The alt-right militias prepare for war

More militia mishegas.
Here's an article by David Zucchino of the New York Times about yet another group of gun nut militia losers hanging out in the woods--this time in Georgia--firing their guns at cow shit and spewing racist garbage from their bent and sagging aluminum folding chairs in preparation for overthrowing the government if Clinton wins. Just as soon as they finish this beer and cigarette.
They cough up blood, refusing to see a doctor even while they bitch about Obamacare. They fantasize about the government taking their guns, then come home to find their trailer door kicked in and that, actually, all their guns and ammo are missing because some other fucking redneck broke in and stole them.
This isn't a basket of deplorables. This is a rusty outhouse bucket of belly-aching post prandial filth.
We have tried in the past to understand the socio-economic kiln of despair that half-bakes these gun nut militia threeper types. But the truth is, there are many people who spend their lives slinging hash at Waffle House or senselessly punching holes in sheet metal to earn a living--people who endure the same if not great socio-economic strife--and yet who don't yield to the uglier angels of hate and racism and xenophobia, and see guns as the solution to everything.
This is a really depressing article. And it makes us miss Janet Reno.
