Possible slogans discussed include “Charlie has awakened a generation of warriors.” There is talk of using Turning Point USA chapters as recruitment centers.

      I think naziing the armed forces is a mistake myself, not the least as they are planning on martial law declarations presided over by the military.

        they’ve had a bad white nationalist for the last 12 years at least. probably longer that’s just when i started paying attention to it.
        the people they’ll recruit are Poppin Neck’s true believers. you know, the kind of folk who worked at turning point. so a bunch of dweeby mormons and evangelicals who are so stuck in their past they keep going back to college over and over to talk at the students to feel popular?

    They can’t even get people to join ice with a $50k signing bonus. Good luck.

    Back in my day, the military considered groups like gangsters and white supremacists joining up and then taking that training back to their fellows a bad thing.

      Nowadays the military is the one hiring gangsters and extremists for leadership positions in the military.

      MAGA thinks the military is MAGA, while the military is more conservative than the general population but most are actual conservatives

        MAGA are conservatives. The distinction between a conservative and a fascist is one of degree, not kind, so the military will be radicalized and/or purged until they become MAGA if they aren’t already.

          MAGA isn’t conservatives, they’re mostly libertarians and populists. Every conservative in that camp has been pushed out of power.

        There are many aspects of reality that MAGAts refuse to admit to themselves but understand on a subconscious level. That’s why they’re now making the military MAGA via leadership purges and actions like this.

          The leadership purges are already done. They’re well into the rank-and-file purges. They’ve already done the transgendered, two days ago they started on the blacks, with a change in grooming standards designed to kick out ~60% of black personnel within a year.

          Now they’re exploring how to recruit to fill the positions they’re opening up.

    Make sure to show everyone how trump grieved kirk’s death. Starts at 2 minutes and what Kimmel was fired for. I guess he was messing with their plans.

    Starts at about 2 minutes.

      Americans told me their military would never turn on civilians all the time. Well, reddit did to be clear when I still used it.

      I guess they couldn’t imagine the good guys all getting replaced first. So naive.

        That was always contingent on the brass not being treasonous shitbags. The rank-and-file were always a lost cause, because they run shit like FOXNews 24/7 in the public areas.
