Here's the sort of armed Trump zealots that we're dealing with...

[True Dough]

Just plain coocoo!


SUNDOWN, Texas (Reuters) - Brett Fryar is a middle-class Republican. A 50-year-old chiropractor in this west Texas town, he owns a small business. He has two undergraduate degrees and a master’s degree, in organic chemistry. He attends Southcrest Baptist Church in nearby Lubbock.

Fryar didn’t much like Donald Trump at first, during the U.S. president’s 2016 campaign. He voted for Texas Senator Ted Cruz in the Republican primaries. Now, Fryar says he would go to war for Trump. He has joined the newly formed South Plains Patriots, a group of a few hundred members that includes a “reactionary” force of about three dozen - including Fryar and his son, Caleb - who conduct firearms training.

Nothing will convince Fryar and many others here in Sundown - including the town’s mayor, another Patriots member - that Democrat Joe Biden won the Nov. 3 presidential election fairly. They believe Trump’s stream of election-fraud allegations and say they’re preparing for the possibility of a “civil war” with the American political left.

“If President Trump comes out and says: ‘Guys, I have irrefutable proof of fraud, the courts won’t listen, and I’m now calling on Americans to take up arms,’ we would go,” said Fryar, wearing a button-down shirt, pressed slacks and a paisley tie during a recent interview at his office.

1. They have to be called on their bullshit and STOPPED

I know it COULD lead to violence ... but the longer they get away with this, the more it WILL lead to violence.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

4. The ATF should be monitoring these groups.

I am sure they and the FBI are on this.

[Alacritous Crier]

21. There's no doubt...

all of these "militia" groups are fully infiltrated.

My concern going forward will be "lone wolf" terrorists like McVeigh. I think we will experience some isolated terrorist attacks. One or two could be extreme.

[DFW]

11. I agree

Nut cases like this need a visit from a delegation of Secret Service backed up by a heavily armed SWAT team with armored vehicles.

"You were saying something about wanting to go to war with the United States? Now would be an excellent time to elaborate. We have your statement, and you have about two minutes to discuss it peaceably before we take you at your word. We're listening."

2. violent mid-life crisis in waiting.....

3. Hot air. That's all. Hot air.

He's got a business to protect. He's not going to risk that or his way of life over something like this. He'll blither and bloviate, and that will be it.

The ones you have to watch out for are the ones with nothing to defend. A meth lab, a tarpaper shack, and that's it. Nothing to defend, nothing to live for, and very powerful abstract ideals to die for.

[True Dough]

6. I hope you're right

It's even crazy to have your name attached to such statements in the public sphere, but I guess the subject of that article feels secure being surrounded by like-minded wackos in his Texas town.

[Aristus]

10. No other state in the nation is as in love with its own mythology

as Texas.

I should know. I was born and raised there.

[Fullduplexxx]

9. Make him famous and put him out of business

[uponit7771]

22. +1, they all need a burger and a nap first

[Blue Owl]

5. The problem is, Brett Fryar, is that Donald Trump is a LIAR

and he does not have irrefutable proof of fraud. He's just a con-artist that has you conned hook, line, and sinker...

[cwydro]

7. Take up arms and do what exactly?

Who do they attack? How?

[uponit7771]

23. They attack the troops they consummately lionize

[mr_lebowski]

8. THIS IS HUGH PEOPLE IM SERIES WHAT IF THEY TAKE OVER THE PIGGLY WIGGLY!!1!! nt

[cwydro]

15. Lol.

Exactly.

[catbyte]

12. How conveeeeeeenient. So they'll "go to war if the courts don't listen?" What he won't say is

that none of these lawsuits filed allege voter fraud. They can't because there is none. So of course, the courts won't listen because they were never presented with evidence of fraud. But, trump's crack "legal team" is employing what is that Russian term? A firehose of falsehoods? to fool rubes like that clown. What a clusterfuck.

[yonder]

16. +1.

[Arne]

13. You had me at

rest Baptist Church in nearby Lubbock

[yonder]

14. "...calling on Americans to take up arms,' we would go," Good luck with that. Not.

They will be going alright, just not where they thought and a whole lot quicker. He and his reactionary force of 3 dozen "patriot" pals think it will somehow pan out like it does in the TV and movies. They stand no chance against highly-trained, professionals.

[FakeNoose]

19. Riding on their motorcycles no doubt

... most without masks or helmets.

[4Q2u2]

17. Pro's VS Amatuers

The Pro has been trained extensively and his Rifle is only his tool. They are the Weapon.
An Amateur is the TOOL and the rifle his weapon.

A lot more than bang bang is involved in an armed confrontation.

I will put my 24 yrs up against Junior's Training any day of the week. I won't even have to bring a gun.
I will just pry it from his cold dead hands.

Back in WW I, he would have been a Dough Boy




You know, stout pleated pants also come in various lengths too. It one length, hemming them costs only $5.

27. Chamber of Commerce, Justice of the Peace and a Chiropractor in the same address.

[True Dough]

28. Ha! It is just a little ridiculous!

Better watch out, he might trip over those pantlegs while running with his gun.

[musette_sf]

20. "Sundown, TX"??

Takes stones to actually name your town with a giant dog whistle:

[joshcryer]

24. I wish Trump would do it but he's a coward and wouldn't dare.

I really with Trump would call upon his minions to take up arms and do it clearly and unequivocally. It would be the fastest, easiest way to get over this stain on our country. A few hundred of them would die and the rest would scatter and pretend they were never involved.

[Buckeye_Democrat]

25. They better not try creeping 'round my back stairs.

I'll give those freaks no quarter.

[Bradshaw3]

26. They just quoted the mayor on CNN

So a repub elected official is considering civil war!

OMG!!!!!!

Then I looked up Sundown, Texas. Population 1397. I think we're going to be ok.

But I guarantee you this mayor will be quoted on here before the day is through showing how we all need to cower and get ready to fight in the streets.

[grantcart]

29. A chiropractor should do quite well in prison, win win

[True Dough]

31. Something's going to get

stretched and compressed behind bars!!

[VOX]

30. Onward, Antifa Army, to Sundown, Texas! Take no prisoners!

We’ll make that sorry town HOWL!
