Laura Ingraham claims the people involved in the plot to kidnap Whitmer look like anarchists and not right-wingers

1. "It wasn't me! I didn't fart! The smell came from over there!"

[Doreen]

2. I know we joke about who they may look like but

what does an anarchist look like? What does a white supremacist look like? What does a right winger look like?

[Thekaspervote]

3. Your point? Trump is an anarchist, so is barr, all the silent gop

[Nevilledog]

5. Anarchist is a very specific term FOX uses for so-called left-wing terrorists.

Their understanding of anarchist is up there with their understanding of socialism.

[Celerity]

8. Most of them were basic MAGAt types, but one was some weird anarcho, that is the one the RW is

focusing on. Brandon Caserta, 32, of Canton Township. But he is also a Boogaloo boy, so deffo not a typical LWer at all.

That all said, the RW MAGAts on Fux Newz, Breitbart, etc etc are truly some disingenuous fuckers, because they never talk about the multiple Trump nuts and white power yobbos involved as well. Almost all the plotters were Trump fanbois.

14. If you think about it anarchists are essentially the Republican base these days as

that is really the only way someone like Trump could get into office is with the help of such people as he is unfit to serve and is causing anarchy which is what the majority of Republican voters clearly wanted and still want.

[Celerity]

15. The main problem is that there are many different types of anarchists, running the the entire

political spectrum, from ultra right to ultra left. Obviously the Rethug-gravitating types would be on the right wing, including the Rothbardian anarcho-capitalists (huge Ayn Rand fanboys/fangirls usually.)

This domestic terrorist asshole in the plot has little to do with the left-leaning anarchos (think Emma Goldman, Murray Bookchin, black boc (but black bloc is now often false flaggers) anarcho-syndicalists, etc etc etc). THAT type is what the fucking RWers in the Trumpian penumbra are now trying to paint him as, which is utter bollocks.

The American mass political zeitgeist has always struggled with nuance and grey areas, thus it is easy to gaslight millions of RW dupes by painting him (the terrorist) as an 'anarchist' (which again, in their skewed, brainwashed world ALWAYS equates with the left.

[ProfessorGAC]

17. Beat Me To It!

Ingraham, not the sharpest knife in the drawer, thinks anarchist means leftist.
They are NOT synonyms. Not sure she knows what synonyms are either.
There are right wing anarchists. There are left wing anarchists.
And, I'd be surprised if many true anarchists want to trigger a civil war. That war would result in one side winning and taking control. Authentic anarchists don't wantbanybody in control. It's the whole point.

4. Yeah, right

Morrison used his property in Munith, Michigan, for militia training, according to Townsend. Members of the militia, according to Townsend, had participated in some of the same activity alleged against the federal defendants, including plotting to bomb bridges and surveilling Whitmer’s home.

“There are multiple members of the Wolverine Watchmen,” Townsend said. “Mr. Morrison was considered the commander.”

The property in question, a blighted home in rural Michigan, flies a Confederate and “Original 13” flag. (The latter has sometimes been adopted by racists, inviting controversy about its intended use in some cases.) Junk—rusted cars, a shop vac, coolers—fill the yard.

Several neighbors of the pair wouldn’t use their names for fear of retribution from the militia. But they told The Daily Beast they’d heard some shooting coming from the property. They described those who had lived at the house as “disrespectful” and said large groups regularly gathered on weekends and “bullets would be flying off their property in all directions.”

6. What are those photos of?

No attribution, no heading, nothing???

[Celerity]

9. the RW is cherry-picking the one anarcho-type involved, and never commenting that almost all the

rest were bog standard RW MAGAt/white nationalist types


see here for the anarcho POS

13. Would you post the article link to where those photos are coming from please as it helps alot

when we are talking about something like this.

[JI7]

7. They had the typical right wing MAGASHIT look

[mr_lebowski]

10. And these are of course mutually exclusive things cause everyone knows the motto of the Right

is 'respect the government' ... no way any extreme right-winger would entertain the idea of attacking it.

That kid bombed the Fed Building in Oklahoma also couldn't have been a right-winger, for the same reason.

[Coleman]

22. The right wants a government small enough to drown in a bathtub

Which is an anarchist goal"

Regulated capitalism v. free market capitalism
Laws protecting the most vulnerable v. everybody for themselves
Tax the rich v. no taxes on the rich

[Kaleva]

11. Info on the Wolverine Watchmen group

"The affidavit says that authorities became aware in early 2020 that “groups of individuals in several states that were discussing a violent overthrow of government and law enforcement entities. These groups agreed to unite others in their cause and take violent action against government entities they believed to be violating the U.S. Constitution.”"

Anarchists don't give a rat's ass about the Constitution.

16. because only one is a so-called 'anarchist' (a RW one) see my various replies on this thread

the majority of these terrorists are bog standard Trumpian RWer types

the RW media is trying to gaslit the whole thing (as shown in my replies)

[Kaleva]

12. Freeperville is full of these so-called Super Patriots

Who talk of the need to round up liberals and hanging us or of the upcoming CWII and how they are prepared to take to the streets in case Dems steal the election.

[RockCreek]

18. There is a large intersection in the political circle

Where the extreme "left" and " right" meet, and become virtually indistinguishable.

[EarthFirst]

19. Not surprising when the can not grasp that ANFTIFA is an ideology...

...not an organized structure with a tangible network of individuals.

Whereas the Proud Boys; militias & boogaloos are easily recognized and organized in an effort to establish membership...

[smirkymonkey]

20. What a horrible woman.

She is just vile.
