Europe did it differently. There, as would happen so many times elsewhere, the murders and beatings and bombings and general uproar played on the Euros' passion for order and, since most places were "civilized", the Fascisti and the Commies would get their way. Not so in Germany, where there was a strong counterweight to the Red Front which very often handed them their heads. They also had uniforms tailored by Hugo Boss.
With the attempts on Donald Trump's life plus the murder of Charliue Kirk, of whom I had heard but never followed except to see the blurbs of how he would hand various Lefties their heads in debates, it becomes a bit more clear we're reliving Japan's turmoil 100 years ago; whether we're about to relive Germany's has yet to be seen.
The hook here is that, while the Euros crave order, the Americans crave freedom,which has put the faculty lounge crowd on the wrong side of so many 80 - 20 issues. The last time the Feds tried to impose "order", the American people got restless in less than a year. That was the lockdown. Now it seems the bad guys want to scare Conservatives into silence. Few things might be apt to cause a revolt quicker.
Whether Conservatives are going to start bushwhacking Lefties orators (which, of course, would be playing into the Lefties' hands) is up in the air, but I doubt trying to repress the 1st Amendment rights of Conservatives, as they did on J6, is going to go over well and doubtless will have consequences.
Which leads to a truism going back to 20s Japan that echoes through history. When you go looking for a war, you often get more war than you can handle.
The Krauts, as well as the Nips, found that out. So did the Sioux at Wounded Knee.
Whether the Commies do has yewt to be seen.
