The infuriating part is when everyone on the Right goes on Twitter and pretends they are "feds" pretending to be Right Wing for...reasons? "Feds" was trending on Twitter as this happened, and the last time there was a fascist March, the one with the khakis.
Like I'm glad they are disowning these guys but doing it by calling them Feds is actually not saying it would be bad if it was real, seems like only a matter of time before one of these groups gets into a Waco-style shootout with police and they become martyrs for some reason.
The cops and FBI are riddled with right wing nutjobs. There's not been a Democrat to hold the position of FBI director, afaik.
Like how "antifa" did Jan 6? It's just every person who got caught and put on trial was the MAGA exception they "tricked" into the insurrection.
But simultaneously if they DID get arrested or something else happened Republicans would IMMEDIATELY be demanding their release.
Just like how J6 was all Democrat agitators but if Trump wins he'll be pardoning them all Day one.
Trump ain't gonna pardon shit. Do you know how much effort signing something takes, especially if it's helping out poor people? He'll leave em to rot except maybe one high profile case to make a show of things.
The Party of Personal Responsibility seems to be full of people who believe that any time someone agrees with them in public, it's part of a nefarious government plot to make them look bad.
