There was an exchange in Tuesday night’s debate that doesn’t portend well for whatever street battles seem destined to ensue over the election. Chris Wallace (Wallik) pressed Trump to condemn “white supremacists and militia groups,” which he did not. Just ask ADL President Jonathan Greenblatt:
The implication Wallace was trying to make is that these groups are responsible for the mayhem that’s transpired across the country. It’s an absurd connection they’re desperate to establish no matter how much it exasperates a Trump voter who can plainly observe the violence committed by Antifa and BLM.
“White Supremacists” are as real as “mostly peaceful protests” in a literal sense. This label encompasses anyone who believes that there isn’t something inherently wrong about white people, and that they’ve got a collective set of interests just like any other demographic.
The objective of the label is to establish a false equivalence between white people who have ideas that are reasonable for anybody else, and enthusiasm for slavery or genocidal mania. The Proud Boys vehemently condemn whatever they believe white supremacy to be in favor of a non-racial concept of Western Civilization.
Trump telling them to “stand by” induced a collective aneurysm in the MSM and political establishment. That’s truly entertaining. Here’s the problem: Because white supremacists don’t exist, any group of mostly white people can serve as supremacists.
So, now the Proud Boys have become a premier domestic terror threat. Trump’s tacit endorsement makes it imperative for law enforcement to hold press conferences about how they’ve rounded up this menace. Proud Boy convictions would look great on the stats.
When will the hammer fall? Probably in street confrontations with Antifa. The FBI can only entrap retarded or disturbed people in terror plots it cuts out of whole cloth. The Proud Boys seem credulous and naïve. They’re not bad guys but getting clued into reality clearly isn’t something they do quick.
Charlottesville was the precedent for what we’re witnessing today. The Proud Boys already experienced this same treatment back in 2018. They were ambushed by Antifa outside a meeting hall in NYC and then prosecuted to the maximum extent of the law under the direction of Governor Cuomo.
The fact that after that incident, they went out for the latest installment of leftist mayhem demonstrates that they don’t seem to have learned much from getting screwed over. Trump’s cynical rhetoric will most likely embolden them into more detrimental ambushes.
If you’re a young guy and upset about what’s being done to this country, you’ll accomplish nothing by going out in public with them. Even if you don’t plan on a violent clash happening, Antifa and BLM will be pressing for it. Judging from online reactions, Trump’s cynical rhetoric has worked them into a frenzy.
Your rights in this country are politically determined. That means you have none. Please stay home because the only thing you’re good for in prison is an ADL statistic. Let the leftists continue to demonstrate who they are to everyone else and leave the authorities to cope with the chaos they’ve facilitated.
Build, don’t brawl.
I’m proud to officially announce my candidacy for the office of Dogcatcher.
Good advice to stay home and build something–hopefully this is in a remote back woods area with water and fertile land. If it involves a club or tribe of like minded guys, watch out. In my opinion, white guys became the main focus for a domestic terror threat some time back. Trump just confirmed the obvious in a highly public debate. Gentlemen, we’re prey.
Agreed. Form bonds with close family and maybe people from church. Never get involved with these assanine generic white supremacist parties and groups that put everything in brackets. Not only are these kinds of people a bit dull, but they’ll be first to go when the anti racism laws pass for purposefully fedposting, and their friends and family will get hit too.
Good article! My dad works for Uncle Sam, and they turned a guy away from the job because of his Proud Boy membership. Not that they’re missing out on much, but I can’t see denying someone a job over politics as good. If he weren’t conservative labor unions would be suing for millions. Proud Boys seem like the kind to be led instead of leading.
