IMHO, the dirty secret: once that reaction starts, it's not going to stop until all provocateurs are dealt with-foot soldiers, media agitators, politicians, and those behind the curtain.
There is a low grade boil that hasn't stopped even with the election of Trump, and I think the Deep State knows this at higher levels. Think 1789.
Don't like the the thought, but I can't help thinking things have taken a life of their own.
A curious (if ominous) post I recall reading several years ago—possibly here?—was from a gun store employee, who said that in recent years he had well-to-do customers buying multiple assault rifles, spare mags, tactical gear, ammo...like they were buying combat sets for several people. When asked why, they said it was for their families...they were fearing a French Revolution-type scenario.

History and change march on. The changes in this country over the past few decades have been enormous, profound and probably irreversible. I think the present historical currents are swiftly leading us toward a much different and far less unified America. The cultural/political divide is tearing us apart slowly but surely.
