"Stand back, stand by", code for insurrection? Proud Boys ready to ambush America?

The Clown in chief for some inexplicable reason throws shade on white supremacy and racists all across America. For what? Does he really think these clowns can reverse an election? This is stupid beyond all reason and probably criminal in intent.

Trump told Russia to interfere in the 2016 election and they followed his instructions. He has put the hate groups on notice that they should be prepared to act in the 2020 election. Once again trump seems to be engaging in criminal incitement. Encouraging hate groups to act on his behalf.

Engaging in overthrowing an election is no different than attempting to overthrow the government. Trumps opinion of absentee voting is just that, an opinion, it means nothing and will not stand as an excuse to act.

Acts of terrorism, perhaps.
These punks aren't going to foment mass combat. They'd all be dead, wounded or curled up in the fetal position as soon as it comes to a fight with trained, armed personnel.
If Biden beats PINO bad, the military who, per Stars & Stripes has clear majority disapproval of the fake CiC, especially the officers, will mobilize.
And governors will call out the NG.
AR-15s against APCs? They'll get slaughtered, and they know it.

We can even turn to where it is explicitly defined in law in the Code of Federal Regulation:

Terrorism is defined in the Code of Federal Regulations as “the unlawful use of force and violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives” (28 C.F.R. Section 0.85).


And similarly, definitions tell us the proper word for what tRump did last night, which is not merely incitement, because of what, specifically, is being incited:



What Trump did is terrorism by proxy.

I’m sure they’d describe it as the actions of patriots “defending America from the Democrat coup.”
