Outraged by the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, a wilderness survival trainer spent years undercover climbing the ranks of right-wing militias. He didn’t tell police or the FBI. He didn’t tell family or friends. The one person he told was a ProPublica reporter.
Next time someone says they’re a bunch of fat, stupid, gun nuts, I’m pointing to this. Been downvoted many times for saying these people are real, trained and fit. You only see the Gravy Seals because they’re a joke.

Did you read the whole thing?! Despite all his up and downs, random careers and jobs, he was still able to pull these people together. That should be a wake up call. For all of us.
Not to put too fine a point on it, but we libs could do the same, get a political org that actually speaks to people and gets them engaged. Or, at worst, ready to defend themselves.
That’s a killer business idea.
