That is what happens when you live in a bubble and only listen to what reinforces your existing biases.
Like immature children they can’t handle anything that presents a viewpoint that challenges their existing concepts so they actively avoid it (by armed militancy if required.)
In the past, that meant living as a hermit out among the other loonies in the boondocks, but with the rise of the Internet, satellite communication, and 24x7 Cable News and screaming pundits on 1500+ channels, now you can pick and choose your information sources and tailor it to reinforce your existing bigotries and bias.
This is done on both the left and the right, but is much more extreme (and well funded) on the far, far right.
Rage sells. Fear sells. The money moves to what sells and these guys spend LARGE sums on their Guns, Ammo, Gold, Bunkers, and Doomsday Prepping.
suckers.
Comedy gold.
If they had any intelligence or resourcefulness, they’d set up an Etsy shop and sell all the sex toys. There has got to be a market for them.
How about holding their “community meeting” outside in the snow?
Like jail?
Camou sex toys are the future.
Hopefully.
I heard someone joked about that, but I would bet it offends their manhood.
That’s the deal about fanaticism-- only one gear.
Once you wind it out-- you got no other choice
but pull the emergency brake lever
and hope there’s a runaway truck ramp up ahead.

Oregon Militiamen Have Trouble Finding Place To Hold Their Community Meeting
If I was a resident in the area and had a hall that could be rented, etc just why in any ones imagination would I want these bozos anywhere near the place.
The path is lined with cuttle bones, little mirrors with bells and tempting sprays of millet leaving the men easily distracted…
Funny thing is I’ll be on a call with a website consultant in about 2 hours-- who is a resident of Burns OR. Spoke with her last Thursday-- she says her community is pretty cheesed about it.

I’ve been around TPM a while and yesterday’s thread concerning Ritzheimer’s meltdown over sex toys sent to the refuge contained by far and away the all time finest snark and humor.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank all those (too many to list here) who participated once the comments were “unstuck” and enabled. You folks showed your prowess with the written word yesterday.
I’m sincere in this.
I needed it.
The Prime membership fee is worth it just for the comments. 
Undoubtedly Ritzheimer will put up a GoFundMe page with a goal of $1M for bus fare.

I like that one. “Roaming bands of armed thugs”.
Hmm…I can think of any number of spacious facilities just waiting to be occupied by Meal Team Six.
e-gonquin Round Table?
Wholeheartedly agree!
“Meal Team Six” = you win. 
Cracker Barrel. You should definitely hold your meeting there.
