Earlier this month, armed protesters showed up at the home of Michigan’s secretary of state to protest election results showing Joe Biden won Michigan. Polarization in our country has generated extreme thinking and actions. When you couple this with the availability of guns, it makes for potentially volatile situations. The similarities to Germany in the 1930s are concerning. The U.S. protesters usually don’t wear brown shirts, more like plaid, but they have the same mission, to intimidate and demand compliance. |

Stier-scheisse! Antifa and BLM are much closer to 1930s Germany --- in fact, ANTIFA was ACTUALLY AROUND in 1930s Germany, known there as Antifaschiste Aktion. Even the dual flag symbol was similar!
I wish people knew ACTUAL history so they didn't have to make it up from their stilted imaginations. |

First off, most of those who the author identifies as "extremist" are decidedly not.
The sad truth is that the armed Deep State poses the widest danger of all. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
