Summary

On the War Room podcast, right-wing hosts Natalie Winters and Steve Bannon discussed plans for MAGA supporters to act as “shock troops on the streets” to support Trump’s proposed mass deportations of undocumented immigrants.

Winters argued for a broad removal of immigrants beyond just criminals, framing it as essential to the MAGA agenda.

Bannon praised her view and suggested Trump should target the estimated 11-15 million migrants who entered during Biden’s term.

Both hosts emphasized mobilizing their audience to back this agenda both in public and within the administration.

    yeah I’m gay and I tried telling my family we should leave, at least to a more blue state, and they brushed me off; and indeed all I had to say was

    “ok, well, when I’m the victim of a hate crime I want you to know I told you so. The German ‘undesirables’ who survived Nazi Germany were the ones who saw the writing on the wall and got the fuck out early while they could. The ones who who wanted to stick around and wait to see how bad it got, they were lead to the gas chambers. After they had their property seized and were brutalized for years at the hands of their government + any other German citizen who wanted to ‘do their part’.”

    nothing else I can do but wait, so… hopefully it’s quick. I’ve resisted getting a gun all this time because I struggle with depression, but there may come a point in the near future where a bullet will be a mercy, so I suppose it doesn’t really matter.

      I feel the same way about gun ownership. I’ve avoided it as I have depression. Previously, it was a pretty easy decision.

      The rise of fascism has changed the calculus for me. It may be time to arm myself.
