The biggest difference is that they will face both police and National Guard if they try. It will be like the GOP response to the BLM protest with heavily armed troops, tanks, and helicopters.

You… know how many problems the police and military have with white supremacy in their ranks, right?

This is the legacy of the confederacy. There are a nontrivial number of people in law enforcement and the armed forces who unironically want to bring it back.

I think there was a song in the 90s about that, which someone will quote below.

Some of those that work forces, are the same that burn crosses.
