No, of course not. A right-winger might say he is not your friend. But no one on the right thinks he's a tyrant.

There are no white supremacist groups, and it is impossible to "have ties to" Qanon. Qanon is a fictional character who, being fictional, DOES NOT EXIST.

While some of those guys at the capitol were probably militia members - that wasn't necessarily a "militia" protest, much more just your run of the mill MI rednecks.

Fits perfectly with the far-right anarchist leanings of many, MANY militias. We see a lot of Antifa types putting "don't tread on me" collars on their pets like Fox?

Anarchist is a right wing trump supporters? That is new to me.

Aren't these the same idiots trying to establish their fail CHOP/CHAZ zone in Seattle a few months ago?

Anarchy isn't necessarily right/left. I never said "Trump supporter", did I?

The Michigan militia groups are not left-wing, period. They are certainly not, as a group, fans of the CHOP/CHAZ wingnuts, either. There are certainly Venn diagram overlaps where anarchy or anti-government but that doesn't automatically extend to left/right agreement or similarity.

Also anti-government obviously translates to being anti-Trump since he's the chief executive, that anti-Trump sentiment doesn't equate to being left-wing.

Anarchy can be either left or right, or in the middle of that spectrum:

There seems to be the undertone that since they have not done anywhere near the amount of physical damage as the BLM crowd that they are not as dangerous.
Bingo!

Lots of deflection from Conservatives on in this thread.

Not one Conservative of the "law and order" tribe is coming outright to condemn this group of criminals - in this case armed men conspiring to commit a kidnapping and murder of a liberal governor.

We will have to keep a close eye on these people if Trump tries to activate more of them to commit violence.
They are not a right wing. They are anarchist.

You did not condemn the armed group of gun toting men who conspired to kidnap and kill a liberal governor / criminal activity. You just said they are idiots. Yes, they are idiots. I agree with you on that. They are also criminals. Any criminal who commits a crime should be punished to the fullest extent of the law.

I am not going to do your work for you. All I can say is go back and re-read through the threads. I'll give you a hint and a head start though. I quoted a few members in the post and said the FBI should keep an eye on them.

These extremist militia groups are being emboldened by our Dear Leader. This is the direction Trump is taking us.
