Just looking at the 90s to today is ignoring an awful lot of context about what political tensions in the US actually used to look like. Just over 100 years ago, political disagreements in West Virginia over unionization led to a full-scale paramilitary battle at Blair Mountain [1], with upwards of 13,000 people involved and complete with the anti-unionization side bringing in private planes as improved bombers.
