Rightwing Militias A Growing Threat?

Up in the backwoods and mountain towns in North Carolina/Tennessee there are reports of 'Cajun Navy' self tagged assholes threatening FEMA personnel with the FEMA people being pulled out for most of the day when they could be helping folks out by clearing downed trees in a safe manner and getting supplies to some needy souls.

I don't get it...

Send in some National Guard troops and put a stop to this gangsterism created by Republicans and their leaders.

In the hour of scarcity irrational panic and paranoia strike deep.

"Under a microscope" implies a high level of scrutiny to ascertain the truth/facts. Trump and MAGA have no intention of ascertaining the facts or truth. They want to contrive a false narrative that they feel will help them, notwithstanding the damage it does to the citizenry. This is true in Springfield, OH, Aurora, IL and with the hurricanes.

You do realize that a lot of the misinformation "informing" these militia members comes from your boy Putin, eh?
