I ask that as a question.
The way they chanted in unison leads me to believe they all have military experience. They were too well-organized and ritualized to be common citizens, in my opinion.
It seems that Trump is getting the old January 6th gang together again. Even the "state fair" event was staged by the same people (ESI) that organized the rally before the January 6th insurrection. And today we see these White Nationlists taking over the subway car, with the photo of the brave girl sitting in the middle of it all.
Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty. We need to stay vigilant. These people are not going away any time soon.

(32,077 posts)but mostly they look to be wannabe military.
If you look closely at their marching skills, they were sloppy, one guy did not even bother to raise his right foot while keeping cadence while stopped. Anyone who was actually in the military would do it correctly out of muscle memory.

(5,644 posts)next time i expect their execution to be a little tighter than jan 6.
on jan 6 the proud boys did march in formation from the rally to the capital.
it would only take a few veterans to act as ncos.

(24,920 posts)Their rituals come from their political meetings (online or in person). Their efforts are mainly stickering, taking to people in chat rooms, and figuring out logistics of things like they did today.
