Most are keyboard heroes only.

They, like their leader, are cowards.

I bet they won’t do anything.

in high population, high Dem areas in swing states. If there was a terrorist attack on a polling place cable news would cover it breathlessly all day long and some people!e might be scared into staying home.

And the solution is preparation to confront, in my opinion.

I am hopeful that there are liberal and progressive groups that will call to mobilize. In the meantime, I look to other anti-fascist forces for leadership on that front.

I think that staying attuned and being prepared to mobilize to the streets, to specific locations, is a good idea.

In their hearts, they are cowards. There would be very serious consequences for such acts. I don't see it happening.
