If the bullets do start flying, you can be certain none of these flame-fanners will be on the front lines. There are sleeping dragons in this nation of ours. They won't be able to remain asleep as they did in Malcolm X's day. Too much has been revealed, too much is known, and too long have we slept.

If the bullets do start flying, we will ensure the front lines are brought to the instigators' front door steps and all of their enclaves. There will be no fiddle to play, nor place to play it when things begin burning.

I ain't a killer, but don't push me.

Having said that, we HAVE to beat Trump at the ballot and resist the temptation to invoke Section 3. If it is used to unilaterally keep Trump off the ballot, not only will that set a precedent that the right will certainly use to further turn our elections into more of a joke (they already label everything the left does as "insurrection"). It will also increase Trump's false narrative of victim-hood and martydom, making certain that bullets will begin flying. Ironically, a clause in an amendment born in the aftermath of the Civil War, if used now in this way, will almost certainly lead us into another Civil War.

Yet another white dude with yet another opinion. Is that opinion founded in Wisdom? I don't know, you tell me.
