Jim Goad: “Enter the new Right Wing Death Squads…”

Rather than engaging in active political violence, right now the Right Wing Death Squad meme exists in the form of a clothing line, a Facebook group, a Twitter hashtag (#rwds), a musical subgenre, and some animated videos. Its most enduring image is of a communist being tossed from a helicopter, Pinochet-style. (…)

As Pat Buchanan, Peter Brimelow, and many others have noted, this country seems to be teetering dangerously close to a civil war. But since much of the left shows no signs of calming down and seems to truly desire a violent civil war, one glaring statistic does not bode well for them—gun ownership. Roughly twice as many Republicans say they own guns compared to Democrats, and lawdy knows a healthy quotient of those Trump-supporting “Nazis” own several guns.
