16 days ago, followers of a radical domestic terrorism cult stormed the Capitol of the country, killing a police officer and injuring countless others.

The official account of a political party in the 2nd most populous state just tweeted the slogan of the cult.

1. GOP: the Party of Terrorists, Insurrectionists, Treasonists, Conspiracy Nuts, Flat Earthers, Liars,

White Supremacists, Bible Thumpers, Bad People.

[Permanut]

6. Sociopaths, sadists,..

narcissists, gun huggers, cult fodder, billionaires, racists, nazis and bullies.

[Volaris]

26. So it always been (I think)...

Been thinking about this today. The brain worms are the same. The CSs they create as they feed just evolve.

15 years ago, it was aliens are abducting us.
Minus 15 years, it was CIA killed Kennedy
Minus 15 years, it was CIA psychics and Area 51
Minus 15 years, it was Communists at State Department

It's the same freakin Brain Worm. Its eating the same reason-deficient brains.

2. Texas GOP- you Are the Fucking Fascists.

[Bongo Prophet]

Sithlord wannabees, with ranch-style dressing.
We are rising up in ever-increasing numbers here to take them down as soon as we can.

I'm nervous just driving through it with Illinois plates, and I'm a nobody.

33. No, that's too romantic - think Nazi stormtroopers - the SA

The Sturmabteilung (SA), literally "Storm Detachment", was the Nazi Party's original paramilitary wing. It played a significant role in Adolf Hitler's rise to power in the 1920s and 1930s. Its primary purposes were providing protection for Nazi rallies and assemblies; disrupting the meetings of opposing parties; fighting against the paramilitary units of the opposing parties, especially the Roter Frontkämpferbund of the Communist Party of Germany (KPD) and the Reichsbanner Schwarz-Rot-Gold of the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD); and intimidating Romani, trade unionists, and especially Jews.
...
The term Sturmabteilung predates the founding of the Nazi Party in 1919. Originally it was applied to the specialized assault troops of Imperial Germany in World War I who used infiltration tactics based on being organized into small squads of a few soldiers each. The first official German stormtrooper unit was authorized on March 2, 1915 on the Western Front. The German high command ordered the VIII Corps to form a detachment to test experimental weapons and develop tactics that could break the deadlock on the Western Front. On October 2, 1916, Generalquartiermeister Erich Ludendorff ordered all German armies in the west to form a battalion of stormtroopers. They were first used during the 8th Army's siege of Riga, and again at the Battle of Caporetto. Wider use followed on the Western Front in the Spring Offensive in March 1918, when Allied lines were successfully pushed back tens of kilometers.
...
A permanent group of party members, who would serve as the Saalschutzabteilung (meeting hall protection detachment) for the DAP, gathered around Emil Maurice after the February 1920 incident at the Hofbräuhaus. There was little organization or structure to this group. The group was also called the "Stewards Troop" (Ordnertruppen) around this time. More than a year later, on August 3, 1921, Hitler redefined the group as the "Gymnastic and Sports Division" of the party (Turn- und Sportabteilung), perhaps to avoid trouble with the government. It was by now well recognized as an appropriate, even necessary, function or organ of the party. The future SA developed by organizing and formalizing the groups of ex-soldiers and beer-hall brawlers who were to protect gatherings of the Nazi Party from disruptions from Social Democrats (SPD) and Communists (KPD), and to disrupt meetings of the other political parties. By September 1921 the name Sturmabteilung (SA) was being used informally for the group. Hitler was the official head of the Nazi Party by this time.

The Nazi Party held a large public meeting in the Munich Hofbräuhaus on November 4, 1921, which attracted many Communists and other enemies of the Nazis. After Hitler had spoken for some time, the meeting erupted into a mêlée in which a small company of SA thrashed the opposition. The Nazis called this event the Saalschlacht (transl. Meeting hall battle), and it assumed legendary proportions in SA lore with the passage of time. Thereafter, the group was officially known as the Sturmabteilung.

