Home grown terrorists. When will the GOP recognize that?

Embrace a violent turn? Embrace the inside of a jail cell. Plenty of social media will assist for the prosecution.

Next.

Short answer: Never. Everyone knows terrorists are “dark-complexioned”.

No need for freedom lovers to get involved.

Right wingers are doing a fine job of destroying Christian civilization all by themselves.

He has not shied away from violence in the past, however. As the SPLC has documented, the former Green Beret demolitions expert once robbed fellow army sergeants of their M-16 rifles during a training exercise while shouting “This is for the KKK” and served four years in prison for accumulating massive caches of weapons believed to be stolen from U.S. Army facilities that he intended to use to target black and Jewish-owned businesses.

Yes, one assumes that were his name Mohammed, Jeff Beauregard Sessions would be all over this.

The lot of them are nothing but hateful white trash and if their hate and nastiness lands their sorry behinds in jail, I can’t think of a better place for them. Locked in a cage like the animals they are.

Such an embrace of violent individuals and rhetoric have actually prompted a decline in the League of the South’s overall membership, according to the SPLC. The group was founded by academics who wanted to glorify the South, but has become increasingly radical over the years, adapting virulently anti-Semitic rhetoric, urging the accumulation of arms and calling for the former Confederate states to secede specifically to form a white ethnostate.

The LotS is head quartered in Alabama which makes sense since I now have “I Wish I Were In Dixie” running through my head. I wonder if anyone named Sessions, Strange, Brooks and especially Moore were founders?

The GOP just refuses to see them for what they are - literal terrorists. They’re afraid to call them that because they’re reliable ® voters, and just the more vocal and active wing of their party. For every outed neo-Nazi marching in the street calling for the death of Jews, there’s a few dozen clean cut middle-aged suburbanites nodding along silently in agreement. Currently the biggest indicator of this is watching right-wing media do just about everything they can do to shift the narrative to how awful Antifa is while only slightly acknowledging the rise of right wing extremism just for cover.

Edit: It’s that old saying “One person’s terrorist is another person’s freedom fighter”.

Where are the police in all of this? Where are the prosecutors?–These Neo-Confederates are posting on social media their intention to harm citizens–tax payers, they post pictures of their weaponry and tell us all what they are going to do with it and who they intend to harm with it. Then they go somewhere to do it all the while recording on social media. But the police are busy. Busy racial profiling African-Americans hoping they smell of marijuana so the police can seize their cash and their car to buy some new military gear for the department. The prosecutors and judges are busy locking up African-Americans in private prisons for which the judges and prosecutors receive some Christmas money. Thankfully there are people like Shaun King and other journalists who are working for justice because we know the DOJ doesn’t give even a tiny F.

Busy

and this little nugget from yesterday’s news:

“Remember, we only kill black people,” the officer said. “We only kill black people, right?”
