These U.S. militias are based on anti government, fear of rights and freedom being taken away and too much power from the criminals like the GQP in full control.
I wonder in time when they see all hell being unleashed, and the hits “they” are going ti see happen to them, if they do not go after THIS government.
And they are very well armed. Armed libs may join the fight.

It isn't that this "attack" did nothing to change anything for the better, indeed had absolutely no potential to change anything for the better, the attack was extremely counterproductive.

All it does is give the reich-wing a talking point to lie about, exaggerate, and amplify. It is tempting to assume that these people were instigated by an undercover reich-wing operative. But frankly, anyone stupid enough to do something like this might be stupid enough to come up with the idea on their own.
