https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2020/6/4/1950429/-Trump-campaign-now-rallying-a-brownshirt-Army-on-Trump-s-behalf



Washington Post reporter Aaron Blake published the Trump/Pence campaign’s latest "FOR PATRIOTS ONLY" email. In it, the campaign says it is assembling a "Trump Army." It is unconcerned with subtlety, directly extending Trump's own calls for, as he put it, "Second Amendment" responses to Americans protesting police violence. The "President," you see, is raising a brownshirt army:

"The President wants YOU and every other member of our exclusive Trump Army to have something to identify yourselves with, and to let everyone know that YOU are the President's first line of defense when it comes to fighting off the Liberal MOB."

During any period when a sitting president had not already encouraged his base, from the White House Rose Garden, to arm themselves and perhaps start shooting at other Americans, this emailed exhortation would be seen as merely crass. Today, at this moment, it is self-evident that Trump supporters who receive this email will be further convinced that they are an "Army," that they are Trump's "first line of defense," and that they should prepare for "fighting off" not attackers, not rioters, not even looters, but "Liberals."

The last line, imploring Trump's collection of paranoid Americans to "not pass this information on to anyone," is further meant to fire off conspiracy synapses.

Trump/Pence 2020: We're Raising A Private Army.
