They see themselves in him for more than one reason.

And if that number lies north of a few thousand nationwide, we've got problems brewing of a very serious nature.

of course they want to kill us all, whether trump wins in 2028 or not.

Active Clubs are far more disciplined then Proud Boys, and Trump has specifically been targeting them with his outreach to mixed martial arts fans. The "clubs" provide a rationale for training and radicalization networks.

A number of the groups mentioned in the Guardian article have been active in New England, and they are known to travel cross country to link up with other chapters for training and planned confrontations.

Regardless of the percentage of trumpists, those who do decide to act are more likely to be well-armed, and not simply cosplaying.

There are violent and irrational people all around, even in this relatively rural and homogeneous area.

7 million people.

I dont think its anywhere near that.

Not even .1%.

This was polled before the weird Patriot Front event today, too.

10% of 100 million is 10 million. Most of us think F47 has at least 10 million violent vigilantes around the country ready to kill on his behalf if so ordered. If that were split evenly across states, there'd be 200000 per state. How would your state handle 200000 dangerous bloodlusting rightwing fanatics?

Of course the per-state distribution would not be even -- population and ideological biases would definitely affect the balance. However, this in turn raises serious questions about what happens in a place like Texas when 500000 murderous nutjobs simultaneously take up their guns to do some human hunting.

I would guess an unpleasantly large share of these dangerous assholes are themselves working law enforcement and the "purge call" could go out while they're on patrol.

I don't know if there's any mitigation for this. F47 could easily cause a second American civil war or a third world war.

I think they are idiots who could be worked into a frenzy easily, and who knows what they might do. They don't seem to have much of an ability to think for themselves and they seem to be easily led.

That's not very surprising that they aren't very bright. But it's scary that they could be bullied into doing something violent just to look big in front of the others.

Generally the most aggressive like Patriot Front, Proud Boys etc are often non-voters. You would be surprised.

Most of them are just plain old Republicans, who have always voted GOP.

We have several annoying Trumpers in my neighborhood who still have flags up

But most wouldn't actually do anything to anyone other than milling about waiting for the few actual sociopaths to start the pile-on, take out a weapon or pull the trigger.
But then again, most MAGA do little more than bitch about how other people are the cause of their problems in life.

Army because Trump says so.

would a very low number.
