What does the conviction of the Oath Keepers leaders mean for the US?

Right-wing militia group leaders have been convicted of seditious conspiracy in the US, a development described as a game changer for the government. But will it prove a blow to right-wing movements nationwide? Or will Elmer Stuart Rhodes and the Oath Keepers grow stronger from persecution?

This situation has some very clear similarities to British Isles History. A civil war situation happened in the British Isles in the era around the Cavaliers and Roundheads - Royalists and Parliamentarians - And occurred some 200 years after the Reigns of Henry VIII and Queen Elizabeth the First. This situation of these individuals emerging has some marked similarities with that. And I am well aware that this comparison may be disputed - but it is a similarity that cannot be completely denied. The US was going to have this similar problem and almost 250 years after the inception of the USA itself!

The situation has echoes of a very similar repeat in this land today.. We have conflicting contradiction between all communities in Britain. The pandemic has accelerated this - in both our countries.. the difficulties we face are the same.
