marriage, howling from the Limbaugh/Palin/Drudge idiot industrial complex notwithstanding.

Also, you need young people in the streets cracking skulls for a fascist revolt to succeed. The only place I see direct action by young people is FOR gay rights (that Catholic school in Washington). Old FOX viewers on blood pressure meds won’t last long in guerrilla conflict.

You may have missed out on all those church bombings, burnings and lynchings that were still happening around that time in the South.
