These dim wits just don’t get it.
OF COURSE there’s been a rise in anti-govenment sentiment! The whole frickin’ country is now anti-govenment. Why? Because the government has become tyrannical. Their response? Become MORE tyrannical!
Morons. Unfortunately, dangerous morons, and ones that mean us ill.

...But I think that all you have to do is to read the paper every day to see how many there are who are deeply, deeply troubled. We know, now, that there are people involved in groups — these ‘hatriot’ groups, the Oath Keepers, the Three Percenters, the others — 99 percent of them will never do anything they shouldn’t do. But there are people who advocate violence and anticipate violence.
One of these guys the other day said that all politics is just a prelude to the ultimate and inevitable civil war. You know, I’m a southerner. I know what happened. We were still paying for that 100 years later when I was a kid growing up, in ways large and small. It doesn’t take many people to take something like that seriously. So I don’t want the whole story of this retrospective just to be about this, and to try to turn everything into politics...
