Extremism experts sound the alarm as Trump supporters threaten civil war on TikTok

About time.

We've been warning this for years on platforms worldwide. You see hundreds a day on Truth Social, but lib-progs don't go there, so it took TikTok to finally raise your alarm, probably the reason Trump wanted to ban the Chinese platform in the first place.

Lib-progs pose as smart, yet I'm sure a large majority of ethnically acceptable lib-progs could join the MAGAsphere and fit like a cog by simply wearing the mandatory red hats and sporting FJB shirts. Meanwhile, the rest off to FEMA camps for sterilization and a lifetime of slave labor.

MAGA.

“, yet I'm sure a large majority of ethnically acceptable lib-progs could join the MAGAsphere and fit like a cog by simply wearing the mandatory red hats and sporting FJB shirts.”

Yeah, Fox and the talk radio and social media screamers have beven telling you variations of that notion for years.

And we’re all very aware that every election cycle in this century has been preceded by dark but vague threats from the far right.

We are also well aware that the idea of a new civil war is tossed around in the right trash universe, and has been for decades.

And we are aware that trump nation lived in deep devotion to a man who openly plotted to destroy democracy.

And you’re still cheering for it.

Trump nation disgraced itself and betrayed America on January 6th.

No, “ethnically acceptable (what does that mean? BTW) could join the MAGAverse.”. is a right wing fantasy.

Extremism experts sound the alarm as Trump supporters threaten civil war on TikTok

Experts say the posting of public threats creates a ‘false consensus’ that drives extremists to carry out violence, writes Richard Hall
www.independent.co.uk www.independent.co.uk



The videos share a few common themes: they are filmed by an excitable solo protagonist. That protagonist is often addressing fellow “patriots” and asking them to prepare for something very big to happen. They include some veiled or explicit threat of violence in response. And many of them are posted on TikTok, the short-form video app made popular by dancing teenagers.

In the wake of the FBI’s search of Mar-a-Lago, threats of violence against federal agents from Donald Trump’s supporters have skyrocketed, according to extremism monitors. Warnings of civil war and veiled threats of violence against politicians have also increased.


In a departure from the norm, many of those threats are being made in the open, on social media platforms like TikTok, with no attempt to hide their identity.


A collection of TikTok videos collated by one Twitter user included numerous calls for violence against the FBI and the government from Trump supporters.

“I seen what happened to Trump,” one person says in a video while a weapon and ammunition can be seen on a bed behind him. “Yea, it’s go time. Everyone knows exactly what I’m talking about,” he adds.

Other videos include conspiracy theories about IRS agents coming to take their weapons.


In the days after the Mar-a-Lago search, the FBI and Department of Homeland Security issued a joint internal bulletin warning of “an increase in threats and acts of violence” towards federal officials, according to CBS. The bulletin also noted that the names and home address of FBI agents have been posted online, the Associated Press reported.


The bulletin referenced one case in which online threats had resulted in real world violence — the attack on the FBI’s Cincinnati field office in Ohio by a man armed with an AR-15 style rifle and a nail gun. Ricky Shiffer, 42, had posted on Mr Trump’s Truth Social after the search on Mar-a-Lago for supporters to “get whatever you need to be ready for combat” before carrying out the attack. He was shot and killed in a standoff after fleeing the scene.

In another case, the FBI arrested a Pennsylvania man on Monday for making threats of violence against FBI personnel. Adam Bies, 46, posted violent threats towards the FBI and law enforcement on the Gab, a social media site popular with white supremacists.

They should be arrested.

PS. A guy from the UK? I'm sure he's quite the expert on America.

I'm more worried about the dozens of mass shootings and pipe bombings from clowns who think they're having a civil war. The disaffected won't have a movement to fall back on so they'll lash out in the usual ways: a handful of militiamen kidnapping a politician; incels shooting up schools and yoga studios, white supremacists pipe-bombing synagogues and Sikh temples. The usual suspects doing the usual shit, only more of it, and ostensibly in the name of Twump...

