Well, as foolish as that may be, it could most likely be a fatal flaw for a lot of Democrats.
They tend to have an inflated sense of confidence when it comes to their assumed power, in relation to politics and when the shit actually hits the fan.
There are a ton of seasoned hard-core individuals that simply avoid unnecessary conflict.
Just because some purple-haired fat chick that looks like tacklebox blew up in her face stands on a stage wearing her ***** hat and screaming at folks, doesn't really mean she actually has any power or backbone whatsoever when her opposition doesn't even think she is worth the trouble to argue with. That can gain ground in politics though.
However, if anyone thinks a bunch of pajama boys, with military training or not, led by Captain Crunch, are going to have snowball's chance in hell when they finally piss off those hard-core folks that just want to be left alone, then they will find out how fricken wrong they have been all along.
