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 |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