The Timothy McVeigh types are definitely scarier but fortunately also not very organized. A well-trained and motivated, domestic terrorist or cell could cause a lot more damage than sign-wielding buffoons.

If they're banning The Diary of Anne Frank in schools then they have pretty much told us what their future plans are for this country.
And invoking Godwin's Law no longer has any meaning, by the way. They invoked themselves out in the open.

Trump already godwinned himself when he asked why his generals couldn't just be loyal, "like the German generals".
 
The left have no room to complain about violence after supporting the blm/antifa riots over the last several years.

As long as the left can claim "systemic racism" then anything a crowd does after a white person or especially a cop does to a black person justifies what they do cause: racism. White liberal elitists then pile on and say the demonstrations are mainly peaceful while buildings and cop cars burn in the background and Antifa and BLM take over Seattle downtown for a "summer of love" and you hear chirps from the DNC.

Those idiots couldn't pour piss out of a boot, much less start a civil war. What they forget is that America doesn't run on passion, it runs on money. At the end of the day, the business people don't want civil unrest, it cuts in to profits, which IS the most important thing.

There's not going to be a civil war. The republicans may become much more active domestic terrorists or convert us to a fascist state , but it won't be civil war. It will be quiet strangulation. Now, that's not to say the fascists haven't already won, by refusing to participate in democracy. Democracy, after all, is so easily polluted by even small amounts of doubt, and the fascists have been pumping large amounts of fake doubt in to the national sense of electoral validity.

Sure, they're reckless and blind to call it a hoax when a blob of criminal mucus like Trump loses an election. How is that so hard to believe? Surely, they would rather divide this nation rather than have white, christian supremacy diluted in cultural diversity, and a vote that is now being used to elect non-white, non-Christian people. That, sadly, is where we are.

Any "Civil War" will be more akin to the "troubles" in Northern Ireland. Bombings, kidnapping & ambushes.
 
The thing that is so scary is that these people truly believe they have some sort of righteous mission. What it is, exactly, is mystifying. Just pent up hatred and frustration at their impotence, is my guess. Metaphoric incels in every aspect of their lives.

Few things are funnier than Trump's idiot acolytes thinking an attack on the nation's Capitol is somehow "patriotic". It's a delusion born from gorging themselves too often, and too long, on a steady diet of RW bullshit.

The best we can hope for is that so much toxic gas is built up in their systems, it finally blows their heads out of their own asses, and they start breathing Oxygen again.

If they're all as dumb as 'Ricky Shiffer' they deserve everything they get, just as he did.

So, if the left tries to overthrow the government and murder the republican representatives, the right will have no room to complain? Got it.

You know, I remember when wrong was wrong no matter who did it. I guess Trump changed all of that.

Trump nation keeps ranting about riots over the last several years.

But there are no riots.

The last significant public riot was the one taht occurred right after trump ordered the National Guard to attack a permitted, peacefully assembled protest at Lafayette Park on June 1 2020.

That was over two years ago.

And, of course, none of them involved storming the Capitol, attacking a sitting Congress in session, or overthrowing the US government and replacing it with a baron to rule by decree.

And yet every trump dead ender here rants about imaginary riots going on.

I didn't know there was a time stamp on when riots are no longer valid. Using that logic, Jan 6th was over 1.5 years go. The democrat/media supported blm and antifa riots happened. Nothing you can say/do will change that.

Elected officials/pundits like Hawley, Cruz, MTG, Tucker and Trump himself are no better - all about inciting the mob, denying/running when violence happens.

When there are no riots,there’s no reason to keep feeding white victimhood Americans with a constant b-roll of events that happened over two years ago.

Except to validate the irrational fears of the target audience for entertainment purposes.

Scaring white people about events that might occurr, are not occuring, and often, are very unlikely to occurr are stock in trade for the sort of media that trump nation clings to.

So why do leftists keep bringing up Jan 6th since it was a one and done thing ?
The hypocrisy is sad and staggering.

Lol, "one and done thing"?

Yeah, let's just gloss over a literal attempted insurrection, because Trump supporters are such whiny babies that they can't accept (to this day), that Donald lost to Dark Brandon.
