This was polled before the weird Patriot Front event today, too.

10% of 100 million is 10 million. Most of us think F47 has at least 10 million violent vigilantes around the country ready to kill on his behalf if so ordered. If that were split evenly across states, there'd be 200000 per state. How would your state handle 200000 dangerous bloodlusting rightwing fanatics?

Of course the per-state distribution would not be even -- population and ideological biases would definitely affect the balance. However, this in turn raises serious questions about what happens in a place like Texas when 500000 murderous nutjobs simultaneously take up their guns to do some human hunting.

I would guess an unpleasantly large share of these dangerous assholes are themselves working law enforcement and the "purge call" could go out while they're on patrol.

I don't know if there's any mitigation for this. F47 could easily cause a second American civil war or a third world war.
