A Pro-Trump Militant Group Has Recruited Thousands of Police, Soldiers, and Veterans: An Atlantic investigation reveals who they are and what they might do on Election Day.

tewart Rhodes was living his vision of the future. On television, American cities were burning, while on the internet, rumors warned that antifa bands were coming to terrorize the suburbs. Rhodes was driving around South Texas, getting ready for them. He answered his phone. "Let's not **** around," he said. "We've descended into civil war."

It was a Friday evening in June. Rhodes, 55, is a stocky man with a gray buzz cut, a wardrobe of tactical-casual attire, and a black eye patch. With him in his pickup were a pistol and a dusty black hat with the gold logo of the Oath Keepers, a militant group that has drawn in thousands of people from the military and law-enforcement communities.

Rhodes had been talking about civil war since he founded the Oath Keepers, in 2009. But now more people were listening. And whereas Rhodes had once cast himself as a revolutionary in waiting, he now saw his role as defending the president. He had put out a call for his followers to protect the country against what he was calling an "insurrection." The unrest, he told me, was the latest attempt to undermine Donald Trump.

Just more leftist projection. The only people engaging in acts of violence are the Democrat Party's terrorist wings, BLM and antifa.
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill

What a rag. Screams about a right wing group that has recruited.......meanwhile Antifa and BLM have burned and murdered. Do these people really think we are this stupid.

The Atlantic will not fair well. Even the idiots that read it have to figure the editorial staff has become unhinged.

Which has less credibility now -them or CNN? Presumably NYT has a smidgen more than both remaining.

I still think the feds got good intel from the arrests in Kenosha and Portland on the structure and funding of Antifa. Barr may have an October surprise of his own. I certainly hope so regardless of the timing. Someone is funding and helping Antifa with logistics. Someone is planning and moving assets around the country.

I understand that video is supposed to be an intimidating show of power and potential force, but as I watched ~200 idiots walking down an open road in close formation with woods on either side, the only word that came to my mind (after I stopped laughing so hard) was "ambush."

One Marine infantry squad could easily box them in. Claymores go "BOOM." Machine gunners start spraying. Two designated snipers to take out leadership. All synchronized. Toss grenades for good measure. Pick off the survivors as they flee.

It would be over in two minutes.

These types of groups, filled with anger and arrogance, are blind to their own ignorance. They are not taken seriously - not because of their race, their message, or their cause - but because they act like hive-minded, petulant children throwing undisciplined temper tantrums.

The adults will let the children throw their tantrums up to a point, and when the tantrums cross the line the adults will step in and stop them.

When I watch a video like that, that's all I see.

This stuff. Demonizing police and veterans happened in European countries that fell to the NAZI's and then later in to Stalin.

What is one supposed to do or say when history starts repeating itself?

Atlantic fired its biggest gun first. Turned out to be a cap gun with no caps. Now they are literally throwing pebbles with the force of a kindergarten girl

The stupid question by Wallace at the debate gave them an opening for this type of "fear writing" and projection. Wallace should be ****ing ashamed for gaslighting the narrative that its white supremacists perpetrating violence.

Jeeeezus now they are after the Oath Keepers.

What is transpiring is an insurrection. That is the plain reality of it.

What the media doesn't recognize is they are making Rhodes' case for him.

Hilarious.
