  For every one of those guys there are hundreds LARPing and servicing each other next to their ARs. 
  DHS will do the best they can and hopefully start laying some frightening punishments on them.
context: “…luring migrants into trailers to poison them with gas."
  So they’re just going full on Nazi at this point. >
  
  I'm not sure the future tense is proper there. >
  
  Which of those involved the future tense? >
  
  “Going” full Nazi. They’ve been there for a while. I would argue since the caravan nonsense about how they’re bringing disease, the kids in cages, and the forced hysterectomies of migrant women. >
  
  That's present progressive, not future. >
  
  Oh so we're going to be going grammar nazi now are we? >
  
  Actually, I think we're already there. >
  
  But when will then be now? >
  
  It's is now now.

  TL;DR: Domestic terrorists talking to each other online about carrying out domestic terror attacks aimed at immigrants and infrastructure because, checks notes "immigrants bad". >
  
  I’m not sure why we leave out the “religious” part of these descriptions of domestic terrorists, or insurgents, we sure don’t when they’re Muslim. Exactly zero of these terrorists at home are atheists or agnostic, they’re all Christian extremists who use their “faith” as an excuse for their actions. >
  
  We leave it out bc that leads to uncomfortable truths about Manifest Destiny, and how religious zealotry has always played a large role in American imperialism in the Americas and the Pacific.
  Harsh truth is these domestic terrorists would have a lot in common with the frontiersmen that carried out the ethnic cleansing of the West, resettled the former Mexican states, and generally pressed our claims to the North American interior. >
  
  Literally the same wealthy land-owning families. American Oligarchy is alive and well. Only the poor families sold all the farms to Tyson. So now they have nothing and are mad they have nothing. >
  
  Richard Spencer, the suit-and-tie Nazi who got big in 2016, is the heir to Louisiana cotton farms that have been in his mother’s family for generations.
  People like him understand the bloody details of how American wealth was tortured out of the bodies of poor laborers. When he rants about “octaroons”, he is tapping into a recent history of justifying racial hierarchies in the same breath as preserving Christianity in America. >
  
  Professor Eddie that you? >
  
  I’m guessing you’re comparing me to Eddie Glaude? 
  If so, I’ll take the compliment. Big fan of Cornell West, James Baldwin, and other civil rights leaders that call out American fascism >
  
  Yup! Your comments are well written and cogent. Rare around here. >
  
  Welcome to reality Homeland Security, I guess. Little late, wonder if they're actually going to do anything about it. >
  
  A lot of the guys who join CBP or ICE or what have you will be happy to turn a blind eye to “volunteers” who’ll do horrible things to undocumented people in a city or refugees out in the desert. They might even give those “volunteers” a helping hand sometimes. They get into the job for that. >
  
  Look, I have no problem with them being here, I just want them to do it proper way, the legal way. If they have nothing to hide, why would they do this on their own, and endanger themselves and others? Like is it so hard to just go through the correct channels and fill out the paperwork and get trained and certified so you can murder migrants officially as a cop? >
  
  These are the people who were turned away from the military and couldn't pass a physical to become a real cop.  The border is now where they can play out their special ops fantasies in the real world. >
  
  That's a mighty fine podcast. >
  
  I got into it a couple of years ago thanks to a friend that works in criminal justice of all things!
  Missed all the Reddit drama about their sub being banned, but they seem to be pretty normal “dirtbag Left” with a funny critique of American capitalism. >
  
  Correction; the head of DHS is warning us of this. I’m sure plenty of rank-and-file members are on the phone with their Gravy Seal militias passing them classified info as we speak. Make no mistake about it, the feds are filled to the gills with the same extremists they claim to be fighting. >
  
  That's a BINGO! >
  
  You just say “bingo” >
  
  Remember, these acts are committed by conservative christians, who believe they are acting in the "name of god" or some woowoo shit. >
  
  Is this the first time in a long while they've actually called these nut jobs what they actually are? Terrorists.
  It seems before they've been skating around the word. >
  
  Radical Christian Terrorists >
  
  So wait. They’re pissed off about people coming into the country possibly being infected with a disease they believe to be a hoax? Okay man make up your mind, you can’t have it both ways. >
  
  It amazes me how anti-immigration all these non-native americans are. >
  
  The time to close every door and pull up every ladder is apparently always "right after I'm done using it." >
  
  "the memo notes that planning by domestic violent extremists is often shielded by online security measures, limiting exposure by law enforcement"
  ​
  cough, cough, twitter. >
  
  Extremist fueled violence…uhh that sounds like terrorist activity. >
  
  So the ''covid isn't real'' crowd is using ''covid isn't over'' to inflict hardship on other people.
  They really do have their brand dialed in at this point. >
  
  They aren't arguing in good faith and they never have been. They'll say whatever is convenient to push their agenda at the time, and they don't care if they know it's incorrect or if they directly contradict themselves with the next issue that comes up. The card says moops. >
  
  Upvoted for the reference to “alt right playbook” >
  
  Perhaps if we started jailing terrorists in America, we could put an end to this headline popping up every week or so.
  Or at least slow it down. >
  
  Wow, how shocking… Conservative Americans don’t get their way so they react with violent threats and sometimes actions.
  It would be great if the mushy middle part of America that doesn’t like to pick sides would understand that a third of this country is willing to pull on embraced violence and fascism against fellow Americans so they can get their desires met.
  Really people at this point if you get any family members that vote Republican you need to give them an ultimatum you’re either with us (America) or you’re against us. There is no two ways about it. You can’t attack democracy and freedom with violence and threats of violence and claim to love this country. It just doesn’t fucking work that way. >
  
  Everything’s not so black and white ya fuckin dork >
  
  Yes and no. I respect Americans who believe in the basic republican principal of social or economic conservatism, even if I don't agree with them (note: I will point out that principal does not inherently mean supporting hate, or religious intolerance, or any of that). I think there's room for that. I think there's room for people that don't agree with Democrats and want an alternative. As there should be. A democracy, or even a republic, thrives when multiple points of view are available.
  However, the GOP in its current state is a machine built to cause harm and radicalize constituents to get its way and obtain power. I think the people that don't want to vote Dem, who want something more conservative but not nazi theocracy, should stop voting republican and get their own damn party going that respects their values rather than using them to push worse ones.
  And yes, I could say the same about Dems too. >
  
  BoTh ParTiEs ArE tHe SaMe >
  
  Not at all. But, I do think there should be more than 2 parties. Not every liberal agrees 100% with everything their party does any more than any conservative does. We should have more choices. so that whomever wins the vote is the person that pest represents the ideals of the most people. Ya know, like how it's supposed to work. >
  
  
  With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,
  Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
  The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
  Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
  I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

  Waylon: "Hey, Cletus, let's go put land mines in the dessert and blow up sum uh dem MexiCans tryin' ta come steal our jerbs!" 
  Celtus: "I got a better idear, Waylon, let's go get us some Zyklon B, I herd Clyde dun got sum. And we put sum welfare checks in a trailer to trap dem dirty beaners, and BAM! Gas, em."
  God Bless America... God Bless it right down the toilet. >
  
  ah homeland security.... years late to the party >
  
  Mealteam 6 and Gravy Seals are on the warpath. >
  
  Hey remember that guy who shot up the Walmart in El Paso? He was the kind of thing DHS is talking about.
