We are witnessing the creation of America’s version of the German “Brownshirts”, but because they are not wearing fancy uniforms nobody is connecting the dots.

Does the current crop of societal destabilizers understand their role on the global chessboard, or will it first occur to them when they are put up against the wall? If history is any indication they will be the last to realize the game, but the mess they leave in their wake will be the burden of the rest of the world after they have been removed.
