Please STOP calling these organizations of angry armed ammosexual white men “militias.” They are not. They are not even remotely what constituted a “militia” when the term and the organizations were actually relevant, i.e. around the time the country was founded. If you feel the need to use the word at all, prefix is with “pseudo” or “quasi” or something equally appropriate, like “hopped up mobs of racist white nationalist gun-fetishist methbillies” or “vigilante race-war-prepper organized crime waiting to happen.”
He was shocked, shocked to discover that there were racist right wing extremists in his all-white right wing extremist “militia.”

“Methbillies” ftw.
A group of little boys with guns …
