They DON'T want to live in peace. They don't want to accept the democratic process. They don't want to have to live with any democratic policy. They are working themselves up to something, and Jan 6th was just the first crack at it.
When people tell you who they are, believe them. Expect that eventually these particular people are going to bring violence to your doorstep, if they haven't already. Be ready to defend yourself.
A lot of people are discovering the fear that minorities have to live with every day.
They like to look tough saying that, but when they find out how many of their opponents are just as capable of and willing to fight such a war the reality that sinks into their faces is fun to watch.
One thing that still heartens me is that the right so abhors violence still (especially against the police) that there is a rampent conspiracy that all the violence at Jan 6th was staged Antifa actors not right wingers. So that's good that the instincts are not that violence against the police is good.
Imagine if all these saber rattlers did so for democracy and corporate accountability. Republicans are literally in bed with corporations right now if they can't take their tough guy act and apply it to the obvious elephant in the room.