36. And the Arizona GOP seems right down there with them... nt

[Cha]

38. Oh yeah, digging their own political

graves.

[LeftInTX]

3. They started using it last summer

[dchill]

4. This won't end well.

They'll make sure of that.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

8. I had no idea that was their slogan when...

... I first saw this "Trumpy Bear" commercial. It already seemed like a commercial from some nightmarish alternate universe, but now it's even worse!

[MustLoveBeagles]

15. They ruined a perfectly good teddy bear

[TheBlackAdder]

30. That still shot almost looks like a girl teddy with a collar, tie, cuffs and gold hair.

[gratuitous]

9. This would appear to be a teeny, tiny pinprick of a hole in the Republican Party of Texas

With just enough room to drive a truck, a freight train, and a dirigible through. Come on, Texas Democrats! If you can't exploit this, you're really fucking lame.

[dhill926]

10. they are soon to be the minority...

so fuck 'em...

[appalachiablue]

12. Der Sturmer, 'attackers.' hmm, where have we heard this before

[bluecollar2]

14. No surprises here....

16. Thanks for showing your asses Texas GOP

[LeftInTX]

35. Allen West - Florida Man in Texas!

[MustLoveBeagles]

42. So that's where the war criminal wound up

You have my sympathies.

[Celerity]

17. Gab is loaded with hard-core neo-Nazis, far beyond Parler Q-MAGAt level, so the Q-MAG's will become

even more radicalised.

[RainCaster]

19. How many of these clowns need a security clearance?

Do any of these conspiracy clowns want federal jobs as Senators or congress-critters? What happens if they are too compromised to get a clearance? This is something we need to work on in our laws as they relate to elections. Let's not have any more heavily compromised politicians in DC.

Trivia for you-when I was much younger and getting my first clearance, it was just your basic "secret" clearance. Same thing that everyone got when working at Hanford. It was called a "Q Clearance".

[dalton99a]

20. The chairman of the Texas GOP is this vile miscreant:

[Stallion]

31. Surprised it Took This Long in this Thread to Point this Out

Allen West

[BigmanPigman]

21. The integration of Qanon and the GOP AND FAKEBOOK

is a national security nightmare. We must include the greedy, hypocritical traitor Fuckerberg's name to all rest of the criminals and conspirators. Without Fuckerberg none of this would have been as successful and he knows it. Destroy him and his monopoly.

[ancianita]

22. WTF is up with Twitter.They KNOW 'The Storm'&'Stop the Steal' networks, and drop these accounts

like they did with Q networks.

[Buns_of_Fire]

32. They've even swapped out their MAGA hats for something more fashionable...

[vercetti2021]

34. Everyday I'm embarrassed to be fucking from the state

Between Ted Cruz and John Cornyn being a bunch of fucking idiots and now this crap? Somebody want to buy me a fucking plane ticket out of this shit hole?

[Buns_of_Fire]

39. We all have our crosses to bear. For example, my state (Georgia) just

elected Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock.

On the other hand, my district also just gave the world Margie the Kook. Even if COVID didn't exist, I'd still wear a mask these days when I leave the area. When anyone asks where I'm from, I just say "France" (it seemed to work for the Coneheads).

[KatyMan]

44. To where? Michigan? Ohio? Pennsylvania?

They're everywhere.

[durablend]

37. Biden needs to re-start the wall

But move it north

[Roisin Ni Fiachra]

40. They are Qpublicans. Nuttier than Aunt Penelope's Christmas fruitcake. nt

[Generic Brad]

41. What is the significance of being "The Storm"?

Does that mean they will cause random, meaningless destruction and then eventually dissipate?

[BrightKnight]

43. Sturmabteilung, SA, Brownshirts - The GOP is not even subtle about it anymore.

"Storm Detachment", was the Nazi Party's original paramilitary wing. It played a significant role in Adolf Hitler's rise to power.

I fear that the "storm" is the overthrow of democratic government and installation of a one party fascist state.


Please tell me that This is just wing nut hyperbole.
