Ahhhh, San Francisco. Hello from across the Bay, in Oakland

Well, as I said, "A coup in the wake of Hillary Clinton winning the election? Probably not." But also, as I said, I find the possibility less remote than it was three years ago.

Certainly I don't find the possibility of right wing violence in the wake of the election at all "remote." My perspective includes not only San Francisco, but the American south, where that kind of terrorism is practically old hat. My concern is less about a coup than an increase in the kind of militia violence we saw in the '90s, and have been seeing on the increase lately.

"We also have indications of another country attempting to affect the outcome of our election."

Welcome to the club. Now you know what it feels like.

I never imagined it would feel good, which is why I have been so critical about US intervention in the affairs of other countries. (Which, by the way helped earn me the completely inaccurate reputation here in the past of being a wild-eyed radical leftist.)

And I have never been so callous as to portray myself eagerly eating popcorn or being amused as I watched it happen to another country.

Fascinating story. But do tell us some more about yourself.

I certainly will if I spot unwarranted and ill-natured assumptions about me in a comment.

Do you have anything actually relevant to say about the op?
