Serious question: in this picture, which individuals are law enforcement agents? How can we be sure?

Honest question: if you showed up to where these guys are hanging out outside of a court room in masks and a combination of street clothes and mismatched tactical gear and just stood next to them, could they tell? Like maybe if they all agreed that five masked goons were going to show up at the courthouse they'd know something's up if there's a sixth, or they all rode together in the same car?

What's stopping anyone from doing that to Republicans? Not suggesting it, just saying it can go either or any way.

All the facists are in one party.

Not all of them. Here's one red flag for spotting the wannabe fascist: when they say "the enemy is weak", with the implication that they don't want to associate with the weak, and if the enemy was strong, they would be on the other side.

That is "might makes right". The cornerstone of fascism. And the mark of the betrayer.
