Back in the late 90s, people were worried that the "Michigan Milita" et al were going to rise up.
They'll never have the firepower that law enforcement has.

(10,434 posts)as actual brownshirts. They're the ones with a purpose, not just mindless followers.
Another example is the cop who vandalized businesses in Minneapolis so that BLM protests would be blamed. People like that.
Also, they don't have to worry about the firepower of law enforcement, they've infiltrated it. Liberals are the ones who need to worry about that. Just look at the response to BLM at the Capitol compared to the response to actual insurrectionists.

I hope that brings clarity to your question.

(6,011 posts)there was a rag tag group of neo-nazis who were headquartered on the South Side.
They would go and demonstrate in various parts of the city.
When they came to my North Side neighborhood, they were run out.
There were objects being thrown at them.
They also ran into trouble up in Skokie, IL, a Chicago suburb that was about 1/2 Jewish at the time, with many Holocaust survivors living in the town. There was a movie made about it.

Those "Illinois Nazis" in the movie "The Blues Brothers" were a direct parody of them.

(10,156 posts)These proud boy nazis and far right wingers are all tough talk until confronted and then they cowardly run away like the true spineless sheep they are. Reason I wish the Jan 6th terrorists were laid out with the guns that were available. Would have shut that shit down fast and sent them running like cowards

(1,530 posts)They showed up in DC Saturday morning, paraded around in formation with their shields. Then, when it came time to go back hoe, they were chased out by a couple of black guys and two white teenagers. Of course, they will go back home and tell war stories about how they were attacked by anti-fa and BLM thugs.
