What about BLM & ANTIFA?
CLEVELAND -- Recent months have seen “militias” in the news: the Wolverine Watchmen, charged with planning to kidnap, try, and execute the Michigan governor; the Three Percenters, charged with storming the U.S. Capitol, hoping to prevent Congress from certifying the Electoral College results; the Rise of the Moors group in an Independence Day-weekend standoff with Massachusetts police; and others. Some are openly anti-government. Some purport to defend constitutional government. Some claim to support local authorities. Most, if not all, call themselves “constitutional militia.” They are not.
The militia provided for by the U.S. Constitution is a government function, subject to government regulation. This was true of the “independent militias” of the 18th and 19th centuries, as well as the state militias.
The Articles of Confederation, written when the War of Independence was still being fought, required each state to “keep up a well regulated and disciplined militia ....” Article I, Section 8 of the U.S. Constitution empowers Congress, “To provide for organizing, arming and disciplining the militia ...” States are responsible to train the militia “according to the discipline prescribed by Congress.” Writing in Federalist Papers No. 29, Alexander Hamilton argued: “If a well-regulated militia be the most natural defense of a free country, it ought to be under the regulation of and at the disposal of the body which is constituted the guardian of the national security,” i.e., the federal government.

When a group of men and women equip themselves with AR-15s, camos, body armor, and other combat gear, they can proclaim themselves a “constitutional militia,” but they are not. They are not part of state government, and they are not well-regulated by government. Consequently, they do not act under constitutional authority.

They are self-described militias? And btw...where is ANTIFA headquartered as an organization?
Antifa is a left-wing, anti-fascist and anti-racist political movement in the United States. It is highly decentralized and comprises an array of autonomous groups that aim to achieve their objectives through the use of both nonviolent and violent direct action rather than through policy reform.
Right wing militias OTOH...
Violence by far right is among US’s most dangerous terrorist threats, study finds
Center for Strategic and International Studies analysis of domestic terrorist incidents found majority have come from far right
https://www.theguardian.com/world/20...hreat-analysisThe militia movement is a relatively new right-wing extremist movement consisting of armed paramilitary groups, both formal and informal, with an anti-government, conspiracy-oriented ideology.

BLUEXITA Modest Proposal For Separating Blue States From Red
Dear Red-State Trump Voter,
Let’s face it, guys: We’re done.
It is a tragedy that so much of the work that so many men and women toiled at for so long to make this a better country, and a better world, has been thrown away, leaving us all in such needless peril.
This is why our separation in all but name is necessary.

Antifa is an online group. They have no real-life organization. They are righty boogiemen.

A sad commentary on we, as a people, and our viewpoint of our freedom can be summed up like this. We have liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, yet those very people look at Constitutionalists as radical and extreme.................so those liberals and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans must believe that the constitution is radical and extreme.

After the Constitution was adopted, the 1st Congress sent to the states the Bill of Rights, including the Second Amendment, which states: “A well regulated militia [is] necessary to the security of a free state ....” The 2nd Congress enacted the Militia Acts of 1792, which were signed into law by President George Washington – a former Virginia militia officer. The Militia Acts provided, among other things, “That the rules of discipline approved and established by Congress ... shall be the rules of discipline to be observed by the militia throughout the United States ....”
The Militia Acts also recognized that, in some states, there were militia companies which “by the laws, customs or usages thereof have not been incorporated with or subject to the general regulation of the militia,” i.e., the independent militia. Congress permitted the independents to continue “subject, nevertheless, to all other duties required by this act, in like manner with other militia.” (Emphasis added.) In other words, from 1792 onward, the independent militias were regulated by federal law. With the National Guard Act of 1903, the independent militias were no longer authorized.
