I really hope all this chatter is social media amplifying the far left crazies for the sweet click income, and that the actual policy makers aren't quite this stupid.
If it was just Twitchy highlighting tweets it would just be a way toi get me worked up as I catch up on my news in the morning. Both of the above, however, were opinion pieces in MSM papers, including the one where "democracy dies in darkness".
While the first one might only happen if the squad starts running things, there are plenty of things in the second one that I believe would easily pass a vote in the current house and even senate. There are a bunch of establishment republicans that are looking for ways to go overboard regarding the capitol riots to show how "law and order" they are. Militias could easily become the bump stocks of 2020, with, again, antifa and BLM getting a free ride.
