The Base is emerging from shadows and ramping up its ranks as White House turns blind eye to the far right

An international neo-Nazi terrorist organization is boldly continuing to build in the US and planning a new paramilitary training event without fear of local authorities or the FBI, which once dismantled it in a nationwide effort.

The Base, founded in 2018 by a former Pentagon contractor living in Russia and now suspected of Kremlin-sponsored espionage, once boasted close to 50 stateside members before the bureau made more than a dozen arrests in a years-long counter-terrorism operation.

But since the presidential election campaign last year and what many then believed to be a surefire victory for Donald Trump, the Base saw an opportunity in a potential administration uninterested in policing white supremacy and went about ramping up its ranks.

    k, well, remember this loss and dont try the same shenanigans if there is a next time, alrighty? You can choose either AIPAC money/war crimes OR the votes of the left-- not both. Thats the reality you centrists get. Its not up for debate or negotiation.

    If you think 4 years of Trump will fundamentally change that, try the same thing again and watch what happens. See you in the midterms.

    Also, I want to do a special shout out for you @optional, in bringing this up again and again, and again, and my god, again. Tedious for us all, even me! But the DNC hasnt changed even a little bit, and repeating this exercise until the centrist idiots get the message that they cant force it is going to take a lot of repeating. So keep up the good work buddy. See you in the next post.
