Summary
On the War Room podcast, right-wing hosts Natalie Winters and Steve Bannon discussed plans for MAGA supporters to act as “shock troops on the streets” to support Trump’s proposed mass deportations of undocumented immigrants.
Winters argued for a broad removal of immigrants beyond just criminals, framing it as essential to the MAGA agenda.
Bannon praised her view and suggested Trump should target the estimated 11-15 million migrants who entered during Biden’s term.
Both hosts emphasized mobilizing their audience to back this agenda both in public and within the administration.
Can we call them nazis now?
No, it might hurt their feefees while they’re dragging immigrants out to the streets and lynching them
Yes. We could call them Nazis before, but we can call them Nazis now, too.
Always could, but remember - Tuckems told us that if the qons went full fascist, it’s because the liberals made them do it.
Not the demons? Was the demon that mauled him a liberal demon?
I mean yeah obvs.
You can call them little Nazis, as a treat.
Little Nazis is a name reserved for those who turn a blind eye. “It’s ok for me… now.” “I felt safer.” “They don’t care about me or my family.” “They buy my goods.”
Nazis Piqueno
What if we need to court them next election?
Those precious, sweet baby potential democrats.
If the DNC was thinking ahead even the slightest bit, they’d be planning to do everything they can to publicize the impact Trump’s policies are having in real-time. Getting messaging out to everyone who is negatively impacted every time Trump does something, making sure they understand exactly what is happening, and why, would be a lot more effective than their usual strategy of doing nothing until a few months before an election then trying to convince people who’ve been told for years that democrats are the devil that Trump has been hurting them.
Contact these people personally. “Hi - Trump’s policies mean you will no longer be covered by the ACA; here’s some information on other, far worse and more expensive, insurance options. This is how much this is likely to cost you. Please contact your representative if you find this to be distressing.”
Time to keep our powder dry. Nixon in '72 and Reagan in '84 both won bigger victories than Trump did last week, but both were brought low within 2 years. Nixon was out of a job. So never lose hope!
I don’t think 72 and 84 are good comparisons. By 86, Reagan was well into dementia. Nixon resigned before being impeached or criminally charged.
Trump’s accelerating personality disorder will prevent him from resigning. He’ll just lash out with greater and greater misplaced vengeance.
If his lashing starts to threaten Republicans, they might consider ousting him before he can start doing things they consider to be real damage. We can hope.
And then we have Vance waiting in the wings with the rest of the heritage foundation fascists.
Needs to be a running social media account like when they live tweeted WWI and WWII.
When they go low, we so high that no one can see us 👋
Been saying for years now: If you refuse to arm and train, so be it on your head when the local Committee for Public Safety comes knocking.
Trump’s not even in office and they’re already saying it out loud. How the hell else you think they’ll get enough federal and local officers to carry out this plan?! None of this works without extralegal, and local, foot soldiers. I’ve heard these guys talk, they’re only waiting on Trump’s permission and instructions.
And forget the fat-boy memes, these guys are young, fit, trained and armed.
First it will be light brown people, and liberals will clutch their pearls and weep and cry. Then it’ll be the trans people, then the homosexuals, then the outspoken liberals, then the next “undesirable” group. They’ll be setting up camps within the year to hold the overflow of illegals, then the purpose of those camps will morph into holding all sorts of people.
And if people do shoot at Red Shirts invading their homes? Expect sweeping anti-gun legislation with permits required for the select few. So to all you assholes who laughed at the 2A protecting us from the government? Get fucking bent. Hell, do as they ask, because you won’t have a choice. It’s for your “safety”.
This is why as a minority and progressive that believe in gun control still advocate that we responsibly exercise our right to bear arms.
These assholes are asking for their members to kill minorities here, you don’t use the term “shock troops” without the expectation of violence, especially when they know full well their members are violence loving assholes who will hurt whoever they all to.
Especially Asian Americans, don’t think for a second that being a ‘model minority’ is going to save your asses from this. This going to be a Niemoller situation. They’re already a huge anti Asian sentiment within that party and the people who these guys are taking about also can’t tell the difference between a Mexican and a Asian, cripes can’t tell you how many times I’ve legitimately been and that in Missouri. And of they actual mass deport people, the economy tanks because of it, they’re going to be looking for their next scapegoat.
Protect yourselves guys because second count when the police are full of racists.
So, einsatzgruppen. Got it.
Minus the fact that most Germans did not have weapons in the Weimarer Republic
:brown shirts:
Huh, when the left is doing anything activist, the qons - and the “liberal media” - ask questions that basically boil down to: “don’t they have jobs?”
Meanwhile the qons and the “liberal media” don’t seem to ask questions about the J6 insurrectionists, and I doubt they’ll ask how qons have so much free time on their hands to be shock troops - don’t these motherfuckers WORK?
I look forward to seeing the gravy seals put their urban prowess to the test here on the streets of Baltimore.

And even if they are fat, stupid, and untrained, as long as they’re armed, they’re a real threat.
Guns are force equalizers. That goes both ways.
You’re goddamned right.
Yup. They’re still fat basturds with guns at the end of the day. And they’re Hangry ones.
To be fair there are a ton of the gravy seals, but you’re absolutely right that there is also smaller but much, much more dangerous core
We all saw them on J6.
And? There were actual operators there. And that was a grabass clusterfuck, pulled together on almost zero notice. What do you imagine they’re been doing the last 4-years?
Removed, ableist slur.
And this is why liberals so goddamned always lose.
“I’m sorry sir, you used an elementary school insult. We can’t have that sort of talk.”
If you hadn’t noticed, polite company just parted ways with our common discourse.
Oh yeah, that’s sure to help you.
Shock troops what a novel concept.
Shock troops would probably have to break lots of windows. Those shock troops may also be operating at night for the element of surprise. There should be a name for that. Night of broken glass perhaps? How about a loanword from another language to shorten that, like Kristallnacht?
They miss spelled Sturmabteilung (SA)
Spork troops
Only real question is do they go with matching, Brown, Black, or Silver shirts
Remember, scared immigrants don’t ask for more rights education and pay raise!
It’s not about you!
Your job stays overseas.
