Considering the Klan is recruiting there now...

Yeah, there's a reason they do this with PRIVATE shipment hubs and not USPS hubs.

That's the thing about martyrs - nobody NEEDS to fill his shoes. They just need to claim to be "carrying on his legacy" and constantly refer back to him, and that's good enough for a large portion of the cult.

We've seen this exact thing happen with a lot of cults that have gone mainstream - it happened with Mormonism, and it happened with Scientology.

Additionally, with the firepower at just the US' disposal, we could level almost every major pop center in Russia. Waves of Tomahawks, ICBMs and bombers could do it without the US putting boots on the ground. We nearly did this with Baghdad back in 02.

Oh definitely. Dude thought "wow this is my chance to be a hero", I'm sure.

Worse, you know it's gonna be deployed into every sector. Better get ready to like your AI-designed Transformers toys, or your new My Little Pony lineup made possible by ChatGPT.

Yup, this is a pretty well-known tactic, sadly. It's effectively just paper terrorism - instead of doing the harder work of getting people incited to ACTUALLY kill people or do violence, you get them to do minor shit instead; bomb threats, assaults, etc, and use that as a smokescreen for the people who were already planning to do violence to go do violence effectively unchallenged.

About 35% here in my little corner of Ohio.

I think this is what they're hoping for: Trump holds on until the election, then kicks the bucket a month into office so Vance, a far more naked and coherent authoritarian, can take his place and start signing whatever he wants, with little to no fanfare or recognition because he's happy to just have power.

Basically this. There's a lot of racists who assume that since they're not burning a cross or lynching every Black person they meet, they're JUST NOT RACISTS.

There's two things in most prisons that will get you targeted: fucking with kids and fucking with animals.
