Let's stop pretending that the Radical Left in this country has any other aim than destabilizing the United States government. If they are not successful in cowing the American public into submission during the 2018 elections, they will turn to direct defiance of federal authority and violent provocations as did the Fire Eaters in South Carolina before the Civil War.
Their aim will be to cause the government to call in federal troops to quell these disturbances, which will then provide them with an opportunity to propagandize these efforts as the imposition of a fascist state by those who oppose them. Their hope is that enough people will fall for this ruse and give them the opportunity to assume leadership of an ensuing revolution, as did the Bolsheviks during the Russian Revolution.
Be prepared: History does repeat itself.
