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.

    @Optional,

    Some things (like supporting war crimes and mass murder) you shouldn’t ever make deals on. Thats the difference between you and a progressive.

    The DNC knew you’d cave and do whatever you were told to do, no matter what that was. I guarantee that the DNC told AIPAC that they could deliver your vote.

    You will take the left’s demands of ending AIPAC pay-to-play within the party as a non negotiable or you will not have lefty support in all future votes and the dems will continue to lose and disintegrate as a party-- because theres not enough centrists in the US to win an election.

      Amazing! And thats how you became a trump supporter?

      No, hey i get it, you’ll get a much better bunk in the gulag. It’s understandable. Good job with the whole, progress, and everything. It’s very. And of course accelerationism is to thank!

      The people who died without USAID were only too happy to help. The four years of critical climate efforts blown to shit will not be necessary now because “progressives” have it all figured out! It was the evil Jews all along! Well, that’s another exciting thing you’d think non-voting “progressives” would have in common with trump’s slimepit but in fact do not, so. Bummer there. Steve Bourbon will be happy to talk with you though.

      Hey, I hear there’s an art contest down at the local gym, maybe y’all could sit that out too! Y’know, being as you’re all about the progress.
