    that's why i said "the media will label it as.." not that I agree. they'll call it the beginning of some civil war when it will mostly just be right on everyone else violence. anything to cover for the right. if the federal government does anything at all it will be attempt to quietly take out the ringleaders and scatter these groups or buy them off rather then risk having the population as a whole tilt leftward in response to this stuff.

      True, the media will obfuscate it and if any leftists attempt any type of defense will be seen as "leftists arming for war" or something else stupid. For me it's that by definition this is more of the same rightwing fash terrorism as seen during the height of the civil rights movement (given that LGBTQ rights is a new but equally important aspect of societal rights and self determinism that the rightwing will not abide).
