Arms and the Right

Shortly after the election, I did a post which pointed out the disconnect between the GOP’s policy positions and the actual objectives of the right (censorship; school purges; religious tests). Almost on cue, state legislatures started passing bills that corresponded to these reactionary wish lists.

In addition to this, some reactionary intellectual leaders have figured out that they can’t get everything they want through our current system of government. They are calling for a counterrevolution of some kind, but not prescribing how it would happen. How long will it take before we start seeing a much more widespread and dangerous militia movement in response to these calls for action?

Things are moving fast. I hope I’m wrong, but my guess is that the right will start openly threatening violence before 2024.
