Yesterday the FBI charged a bunch of far-right domestic terrorists with planning on kidnapping the governor of Michigan, conducting a show trial, and potentially murdering her, as show trials historically do not have heartwarming underdog twists. This didn't get enough press because reality is a quicksand field that also serves as a sinkhole for runoff from a nearby diarrhea factory.

Yes, America kind of feels nowadays like a decomposing latex Ninja Turtle. The United States is a divided nation, meaning that a "civil war" is no longer just a thing for divorced dads to reenact, and according to fairly credible political prognosticators, far-right domestic paramilitary groups are the country's foremost terror threat.

The reasons being, of course, is that some are fearing that a contested election could lead to a surge of white supremacist militia violence -- which wouldn't be all that surprising seeing as armed militias have been popping up in response to protests across the U.S. and the President recently gave a shout out to The Proud Boys during the first presidential debate. Trump has also been officially recruiting volunteer "poll watchers... potentially including far-right militias and vigilantes" for the election. Furthermore, 17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse shot and killed two people and was horrifyingly hailed as a hero by the right, and even the benefactor of a crowdfunding campaign spearheaded by Christian groups, proving that we're all living inside some kind of twisted Disney Channel reboot of Taxi Driver.

One post on Twitter makes your case, nope.

Was this what he meant when he stated "Liberate Michigan", from what.

That isn't the antifa flag, it is an anarchist symbol. It predates antifa by decades. Some of the people in this militia are anarcho-capitalists, the lunatic fringe of the libertarians. Antifa is mostly anarcho-socialist. Anarcho-socialists and anarcho-capitalists hate each other.

You've got to know your lunatic subgroups.

These guys are Trump supporters.


Pete Musico is wearing a Trump 2020 hat here. Some of his pro-Trump posts are there too.

Barry Croft supports Trump and has posted anti-liberal comments
