The violent right wing is mostly smoke and mirrors.

Rush Limbaugh peaked out making $50 million per year telling lies and ginning up hate. What a brilliant scam. But he did not actually do anything, other than talk.

There are thousands of these RW influencers peddling threats and hate on the Internet. They are paid from the ads. They are in it for the money and they don't have to go out and get a real job. They don't make as much as Limbaugh, but it's a decent gig. They are followed by millions who do not actually do anything.

This is now the third guy since the Big Raid to do something, and he got arrested.

A few people show up at MaL with their trump flags, nobody showed up for the big FBI riot.

There's a lot of noise but that's about all. Most of the actual doers were rolled up after J6.

2. I agree. They are not going to give up their comfortable lives to play terrorists

And of course they are cowards or they wouldn’t be typing out threats on the Internet. The guy who threatened the FBI and was arrested talked big talk about how he wasn’t going to spend one second in custody. I think he spent probably 12 hours in custody already. The threat of Civil War from these guys really doesn’t scare me. Republicans and Trump taking power again really does scare me

3. Spot on. And the ones that weren't caught have watched

their buddies lose their jobs and rack up lawyers fees and jail time.

4. Some of them will sit in their basements and call and make threats to some

and they will be caught and brought to justice. This is one of the reasons Garland wanted to take down the Proud boys and other organizations leaderships. They are incapable of organizing themselves to anything of a real threat. It is the lone wolfs that are the biggest threat as we have seen.

6. Therein lies the problem with dangerous persuasion. The majority of GOP in congress & RW media hosts

know their senseless, gullible lot are easily persuaded by conspiracy theories and nonsense, and seek to profit politically & monetarily from them. None better at this grifting game than their leader the Con.
