1) Pr*ud Boy type groups NEVER bring static to Compton or the South Bronx. There's a reason for that. REAL soldiers expect that someone will be shooting back at them, respect the enemy may be well capable of killing them & go in anyway. What do these PB types do?>

2) When you see these people attacking protesters, they are, for the most part, attacking other white people. Usually in some version of a pile-on. Again, in a scrap where numbers are close to equal, a lot of woofing is done but precious little violence happens. Why?

3) You can't have a race war if no one shows up. While there are lots of kinds of racists (and yes, there are racists in ALL ethnic groups. bite me on that.) have a single common flaw in their reasoning.
They think the fear and rage that drives them is secretly bubbling under>>

the surface of all the people in their own ethnic group and, even more importantly, under the skins of those people who they consider subhuman. IOW: they think we're all just waiting to go for the knives as soon as the bell rings. This is demonstrably false. >>
While the numbers of white people who might minimize the the threat posed by such groups or disbelieve in it altogether is certainly higher than I'd like, the number of white people just waiting to shove us all in cages or back into chains or into our graves is >>
nowhere near a majority. Much to the chagrin of the white supremacists, the crowds protesting legal and social inequity are multi-gender, multi-generational & entirely multi-ethnic. the majority of whites, like the majority of non-whites, don't want to join up for the rage war. >
most human beings share the trait of just wanting to be mostly left the hell alone. So they don't have enough white support and none is forthcoming.
On the other side, "my" side, again there's no rage. there is a need for justice and fairness. there's a need for the nation, >>

possibly the entire western world, not to DIE or burn but simply to live up to the ideals it's constantly claiming it has. Longing for justice, even fighting for it doesn't generate the necessary fuel for a race war. No problem that can be half solved by being more polite,>>
generates enough rage.
The racists can't see what the world is and so are in perpetual fury that it refuses to conform, that the match refuses to ignite.
If it worked the way they think, none of the hard fought strides that have been made to take us all way from the hellhole>

5) which brings us to hitler and his media playbook.
Without getting into Germany's demographics in the 1930s, let's stipulate that Hitler's nazis knew they made up a tiny percentage of the political population & an infinitesimal percent of the gen pop. >>

So they staged events to make themselves SEEM like an army, to make themselves SEEM like they were everywhere, speaking for a mass of like-minded Germans and used those media events to intimidate their way into actual power.
Now, the USA ain't Germany and this isn't the 1930s>>

instill fear and, most important, foment disarray. Chaos serves him best because, being neither intelligent nor strong, he has to count on the weaknesses in his opponents to do his work for him.

as we get closer to Nov. 3, stuff's going to ramp up. things will get uglier and there will likely be increased violence made to seem more devastating and important than it is by the still easy-to-lead news media trumpeting it that way.

of election day too. Some really ugly stuff WILL happen. Yes, probably a few deaths.
But that's when you remember the math.
They know and you should know that WE outnumber THEM by orders of magnitude. They simply do not have the manpower to stop or intimidate enough of us>>

What they're counting on is your inability to count because you've been distracted or made fearful of bad things coming.

the ploy that turned the already crappy GOP into the craven group of spineless toadies that suck Trump's ass today is their fear of being individually targeted & voted out by his Deplorables.
the old "I only have six bullets" threat that keeps an army from attacking. >

because nobody wants to be one of the 6 to catch one.
But they don't have any bullets. They fired all their shots & we're still here, still voting,l protesting, still kicking that bastard out.
WE outnumber THEM. And they know it. They are shitting themselves over the math.>>
