Fleets of pontoon boats with pissed off Floridians raiding an oil rig. Ahhh, only in an ideal world.
You know what?! I think you are on to something. They need a person to represent their enemy. Someone to be that strawman. This gives them the surreal idea that they can shoot and kill that enemy. Somehow that is the only way they can make their “common sense” make sense. If problems are too big or complex, they can’t rationalize it. Blaming everything they consider bad on a person is a perfect solution.
That already happens with Satan. Unfortunately, some enterprising evangelists have convinced their congregation that he is not only real, but infecting people the pastor doesn’t like.
Don’t be surprised when FEMA agents get shot.
I remember a story I heard from a Katrina survivor, in which some guys attempted to kidnap her and before they could were scared off by her father emerging with a shotgun. Seems they can indeed be useful sometimes.
Of course, if you need a screwdriver don’t try a hammer, and if you need a hammer don’t try a gun unless it’s a .22 cal ramset.
These are people who chronically cannot handle feeling out of control. If the kids are playing too loud, they start yelling at them to be quiet. If the they feel afraid, they need an emotional support weapon. And they are always afraid. It’s a scary world when you don’t understand how anything works.
