Thats what I am talking about. Of course it would not in the long run 'work' or 'make sense', but it would be essentially Waco 2.0, with the potential this time to embolden various other armed and dumb and violent right wingers all around the country, of which there are more, and they are more extreme and angry than during the Militia Movement 90s.

I grew up with a dad whose politics were heavily shaped by Ruby Ridge in WA.

While that situation was obviously a use of an absurd amount of force and arguably entrapment, such people like my dad now spend their days manufacturing/assembling illegal firearms in their garage, as they blather on about how Antifa did Jan 6th and Tom Hank's son kills rapes and eats babies for their adrenochrome, and i strongly get the impression there are a lot of similarly extreme and delusional people doing similar illegal dangerous nonsense all around America.

Powder keg.
