At this point in 2022 with elections looking to go very red in November the left is getting increasingly desperate. Celebrities seem near panic as evidence (has been) star Bette Midler, trying to be relevant, has reportedly urged demonstrators going to protest at the Republican National Convention “to go armed”. And here I thought Bette was one of those anti-gun liberals? Of course, perhaps she was suggesting water pistols but somehow that just doesn’t seem to fit the general conception of “going armed”. I must conclude that old witch must think all those speeches, all the hot air must be somehow a lethal threat to the rabble leftist mob which will be kept at a safe distance by police, or will they?
I just don’t know what Midler has on her mind but even suggesting these mobs of Antifa, BLM, and general nut cases should go armed to an adversary’s political convention goes way beyond any sane idea. All it would take is one nut, one crazy radical to start a de-facto civil war. If any prominent Republican would be shot – – well WW1 was started by a single radical killer.
Bette better hope that this poorly thought out inducement doesn’t come back to bit her ample butt. If the worse were to happen, she can’t unsay it, can’t claim it wasn’t what she meant, because no one will buy it.
This year, Marxist Socialists have proven beyond any reason that they are a disaster. The “Gang That Couldn’t Shoot Straight” looks like sharpshooters by comparison. And such a term brings me to a worst-case scenario: a civil war possibility. Some on both sides would like nothing better but that must be a last resort. Mostly I fear Antifa and BLM being the most likely instigators and the Left I’ve heard about seem to think our military will fall into their side. Given, as I estimate that about 90% of our military are Conservatives, I do not believe the Left has hope for that. The thugs and criminals of these domestic terrorist types, in large measure, have had no military training. Thus, it will fall to lawful gun owners, vast numbers of whom have had military training, who can save our Republic if the military does not. I don’t think that will be necessary because, even though some top generals are Biden appointees, it is inconceivable to me that operational ranks would side with Marxists.
