unfortunately, i do believe very much - the fact of not paying enough attention and letting it all slip was the reason why both BLM and antifa were able to form and function.
the strength is always in numbers. a 3 ppl, even if armed with whatever - is still nothing. a 3000, all in one place - a different story.
these people - they do argue their position, recruit and foster their base every day, it is a quite effective non-stop ongoing propaganda machine. an ignorance of all that is hardly possible anymore, it pretty much just did cost us an election.
