Think Trump's tweets have no effect? Think they're not received as a signal?

On a "certain forum" where white nationalists communicate, this is the kind of messaging being spread about the protests.

"Your boog is on"

"TRUMP CALLING FOR COUNTER PROTESTS THIS IS IT BOYS"
"What's the best gun for...."
"Where were you when the president announced Kristallnacht II?"
"Kristallnacht made Germany great again. I wonder what MAGA night could be?"
"HE IS CALLING UPON US TO ASSEMBLE."
Now, you may sit there and say to yourself,

"It's talk. They're trolling They're not going to do..."

And then remember how many mass shootings we've had.

This is the effect of that type of propaganda, and you need to be aware.

Please stay safe.
I didn't use that term in my thread for a reason. Let's not signal them, okay?

"reputable" or not, propaganda has violent effects. It only takes one person to take it seriously.
