Masks and baseball bats, firebombs, doxing, photographing individuals, using those photos to conduct sophisticated searches for their personal data, then trying to get them thrown out of school or forced out of their jobs. Combing the rolls of political donors to identify the politically vulnerable and targeting them for destruction.

In essence, a well organized campaign of violence and intimidation to silence those who disagree with you.

Who will be the next targets for destruction? Who else will you attempt to silence and remove from the public square?

I offer no defense for racists or White Supremacists, but you’ve let the jeanie out of the bottle. Your fellow travelers have had a taste of blood and power. They are emboldened. Once they believe they have vanquished one target, they will seek out another. Who will it be?

Will you firebomb synagogues to show your support for Palestine, or Mosques, to protest the subjugation of women or rejection of LGBT rights, or churches for opposing abortion? How about city councilman or school board members who don’t vote the way you want them to, or individual police officers accused of wrongdoing, but not convicted?

You no longer see your opponents as flawed, or uneducated or misinformed individuals. You see them as enemies to be destroyed, clearing the path so that your way is the only way.

Those old enough, or who study history recognize that your tactics are very similar to the methods used by the communists to subjugate populations, or the Nazi brown shirts during Kristallnacht.

Separate. Isolate. Eliminate.

Your movement, your adopted tactics, are a serious threat to the rule of law, free people, and democracy itself, and a far greater danger than the baffoon currently residing in the White House.
