FWIW, by this point (call to arms) in the 2014 Cliven Bundy standoff, there were 10s of thousands of comments expressing support. In the days leading up the 2016 Malheur standoff, there were several hundred online supporters. In the current case, there's only a couple dozen people "liking" the posts calling for support.

I've been staying quiet on the Idaho situation so far because I didn't want to given them oxygen.

Here's an interesting video from earlier this month, when deputies served Ammon his court papers.

Ammon think he has protected his assets (the Idaho apple farm/home) from his civil case by "selling" it to an LLC in December. The mailing address for that LLC, BTW, is his campaign treasurer's address...

In the April video, though, he clearly states "Stay the hell off my property" and "I bought the place, not you."

Sorry about the typos. I've got a bit of a headache.
