Anyone else spotting how the Right is successfully setting the stage for militias and vigilantes?

[Baitball Blogger]

We have a Republican governor in Florida encouraging vehicle drivers to mow down protesters. We had Zimmerman who was allowed to be a vigilante and got away with murdering a young man, Treyvon Martin. And now Rittenhouse, who was allowed to play combat medic for a day, without any experience whatsoever, and kills 2 people. And, of course, we have the January 6th Insurrection day, which appears to be letting most of the transgressor with barely any jail time.

What could possibly go wrong?

1. Plus the $10,000 award in Texas

for citizens who turn in women for exercising freedom of choice. Not the exact same as your examples but it’s in the same ballpark.

2. If Rittenhouse and the McMichaels are acquitted

we will find ourselves in a vigilante hell of a country

4. The McMichaels are not going to be as lucky as Rittenhouse.

They’ll do hard time.

5. I sure hope you are correct

3. This is exactly what I see from the corporate coup de'ta

Drafting the fools of anarchy for their army.

Our Democracy is under attack by those carrying out the bidding for those who benefit.

Start an investigation into the funding
at the top...and charge with seditious subversion of our Democracy.

6. Tucker Carlson has actually been telling his viewers

to engage in vigilantism. He said since the country is being stolen by socialists and communists, and nobody is stopping them, the people will have to grab their guns and do it instead.

7. They've been laying the groundwork for decades.

Militias were noticed by the public during Clinton's presidency, but they didn't just magically appear. Nor did they go away during the Bush years.

Militias, teabaggers disrupting town halls, media control. . . . the plan is coming together for them.

8. Malcom Nance called this many months ago - this is paramilitary, terroristic

shit on the part of the far-right MAGAloons, and we're only going to see it increase in the future.

9. This whole thing is a psy-ops designed to change the power structure of our country.

From citizens to oligarchs.

13. Why not give him implied immunity as well?

12. At the end of the world Wookiee rips arm off works for me.

[Progressive Jones]

14. This is precisely the reason I have gone through

firearms training. I hunted as a kid, but what the right wing freaks are dreaming of isn't deer hunting.
I'm as ready as I can be.

15. They won't be happy until they have the freedom to self-patrol our streets armed with rifles.

I see it coming.
