Last night while I was watching MSNBC with a friend and discussing this hate rally and its implications, one of the anchors displayed a chart that had been created by an expert on terrorism. The chart showed that approximately 5%, or 13 million belong to this cult of extremists. The fact that this rally was attended by so few of the 13 million and that almost all of them came from across the country - not from Youngstown - led to our discussing exactly what the impending violence by said cultists might look like in reality - when scattered in hamlet, town, rural areas and cities. I personally know of two freakish women in my county who, if they could afford the trip, would have been at that rally waving their finger at their dear leader. However, they live out in the country in their double-wides, with dirt roads leading to their homes, using propane for fuel, and raise rabbits for high school kids to show at county fairs. Their unemployable husbands depend upon their rabbit-raising spouses to clean houses for their meager living. If this is an example of what I need to fear, I'm not going to lose any sleep. I fired both of them three years ago. My friend noted that local law enforcement would put down anything those two or their husbands might attempt if they want to contribute to "The Storm." This sounds snarky and I do apologize for the tone. But that is my impression of the members of this cult group. They are sick, demented, and angry. They are armed. But unless they come gunning after me personally, I tend to think they'll do something really stupid to their neighbors (who are "other" and whom they hate) and that will be the end of their involvement in an uprising.
Ellen…hi Fab…. That is def one way it will play out. There will be lots of scenarios trying for the dramatic but achieving nothing. I know a few who I will help break their fall. But not many. My interest will be when the followers turn on their Machiavellian leaders. To court a cult is just plain stupid.
Trump wearing a Q on his lapel is dastardly and desperate.

One hopes you are dead-on accurate, Ellen.
