1/ Thread 🧵
I don't think I'll be able to include EVERYONE that has been the subject of MAGA inspired death threats, but I thought I'd at least give it a shot. The radicalization of our fellow Americans continues...

2/ It's important to understand how they use labels to target ppl. Ron DeSantis' crusade against "woke" is even dumber than it looks, but the buzzwords, "satanic", "antifa", "communist", "terrorist" etc. are how they incite violence. It's not just "other-ing".

3/ #MikeFlynn is someone who knows a thing or two about religious radicalization. He spent the better part of his career fighting it before turning traitor against the constitution.

4/ @Jen_Senko did an excellent documentary on how right wing media uses authoritative hypnosis techniques on their captive audience to cultivate grievance, condition hostility, and deliberately spread misinformation.

5/ @jimstewartson is still banned from Twitter for swearing, but his work in exposing how military psy-ops techniques are in fact being used against our own people is excellent.

6/ So who has been targeted of these fascist, politically violent tactics? It's a long f*cking list, and you will not be surprised to learn, it's hardly ever real "communists", "antifa", or "terrorists".
Most recently, The FBI and IRS:

7/ Healthcare Workers.
"Several people have been shot to death in disputes over masks in stores and other public places."

8/ Teachers
Type "MAGA death threats _______" into Google. It's all there.
9/ Election workers.
Oddly, most journalism failed to pick up the "MAGA" tag and add it to their reporting. Trump supporters use that acronym to self-identify, and to mark things they approve of. Everything trump is also "MAGA".

10/ "RINO's"
This means "Republicans In Name Only". If you are not loyal to the fürher you are a phony, if not a betrayer, according to the #MAGACult leaders and influencers.

11/ Black Lives Matter
Because MAGA, at it's very clogged and crooked heart, is white supremacist. All of it.

12/ Immigrants/Hispanics
Note: the MAGAe discriminate based on skin color, NOT nationality.
13/ Shakespearean Theater
... seriously.
But, if you are white, and oppose or offend the MAGAe they will come for you too.

14/ Now it's possible to argue that Republicans didn't build this Frankenstein's Monster, but they have fed that fire and weaponized those conditioned responses from their supporters every step of the way, to include trying to overthrow the constitution on #January6th.
15/ The irony of DeSantis talking about Florida not becoming a #WokeDumpsterFire on his watch is pretty f'n thick.
#Wokened
16/ @jennycohn1 has been doing some excellent reporting, not just on election integrity, but also on the theocratic roots of this violent extremist movement in America.
17/ So has @gal_suburban using the hashtag:
#InstitutesOfMassDestruction
18/ Journalists
Journalists get a disproportionate amount of death threats, for simply documenting reality as it happens.

19/ Drag Queens
(Really, the entire LGBTQ community)
The Southern Policy Law Center tracks hate groups and extremists.

20/ Even large corporations who don't go along with the MAGA/neo nazi agenda are not safe. Lest we forget that burning shoes and throwing away razors led to an increase in foot maladies and neck beards. 🤔
21/ But I think it's also important to look at who NEVER gets threatened by MAGA, despite their professed Christianity, Pro-freedom-ness, and Patriotism.
Oil companies, big banks, defense contractors, casinos, cocaine dealers, gun traffickers, private prisons, Russians...
22/ ...tax cheats, real estate developers, money launderers, polluters, literal Nazis, tobacco companies, prostitutes, insurance companies, domestic terrorists, their own prolific list of sex offenders...
Almost as if it's the mafia or something.
