You know what, I'm starting to think you guys really should start building that wall around you.
No one should be surprised, this book was written 12 years ago:
"Irregular Army: How the US Military Recruited Neo-Nazis, Gang Members, and Criminals to Fight the War on Terror"
I found the documentary "Bad Faith" to be quite enlightening. Highly recommend it:

Edit: For understanding more of the context of white christian nationalism, white supremacy, etc
That makes sense. There's a reason that the 3 European counties who actaully choose fascism were the 3 most Christian: Germany Italy and Spain. No true Scotsman argument withstanding, well over 90% of people in nazi Germany were Christian, for example.
Its not all Christians of course and I don't have any problem with the vast, vast majority of them but there are parts of the bible that can and have been very deliberately bastardised by people for centuries and others just read literally in a way that can be formed into something really horrible. I might not believe in God but I do agree with Christians when they say the Bible is a powerful book. However, like all powerful things, it can be and is being misused, per the book itself.
One of the central points of the documentary is that Christian Nationalism isn't about Christianity. It's in direct violation of many of the central tenants of Christianity... not that that's stopped Christians before. But it's the perfect vessel to encapsulate a white supremacist power play.
So, Nazi Germany has returned.
It's gonna be more like Nazi battle Royale. We got some major tribalism brewing here.
Yeah, the news-media is salivating on all the clicks it's receiving right now.
Almost if it's benefiting them that Trump was elected. Hmm.
Couldn't possibly be gaslighting the country about a mentally incapacitated incumbent until 2 months from the election
This is what USA actually is.
Trump simply gave them permission to remove their masks. America is, and always has been, and always will be, a racist country founded on racist principles.
Miller and this guy. Two confirmed Nazis... this is going to end up great. /s
