On Parler they are bragging they have kill lists of people who they don’t like and warn that they are coming.

What do you say to someone on those lists? The FBI doesn’t think these are LARPers.

I am really afraid of the ex armed forces types that think this is the funnest thing to do with their short time on Earth. But it’s real.

What will happen when they gain control of nuclear weapons or other mass weapons? Are they more angry at foreign foes, or purging liberals? Who is an easier fight?

"All of these authoritarian powers will, ironically, be invoked and justified in the name of stopping authoritarianism — not from those who wield power but from the movement that was just removed from power. Those who spent four years shrieking to great profit about the dangers of lurking “fascism” will — without realizing the irony — now use this merger of state and corporate power to consolidate their own authority, control the contours of permissible debate, and silence those who challenge them even further"
