🧵What we’re witnessing in 🇺🇸 is not the brainchild of an ignorant demented malignant narcissist. Rather, he’s the propped-up figure head who enjoys the perks of dictatorship. It is the people actually pulling the strings who are truly dangerous. Unelectable neonazis & Christo-fascists like #MikeFlynn
What is the endgame of these utterly lawless #ICE Gestapo actions? It is to set up a culture of fear IN US CITIZENS eligible to vote. It is also the same destabilization tactics that military intelligence officials like #MikeFlynn wrote about & used in Iraq, Afghanistan & other target populations.

To all worried about J6ers or Proud Boys in ICE - no. ICE is recruitingscarier people: former prison guards, hardcore white supremacists. J6 was a mob of idiots led to violence; the Proud Boys who led them specialized in fake fistfights. Their time is over. Trump and Miller have the real thing now.
I wonder how long it will take the media to catch on to the fact that ICE’s recruiting spree has effectively deputized every white supremacist hate group out there.
