Honestly, the American political right is just very lucky that the left isn’t as predisposed toward violence as their own base.
If they were, I think you’d have definitely seen assassination attempts on certain figures.
And that’s touching off a chain reaction toward martial law.
When the KKK marches through streets with tiki torches, no state tried to stop them. Same for burning crosses in Alabama. Because the cops are in those the white robes and tacticool vests.
When the Black Panthers protected voters 1st amendment rights with the 2nd amendment, that’s when laws were passed to stop gun ownership.
If the left was anywhere as close as protective and expressive of their rights as the right, we would have had nationwide gun control established decades ago.
And perhaps more protections federally too, as Congress only passed the Civil Rights Act of 1968 under duress of activists and black panthers. If feminists and queer people did the same, we would have had amendments by now.
