At some point, a ‘Mussolini and the partisan’s’ ending might become more likely. At some point, there are lines in the sand that people will not abide. Truthfully, it doesn’t make any difference whether the line in the sand is an objectively reasonable one or not, or if many people support the thing others despise. The only thing that matters is if a person goes Defcon 8 over a particular issue. That’s when abortion clinics got bombed, historically. While that issue didn’t move me to act, it convinced some very unhappy people to take action. When people lose their healthcare and access to hospitals - and watch their loved ones die - some people just might get salty about that. Luigi out front should’ve told you.
Right now we are a deeply divided nation. We are also a deeply divided nation with 1.2 firearms per citizen. Instead of torches, the angry villagers have guns. When people offer up the Nazi Germany example, that knee bending was not done in a nation with more firearms per capita than people.
