Sounds a lot like the SS
The SS was composed of a bunch of junior officers and German police already deeply embedded in the Hindenburg government.
This headline makes it sound like Trump is going to deputize a bunch of terminally online cranks, which sounds like more of a SovCit tier grift than a serious policy. Far more disturbing would be Trump doing what we’ve already seen other state and municipal leaders allow during the BLM marches and the pro-Palestine college protests. Telling the cops, the state troopers, and the national guard to go wild, then blaming the civilians for all the damage that follows.
I could very easily see Trump signing off on an EO that says you can’t prosecute the police for… anything, really. Then Red-State Republicans goading their officers to go ham on the blue cities, while the national press treats the general police brutality as some kind of War on Crime. Courts squelch any kind of civil liabilities for the police. Liberals get clubbed into submission. Centrists denounce “both sides” (but so as not to offend conservatives in any way). Conservatives go full sicko-mode because they can.
Its less like The SS and more like Israeli Settler Movement. Some AM Talk Radio guy saying we need to “Squash the Bugs” and you end up with shit like what’s happening in The West Bank, as settlers club Palestinian locals in the street and the Israeli police fire on any Palestinian that resists.
I don’t have links handy right now, but take a look at DeSantis’ Florida State Guard.
- Unlike the National Guard it only answers directly to the Governor of Florida and there is no precedent for the federal government to take command of it.
- It was publicly billed as a sort of disaster relief agency, but volunteers reported that significant amounts of training time was being dedicated to paramilitary topics like riflery and small unit tactics.
- There is also a small (30-50 people) QRF, SWAT-like element to this organization, and it got out that they were receiving paramilitary training from a private organization that currently employs convicted war criminal Eddie Gallagher, if you remember that fucker.
Gallagher was that SEAL that Trump pardoned from war crimes, right?
Specifically he murdered POWs, once with a knife, and then threatened to kill any of his team that ratted on him.
He is kind of the poster child of the disdain conservatives have for modern rules of engagement. They still think he was falsely maligned and that he only “did what he had to do.” Of course, that’s why he was pardoned. They need people like him going forward.
His fellow snipers and the rest of his squad admitted that he also shot randomly at civilians, to the point that his squad ACTIVELY FUCKED WITH HIS RIFLE SCOPE to make sure he’d miss the first shot and give civilians some time to get to cover as he cycled his rifle.
The dude was enough of a psychopath that they screwed the dude WHO WAS SUPPOSED TO KEEP THEM SAFE so he wouldn’t randomly murder civilians.
You also forgot the part that he stabbed a POW to death, took pictures with the corpse, and sent them to his buddies stateside.
COOL STUFF. AWESOME.
MAGA Force … national guard (under a central leader) … partol groups … whatever you want to call them
There is a precedent for all this
“Sturmabteilung”
The Red Shirts are coming. GOP you are really making a wonderful future for us.
Red Hats, you mean. They’ve had the uniform for years already.
Every fascist movement requires paramilitary thugs; Trump’s is no different.
Not really a fair comparison since the average MAGA militiaman is larger than the U.S. Army.
💥GOT’EM
Queue the violence in three… two…
I plan to be as offline as possible from the election until we have a sworn president. And flee the country if the wrong one is sworn.
Better get in line now
The ones who keep passing out at his own rallies? Pfft, come at me
