      It’s because they bought it all themselves from different companies because none of this was thought out or planned in any way.

      Thought a similar thing when that video of the guy in Minneapolis bringing out the big machine gun came out the other day. They look like a multiplayer lobby in some fps game who all have different cosmetics on, just beyond dumb. And then you get Bovino walking around in that dumbass duster and it really shows how much these guys are going for that tacticool look.

      It is sort of funny, part of the reason Nazi ideology has the lasting power it does is probably because of their aesthetics and intimidating/‘strong’ fascist image, but when people look at ICE and MAGA in the future (and today) they’ll be like “wow look at these losers.”

      So they look like a criminal gang instead of an official government agency. Makes them easier to confuse with home invaders that can be shot.
