If they're anything like the idiots in Germany they probably dream of a collapse of society and a following civil war that they get out on top of.

This is exactly it, still have a lot of family in cult45 and it's crazy how many of the boomer generation WANT a civil war because they imagine it will improve their standing.

If it does happen, it's probably going to go the way the last one did.

They're more likely to have preparations in place for some sort of total societal collapse, and they dream of the day when "Society and laws" are replaced by "Might makes right" mad max style anarchy.

Pretty sure this is pretty much it here too.

Because they're domestic terrorists. If you had someone from Russia, the Middle East, etc. they'd be calling these people terrorists. But since they're white they're "white supremacists" or "far-right extremists".

I know terrorist is thrown around too often, but in this case call them what they are.

They called themselves domestic terrorists at CPAC on a giant banner.

Because they pretty much rely on people being chill and not fucking them up, and we rely heavily on our power grids for daily life.

Is it because their policies are deeply unpopular so they turn to terrorism? Just some typical abuser shit on a bigger scale. "If I cannot have what I want I will destroy it."

Because they only bring brownouts and blackouts, never whiteouts. 😂

They're trying to ensure a societal collapse because they believe a race-war will follow.

Yeah but a white person is easier to see in the dark than a black person.

Yea. Do they forget that we're allowed to arm ourselves, too? Lol, it's silly that these people really want to pick a fight with pacifists. At least speaking for myself. I would rather not cause harm to others because I know I'll get results. I just want to live in peace with my family.

Why they HAVE BEEN, like for a while....
