Last night during the Presidential "debate" Donald Trump called on the Proud Boys to "stand by," asked supporters to watch the polls, and again questioned the legitimacy of any election he loses, and blamed the violence on the "left wing." Trump has now called out his modern-day Nazi Brown Shirts to "stand by" to riot through the streets, attack voters, intimidate election workers, maybe take over a local TV station, and do whatever is necessary and he asks for when he loses the election in order to keep him in power.
As a reminder, the Proud Boys are a men-only racist far right neo-Nazi white supremacist hate group who are looking forward to the second civil war slash race war. These are the racist morons who walk around with army fatigues (even though few of them ever served of course), AR-15s, bullet-proof vests, and attack BLM or other peaceful protestors in Portland and other areas around the country. Their modus operandi is to show up to peaceful protests armed to the teeth, pick out some unwitting victims, beat the crap out of them (or worse) and then cry "self defense" or invoke stand-your-ground laws. They also wear shirts that say "Free Kyle" in celebration of Kyle Rittenhouse, the 17 year-old Illinois kid who drove to Kenosha Wisconsin with his machine gun to kill two people peacefully protesting police violence. Essentially they're a bunch of cowardly white trash losers who can't function in the modern world, blame minorities and liberals for it, and hide behind their guns and hatred as a crutch and solution.
Unfortunately, their cowardice, stupidity, and racism doesn't make them any less violent or dangerous. According to FBI Director Christopher Wray, they, and other white supremacist groups like them, are the biggest domestic terror threat to the United States. And they are now also clearly the biggest threat to safe and peaceful elections and the transfer of power in this country. Last night when Chris Wallace asked Trump if he would ask his supporters to be peaceful, stand down, and respect the results of the election (and not declare victory until it is announced) he instead called on his henchmen to go into the polls, "watch the polls," and obviously intimidate minorities and others who might vote against him. Within hours the Proud Boys had actually turned Trump's words into a new logo and meme to help them market themselves, recruit, and raise money. And this will only get worse over the next four weeks.
These are Trump's Brown Shirts. They serve the exact same purpose as the Brown Shirts did to Hitler and the Nazi party in the 1920s and 1930s: intimidate and brutalize the opposition, terrorize opponents, stifle the free press, and ultimately destroy democracy by brute force in the streets for your Nazi fascist dictator. These Proud Boys don't respect the Constitution of the United States, couldn't care less about democracy, and will violently support the Orange Fuhrer when called upon. And let there be no doubt, in the coming weeks Trump will become more and more desperate, encourage more and more violence, and put more and more barriers in front of voters. Come November 3rd he will definitely claim that a coup is being perpetuated when he loses the election or claim "victory" by 2pm in the afternoon and try to get his racist dogs to go out in the streets to support him in order try to impose martial law or some other mechanism to try to stay in power. It's a given.
Our only answer is to brave the Brown Shirts, stand up to the racist bullies and vote no matter what. Imagine if, knowing what you know now, you were magically back in 1929/1930s Germany and could help Jews and others rational peaceful Germans stand up to the Brown Shirts, Nazis, and prevent Hitler from gaining power, would you have done it? I certainly would. . . Well now is our time to do just that. We need to stand up and have a wave of anti-Nazi enthusiasm to wash over this country and cleanse us from all these pieces of trash by winning the election and saving American democracy. And, once in office, we need to make sure President Biden fixes the DOJ and redoubles efforts to prosecute and stop violent white supremacist militia groups once and for all.
Vote November 3rd!
