Those fascist rednecks in the so-called State of Jefferson are as deplorable as they come. They’re essentially the Aryan Nations, One Percenters, Proud Boys and every barely humanoid rightwing group all rolled into one.

It’s pretty much a reliable trope with RWNJs these days: create an imaginary enemy and then attack real people you imagine are aligned with that imaginary enemy.
