Protest Convoy Headed to Southern Border in Texas Is Calling Itself an ‘Army of God’
Experts say that the Christian nationalist rhetoric adds a dangerous dimension to the standoff between Texas and the Federal Government.
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.
There's so much fucking crazy in just the first two paragraphs of that article:
A trucker convoy of “patriots” is heading to the U.S. border with Mexico next week, as the standoff between Texas and the federal government intensifies. The organizers of the “Take Our Border Back” convoy have called themselves “God’s army” and say they’re on a mission to stand up against the “globalists” who they claim are conspiring to keep U.S. borders open and destroy the country.
“This is a biblical, monumental moment that’s been put together by God,” one convoy organizer said on a recent planning call. “We are besieged on all sides by dark forces of evil,” said another. “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the sons of God. It is time for the remnant to rise.” (The remnant, from the Book of Revelation, are the ones who remain faithful to Jesus Christ in times of crisis).
Lol buncha incels. Grown ass men who have families and shit to do, even if they share the same politics, wouldnt be caught dead doing this shit.
Same group of morons pretended to be truckers in Canada to protest vaccination mandates.
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.
Sounds an awful lot like levying war against the United States, or adhering to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort.
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.
These guys probably don't hate Illinois Nazis.
God wants brown people to drown and suffer.
THIS IS WHAT THEY LITERALLY BELIEVE
For the uninformed, Here's an illustration of how actual Armies of God handle border walls
Republicans saw the Taliban still in power after being fully occupied by the US for how long and decided "that's who we're going to model ourselves after"
A group of six patriot-world influencers, including Kim Yeater, who runs a self-empowerment self-help group and an anti-voter fraud group, started organizing the convoy around a month ago. “God’s army is rising up,” she said on the planning call. “We all have been chosen for this time.”
Religion influencing the state is anti-constitutional, blocking the freedom of others, blocking the state, and opposing equal rights, even for non-nationals, is anti-patriotism.
Feelings of patriotism are based on the positive values the country embraces—like freedom, justice, and equality. The patriot believes that both the system of government and the people of their country are inherently good and work together for a better quality of life.
In contrast, feelings of nationalism are based on a belief that one’s country is superior to all others. It also carries a connotation of distrust or disapproval of other countries, leading to the assumption that other countries are rivals. While patriots do not automatically denigrate other countries, nationalists do, sometimes to the point of calling for their country’s global dominance. Nationalism, through its protectionist beliefs, is the polar opposite of globalism.
While I don't agree that nationalism necessarily perceives a superiority, it does prioritise the nation as always being number one, even at to cost of others.
Good luck fighting drone bombers with your little pop guns, assholes.
guerrilla marketing becoming too meaningful
OMG, I remember this one, it's one of my favorite episodes evar. It's the one where Charlie gets a job in the mailroom and can't deliver mail to some dude named Pepe Silvia and he loses his mind and draws all that wacko shit on the board lol. Hahaha he so stupid
Money says they come through my town. Keeping my eye on this.
Christian Nationalists will save the day.
