Far-right extremists are attempting to incite an insurrection to hasten the downfall of what they see as a deeply corrupt U.S. government. Some could resort to deadly acts of terrorism.

“No liberal democracy has ever defeated a bolshevik takeover…”

General Pinochet begs to differ.

If you don’t think our elected officials are corrupt you must be benefiting from it.

Did I say a thing about initiating violence?

Sitting on our areses waiting for the Constitution to save us sure is not the answer. Not when those in power use the Constitution to further subvert us. Time to take to the streets and peacefully protest, and do so daily.

This dude has an agenda.

There was a 2nd article he authored at the CFR site which worries about the rise of “white nationalist terrorism.”

General Pinochet was not a liberal democrat.

In fact, events in Chile really prove my point. When things have gone this far, you have to bring out the helicopters or give in.

“General Pinochet was not a liberal democrat.”

You didn’t say “liberal democrat”. You said “liberal democracy”.

There’s a bit of a difference.

Did I mention anything even remotely suggesting violence? I didn't. But I guess your brain can only suggest violence as a way of fighting back, and therefore you suggest that I was suggesting something I didn't suggest at all.

Besides that. Jan.6th was a fedsurrection. It was not the product of Trump supporters, Ted Jr.

Hoffman is obviously an operative, paid or true believer, pushing the Democrats’ current gaslighting tactic, which is to demonize their political opponents as domestic terrorists, then use that to strip them of free speech, press, jobs, and sometimes liberty. This is also their tactic to keep racial minorities from voting with “conservatives”. For the past couple of years, the FBI/DoJ has made us all laugh by declaring “white nationalist terrorism” to be the nation’s biggest threat, ignoring the thousands slain annually via non-white career criminals (evidently to the FBI, black lives do not matter). Expect the FBI to self-fulfill their prophecy by making “white nationalism” the prime theme for agent provocateur ops.

Sorry, I consider protests, marches, demonstrations, etc. to be the lowest form of political discourse. Want no part of it. Plus I have to work.

Our Founding Fathers disagree with you intensely. You deserve what will become of you and your family members. good luck to you, for luck is the only thing you have going for you, and from experience I know that luck is a fickle partner to hitch your wagon to.

Big talk. Let me know when the mass protest you are going to lead is scheduled.

How long “before the U.S. government takes decisive action against this threat.”

What manner of violence will the USG use against the citizenry? It is always the same MO from the Left.

CIA gave grants to:

•A grant of $100,000 for Bruce Hoffman, vice president for external affairs and public spokesman for RAND and a frequent columnist and guest on National Public Radio commenting on terrorism issues. Mr. Hoffman was granted high-level security clearances at the CIA as part of his consultancy....

Since when does Pinochet count as “liberal democracy” ?

When I mentioned, Pinochet, Salazar and Franco as successes, compared to the endless failures of “Constitutional Conservatives”, all I got was endless shreiking and leftist-style name calling.
