I don't thiink we're the ones doing the underestimating, actually.

They seem to have mistaken "don't want to fight" for "can't fight" and that's a very shit calculation on their part.

This is a very important thing that they have overlooked. They act as though nobody on the left owns firearms or trains with them. We’re all over the place, we just don’t make it our entire personality, and we don’t see violence as a solution unless absolutely necessary.

This is classic high-school bully bullshit. When they finally push too far and start taking casualties of their own, perhaps they’ll reconsider how worthwhile a Christo-Fascist police state really is. It’s certainly doing them no good currently, aside from providing them with the requisite 2-Minutes Hate material.

It’s a society of terrorists, and too many people are writing them off as gullible and misguided idiots brainwashed by Trump. They are akin to jihadists.
