4. Or to no fight at all. In Boston, the truth became clear.

A tiny group of right-wing creeps showed up and had to shelter in place while thousands surrounded their "Free Speech" protest. Following that, almost all of the right-wing's planned demonstrations were cancelled. They simply do not have the numbers, and their unloaded AR-15s are no protection against an overwhelming peaceful response in the thousands.

They know they're outnumbered and can't actually do the things they claim they can do. They can't admit that, but they know it. They go to such events armed because it makes them feel safer, somehow, against an overwhelming negative response. In reality, they're scared little boys trying to act like men. That makes them dangerous, but not on a major basis.

They are, quite simply, cowards, puffing themselves up and carrying firearms to try to allay their fears. It doesn't work. Then, if they are taken into custody for something, they cry bitter tears at being caught and facing some sort of punishment.
