White Supremacists Gearing Up For A Race War

White militias in North Texas and all over America are gearing up for a race war. They have even set a date and are making plans on how they will participate.

(Normally, I would just post in the Texas group, but the issue is too important not to be seen by all. Some of my friends have been at these protests that were met with armed militias.)

quite good that we may not know the winner of the POTUS (and who controls the Senate and the House) by November 4th. If Rethug voters turn out in vastly higher same day levels than Democratic voters, the map will be artificially far more Red than it will be when the tens of millions of mail in ballots are counted.

I suppose they could be banking on that shitstorm to cause a 'fog of war' window of opportunity.

I guess we had better be prepared for that. I hope the governors will be ready with NG to protect us.

Aren't they made up of state citizens? They could change the dynamic quite a bit. They are our neighbors, they object to be used against the public.

If Biden does not concede or Trump loses, they will hit the streets.

I believe them, especially, here in Texas.

I work with these guys and most of the ones I talk to are not keyboard warriors. My neighbors drive around the neighborhood with gun racks on their golf carts...lol. Almost all of them are hunters. Your situation might be different, but don't call bullshit so easily on my situation as you have no clue the kind of rednecks I live with.

Ever had someone attempt to knock your door down? I have, so I'll just keep my eyes open.

I'll keep myself on alert anyways...just in case.

I DO know what kind of rednecks you live with. They may have a different dialect, but they are just as ignorant and self absorbed.

unfortunately, that remaining 0.01% can do a lot of damage with the help of complicit police

1 in 10000 is much too much when there are millions involved, this is a dangerous ideology and it needs to be extinguished from our society somehow

Just in case anyone's wondering, there's more on the About Us page about how the site got started, but here's the gist:

Living Blue in Texas was started for the sole purpose of helping to keep voters informed and up-to-date on the latest in Texas news and politics.

The goal is simple, to help keep Texas democrats motivated to get out and vote.

We want to see an end of the extreme Gerrymandering which has taken place in Texas and voter suppression. Once and for all, we want to turn Texas blue.


There are links within the article that I chose not to follow, so I understand the 'I don't want to go there' sentiment.

It's not clear whether the author isn't just amplifying tough talk seen online. On the other hand, I agree with Shell_Seas that given what happened in Kenosha, it's unwise to ignore the signs completely. Also, given what happened in Kenosha and has been happening with agent provocateur mayhem since the BLM protests blew up, I personally think the war is has been simmering along for some time now, in some instances with tacit police coordination and approval.

While we own and shut the fuck up about it, they are vocal and proudly display which homes are a threat!

The event was promoted on Facebook by the Kenosha Guard and used memes which promoted and encouraged violence against “BLM” and “Antifa.”


I hope this is an exaggeration:

It isn’t just this group, either. If you do a quick search on Twitter, Facebook, and even Google you can find dozens of right-wing extremists promising a civil war or a race war on 11/4, no matter who wins on 11/3.

They like their trucks and cars. They like Friday night dinner out with friends. They like tv. They like their kids and grandkids. They may fuss online and cry and maybe threaten. But they don't want to risk losing their freedom.

Oh, there will be a few crazies. But they are going to be stupid no matter what.
