A group of far-right Christian nationalists known as the Black Robe Regiment is devoted to Donald Trump and expected to cast doubt on the 2022 election results.

In a new report, Vice News describes the Black Robe Regiment as "a modern-day group inspired by a myth of a group of militant pastors during the American Revolution who took up arms to lead their flock into battle against the British. The movement, imbued with support from far-right political activists like Michael Flynn, wants pastors to play a central role in not only preaching politics from the pulpit but also actively getting their congregations to rise up and claim election fraud by weaving myths about the American Revolution together with modern-day conspiracy theories and hard-line Christianity. These pastors believe they’re saving democracy, though what they’re really doing is encouraging supporters to undermine the democratic process."

Flynn's Christian nationalist "ReAwaken America" roadshow has been touring America all year.

Christian nationalists have always been around, but they just don't bother with the robes and hoods as much as they used to.
They probably still burn the crosses, though.
 
An old friend of mine from Jr high and high school has become one of those kooks. For all I know, he could be one of those black robe weirdos, too. His social media is nothing but a daily litany of pro-Trump/anti-vax/anything else you can imagine conspiracy theories. He's been a "Christian", or rather he's considered himself one, but how genuine is another story. But in the past few years he's gotten political. I think it's due to a certain degree, to his adherence to a goofball Tennessee "pastor" named Greg Locke who spews all that nonsense in his "sermons". My friend always was a gullible rube though.

Wouldn't it be nice if groups like these were met with an FBI like that of the Hoover era? Hmmm, maybe that quasi-STASI agency known as the DHS could fill the bill. But will they act accordingly against predominantly (if not totally) caucasian anti-gov't groups? :thinking:

That's why I have No Soliciting signs. To keep out the riffraff.
