Needless to say, I am thrilled that none of the horrid possibilities came to pass. Oath Keepers and others did a great job of informing their patriots about the possibilities and ramifications thereof. The shills and instigators did indeed show up, but every time one mouthed off trying to stir up trouble they were immediately confronted by nearby men that
We know who you are. We know why you are here. We will not tolerate your trouble. Get out of here NOW!
The instructions were in different words, often considered more forceful to modern ears. But the message was clear as was the end result demonstrating that
An armed society is a polite society.
The rabble rousers who have such great success where nobody has means of self-defense found their tactics failing completely when tens of thousands were openly carrying rifles and handguns. Somehow the thugs stowed their baseball bats and other weapons that worked so well in Democratic-controlled big cities.
They will adapt and adjust.
We must too.
