I'd like to see leads concerning contact groups, both broad range and local.

This is the very thing the "right" has been doing now for some time. They're not only heavily networked online, they've been conducting all manner of preparatory and paramilitary affairs now for years.

I'm not a gun owner, and I never have been, but it's a bitter reality that the brunt of the gun culture belongs to this maga movement. The very same internet trolls that brutalize civil-minded people, are the very ones with caches of military grade weaponry, body armor and stores of ammo. I'm serious as a heart attack about that fact, and there's good reason for us all to be anxious and fearful.

I don't think people understand what the gaming industry and internet culture did to the minds of our youth. The same young men who are active in our present military have all been desensitized and aligned to identify with Trumpian ideology, and Trump is determined to wrest power away from the bastions of military honor and integrity to then infuse his own direction into the ranks.

We have to start touching bases in a concerted way, and with immediacy.
