    Most likely scenario is that they drive around in their trucks waving both flags of the US and flags of traitors to the US, block traffic, and post to Facebook.

    Worst case scenario, there is a wave a of hate crimes as these hyped up fascists try to “defend America” by picking fights with any random brown person they see.

    Best case scenario, they try messing with federal agents, get arrested, and wont be voting in November.

    This honestly feels like a Russian intelligence op. Not that these yokels are Russian spies, but that they’ve been duped by misinformation, spun up my Russian troll farms, and aimed at the southwest border.

    They are dumb enough to do the rest on their own.

      Yes, the army of God here to (checks notes) be absolutely monstrous fuckheads to their neighbors, just as Jesus teaches…

      “And the Lord said unto thee: fuck those brown skinned mofos, they don’t even pay taxes!”

        I always find it ironic when religious people try to use race as a justification for their bigotry when Jesus was clearly of middle eastern descent.

        It infuriates me beyond belief that I was one of the few individuals who actually read through the bible when I was forced to go to catholic school.

        That and the absolutely abhorrent state of humanity really designates evidence that these books of all major religions are just the words of man to trick people into believing a god.

        Malleable idiots are the easiest to control, after all. The inquisition proved this and every major violent engagement since has just been additional evidence.

    Ads for the convoy have gone up on 40 digital billboards in Florida, Texas, Louisiana, and California, courtesy of a “private donor” whose identity organizers would not disclose.

    Oh, I’m willing to bet:

    It’s six letters.

    Starts with an R

    Ends with an A

    And is currently getting absolutely decimated with mothballed weapons we last used 15 years or so ago.

      Right?

      One of the biggest changes with the advent of the Internet was that no matter what your interests, the Internet was always there with that most comforting of messages: "You are not alone.

      Now that we can see that notion taken to it’s inevitable and absurd conclusion, I think we can safely say that for lots and lots of people, it’s for the best that they’re left to believe they are, actually, alone.

      Which hopefully exposes some to reality. And wouldn’t be so bad when it doesn’t if the 3 letter gang did their fucking jobs with these domestic terrorists.

      And there are more of them than we realized back when we started creating the internet. We fucked up pretty bad.

      I sometimes miss the days when the internet was just for scholars, nerds, and geeks.

      Exactly! They know their book says “love your neighbor” and care for the widow, the orphan & the stranger, but they don’t even vaguely do anything like that.

        And our most famous monument says “give me your tired, your hungry, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free”

        But I guess that only belongs to Texans who have had that freedom their whole life and are threatened by others seeking the same thing.

            Gotta question whether even White Northern Europeans would be accepted by these people. I suspect no, not really. Such is the extent of the hateful fear mongering they subject themselves to daily.

    Sounds an awful lot like levying war against the United States, or adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort.

      You see that, these damn immigrants coming into our void and stealing our jobs! Messing it all up separating the water and the land, making light and all the creatures… they should send em back to the metadivine where they came from if they’re not going to integrate!

  • All of that military jargon, and I’ll bet the number of actual vets in that convoy is a small percentage.

    Not that there aren’t MAGA ex-military, just that they don’t as much get a kick out of cosplaying as such. If they liked it that much, they wouldn’t have ETSed. Or, dishonerable discharge; I guess there could be a few of those.

      Motor pool. Commissary. Adjutant. Fueler. Sanitation.

      Guys that “missed out” on real combat. Gotta fill that hole with manliness.
