JMV @#112. Brilliant analysis of what’s going on.

“Since convservatives still live in a society where you don’t retaliate against someone for their political views, publically supporting McCain exposes you to an asymmetrical threat.”

Bingo.

That’s why I lay low and stay under the radar. There are people in my family and in my wife’s family that I don’t want to alienate. There are people I work with who I don’t wish to provide motivation to backstab me. I don’t want my car keyed or my tires slashed. Or my house spray painted.

But eventually, if it ever came to a worst case scenario and the Left started really doing the Brownshirt or NKVD thing, they had better watch it. A lot of us are armed, and we know how to shoot.
