Well, I will end up something like that anyway in 10-30 years. And although you may prefer violence to defend your cultural ID, our side will not need to operate on yours that way. We will just prevail democratically, and you will just have to painlessly go along for a while with the new consensus and get more educated, at least to some extent. 

Meanwhile, I suppose you plan to defend your cultural ID by joining a militia. Or are you really going to put your body where your mouth is? Your militias will have to be put down violently, if they are violent; but that should be comparatively easy, and if you are violent alone or within this militia, you could end up on a cold slab or being left to rot on a street, or in jail for a long time, and your guns taken away. Perhaps re-education camps will do the trick to deprogram you? Who knows.

I suspect a lot of rhetoric and little to no action as the response to the white-right slowly losing power.  Are there alwasy a few violent radicals on the fringe?  Sure, but Classic doesn't seem cut out to be one of them.  People with much to lose tend to temper their actions.

You're right, the white-right losing the power it already lost many years ago isn't the problem/threat that the blue tribe and it's Democratic leaders are facing today. What you (the blue tribe) and the Democrats are actually  facing is the very  distinct possibility of a large scale American revolt. I don't know if you're aware (partisan hacks have a hard time seeing and hearing clearly) but the Democratic party is our government right now and it's functioning more like a third world dictatorship functions right now.

If your white-right side has lost power, then the "American revolt" which they would mount has lost some of its potential punch too, if it occurs. 

Since the Democratic Party's power might result in raising some taxes on your wealthy heroes (but which it hasn't so far), and that's always what you think is "dictatorial" (even though it hasn't happened yet), then you must be admitting that your side could be said to function like a third-world country. In fact, observers of places like Alabama, so bigly mis-ruled by your side, is just like one of those places. Indeed, it is.
