luzribeiroPlans to kidnap Whitmer, overthrow government spoiled, officials say
"The FBI thwarted what they described as a plot to violently overthrow the government and kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and federal prosecutors are expected to discuss the alleged conspiracy later Thursday. The alleged plot involved reaching out to members of a Michigan militia, according to a federal affidavit filed Thursday. "Several members talked about murdering 'tyrants' or 'taking' a sitting governor," an FBI agent wrote in the affidavit. "The group decided they needed to increase their numbers and encouraged each other to talk to their neighbors and spread their message.""
This is why it's important for Trump to forcefully condemn the far-right militia groups, white supremacist groups, and others. Instead, he does this:
‘Very good people’: Trump backs armed effort to storm Michigan capitol over coronavirus rules
At this point, I think violence by the lunatic far-right is inevitable given how Trump has framed the mail-in ballot aspect of the election. Hopefully, the violence will be constrained to a few sporadic terrorist attacks and won't result in large-scale unrest.
This is why the DHS labeled right-wing terrorists as the biggest domestic threat.
Images from a militia occupation, because these gun nuts and assorted Trump supporters are too stupid to understand science:
They sure seem like nice happy go lucky folks. Now imagine the same scene with armed black men screaming in the face of the cops.
