The entire argument was that it is dumb to think that a few yokels playing militia or even an “armed civilian nation” with guns can take on the modern US military. You haven’t seen videos of local police taking on protestors during the civil rights movement with impunity? Do you think the current administration would have any problem doing the same in all of the cities he’s invaded with the National Guard and that his supporters - 40% of the country - wouldn’t just shrug like they did when he pardoned 1500+ domestic terrorist who look and think like them? I’m limiting it to national politicians who won the nomination to represent their party in Congress because no one cares what someone’s crazy uncle who calls themselves a Democrat thinks. You brought up “Communism”? What ideas are you now calling “socialist”? And everyone loves “socialism” as long as it benefits them - see almost every red state that gets more in federal tax dollars than they pay, Medicare, Medicaid, the ACA (as long as they don’t call it “ObamaCare”), give a few “socialist” ideas that national Democrats want to implement that you are afraid of? And “open borders” is another boogeyman talking point. Check how many illegal immigrants were deported by Obama vs Trump for instance or even Biden. https://tracreports.org/reports/759/ https://tracreports.org/reports/759/
