All true, and trust me, I've engaged with people who literally think we are in a "cold civil war" and that they have to stockpile guns in order to be ready when it "goes hot." Yikes.
I still think the version I was referencing with the caption "what is the difference" is a bit premature. We're not to that point... yet. I do like the version where the caption is "Is it just me, or is Republican Christianity starting to look a lot like extremist Islam?" That accurately sums up my complaint against these people: they are BECOMING more and more radicalized, and their rhetoric is mirroring that of the violent (my fear is that their insane persecution complex is going to make more of them cross over that line than the tiny handful we've seen in the past.)
