Michigan: Anonymous flyer announcing armed protest in Lansing have MAGAts spooked.

Several groups plan to skip the armed Lansing protest planned for Sunday. Interesting. I wonder who's doing this. They all think it's a big setup.

These rugged individualists, these tough as nails back woodsmen, are running scared. They're brave as hell when there's a thousand of them, but broken down into small groups they're cowards, just like their hero, Donald Trump.

I guarantee it.

Anyone attending it will be checked afterward by them, very throughly.

If you go, you will have an FBI file if don’t already have one.

I just hope those particular MAGAts aren't prescribed any medication for their conditions too soon.

All these alt-right groups are super paranoid right now; they don't know who to trust anymore.

The Proud Boys don't trust militias, QAnon doesn't trust the the Proud Boys, nobody trusts Alex Jones and Alex Jones doesn't trust anyone. Jones thinks Trump may be a traitor or even a "deep state Chi-com". The NRA has gone belly up, and none of the gun rights groups even trust the other gun rights groups anymore.

It's delicious!

Hopefully the spell is broken.

There are a lot of FBI, ATF, etc embedded into these groups. Also many “members” are paid informants.
