They're actually pissing off and shitting on a group of people that includes some who have seen battle, are trained marksmen and snipers, are experts with explosives and IED's with some of these people dealing with severe mental health issues resulting from the trauma of war.

If this keeps up I'd be surprised if we don't start seeing shootings/assassinations (or attempts) of public officials.

Especially those in this group who have considered themselves hardcore MAGA only to be fucked over.
