    I’m inclined to agree, but I’ve seen signs of potential unrest.

    A household that has been decades gun free just got their sixth gun this year and a lot of ammo. Specifically citing a potential to stand their ground or die trying. We are talking about people who have lived 60 years without so much as a traffic ticket, never protesting anything, generally going along with things, now they they armed for talking a stand.

    Another mild mannered colleague that has been super peaceful and moderate is similarly talking about how “we” might have to violently fight. No idea what prep he might do, but his was the last voice I expected to hear say that.

    If people I’ve known to be very even keeled and moderate for decades are getting this close, I can’t imagine how close others are…

    I suppose we’ve been seeing the cracks start with two attempted trump assassinations and the Charlie Kirk assassination…
