Or like those 'wimps' who peacefully protested against pinochet and ended up in shallow graves. Or the 'wimps' at Tien An Min Square who got themselves reprogrammed in communist labor camps. Or the 'wimps' who got massacred while protesting in Usbekistan, just last month. Or like any of dozens of groups who found out that 'passive resistance' only works when you're opposing a regime that cares what their publics and the rest of the world thinks of their actions.
All of which is beside the point. I am emphatically NOT suggesting that liberal types engage in armed struggle. That would be treason, after all. What I _AM_ suggesting is that, if the fanatics of the far right attempt to mount a coup, it would behoove us loyal Americans to be in a position to oppose them.
