The Washington Post writer feared an armed faction of right-wing Trump zealots would “bear roughly the same symbiotic relationship to the GOP that the IRA had to the Sinn Fein party.”

It “doesn’t take many extremists to cause mayhem in a country awash in firearms,” noted Boot, a fierce critic of Trump and his enablers.

With right-wing violence now a top domestic terrorism threat, Boot said “a responsible political party would damp down its incendiary rhetoric and urge its supporters to moderate their zeal.”

But Republicans just “continue to fan the flames of hatred, violence and division.”

A bit more at the link. Rare that I read from HuffPost or post an OP, but this seems worthwhile. Is he hinting at a connection between Bannon and IRA without even mentioning him? Because both seek to thrive in an environment of a weak, bludgeoned government.
