Why don't they go shoot up Beverly hills/Wall Street/police stations/court room/federal agencies etc.? Rich and powerful people rarely get hurt.

I don't think the fascists that would be spurred into action rn understand that with some theory and organizing they could create a vanguard of neo-nazis if they wanted to. They hold all the guns, they have all the money, they have billionaire backing, and their troops are passionate but unorganized. We're lucky rn that all we get are lone wolf spree killers and dipshit meemaws that march on the capitol and not like a real brown shirt force the police works with.
Leftists claim all the time that its hard to get people to take a risk because they've still got way too much to lose. This feels like the same problem. The folks that go all in on this shit are either elderly and deranged or too young to realize what they're throwing away.
And its not like they have all the guns, because the cops have a lot of guns. Nobody is going to storm NYC and pull Eric Adams off the throne when he's surrounded by the world's 6th largest military, the NYPD. Not that they even need to when NY billionaires love guys like Adams. But then you run into the real problem. Namely, that cops/border patrol/national guard/etc do far more damage than any lone wolf could dream of.
The real brown shirts just are the police. There's damned enough of them. Over 800,000 uniformed officers nationwide.
