Who Are You More Afraid Of RWNJs or Muslims?

There are heavily armed RWNJ militias marching in the streets of several major cities across the country right now. This sort of thing would never have happened under a normal administration. But the tRump administration has normalized hate and violence.

Our church isn't inviting a right wing nut job to speak next month. So I'd have to say right wing nut jobs.

Taking incidents involving a small unrepresentative sample of a population and trying to use that to extrapolate to the larger population isn't valid for telling you anything. You're taking an infrequent episode involving a population you don't like and ignoring other similarly infrequent about a different population.

Statistically speaking, neither is particularly likely to directly harm you.

I'd say that right wing nut jobs are indeed more likely to directly harm me, like that nazi fuck did to Ricky, Taleisin and Micah. And now his ideological compatriots have decided to bring their hatred and violence to the heart of my city.

I remember the Oklahoma bombing and it was just as bad as 9-11.

My prediction is there will be a rwnj terrorist event occurring before any Muslim lifting a finger. Those in the Muslim communities in the US are really watching and making sure there are no Muslim terrorist incidents in their communities.

Isn't terrorism supposed to scare people into submitting to the terrorist's agenda? I'm pretty sure that is the effect these asshats are looking for: You'd better stop being Muslim or we're going to shoot and kill you.

The uniforms and flags aren't fooling anyone, they share the same Anti-American goals of ISIS and other religious extremist. Marching around with weapons in an attempt to terrorize the non believers, this shit isn't patriotic, it's terrorism.

There is a reason for the concept of the "coastal elites" and people in the pictures above make the bar pretty low to be considered elite.

It's been an enlightening experience from them. One who spoke in support of same sex marriage while many of our politicians on our side were still iffy is just one example.

These people on the other hand, they are increasingly becoming the mirror image of Daesh.

These people are emotionally and intellectually stunted. Also, did you see there are some women in their ranks. We shouldn't discriminate based on gender.

I do consider RWNJs much more dangerous, but I'm more afraid of some of the affluenza affected college students around here, driving to, from, and between parties.

They have been "dumbed down" and armed up by this government's programs. Do your research. It worked better than they could've imagined in their wildest dreams.

Shouldn't the title of your post be more like
"who are you more afraid of....islamic terrorists or right wing militia hate groups"

I don't think anyone is actually afraid of Muslims in general, or at least a very small percentage of small minded people. Your post is kinda slanted to get a certain answer, and of course there are always the followers that immediately say " RWNJ's of course!!" like it actually means anything.
