Right-wing extremists talk about a civil war

The alleged wannabe mass murderer in the Coast Guard googled "civil war if Trump impeached."

Where could he possibly get such an insane idea?

In a draft email contained in filings against Christopher Hasson, he spoke in terms distinctly similar to those associated with the “alt-right” movement and the network of extremist supporters of President Donald Trump, writes @MazMHussain. https://t.co/yM6acy6h2U

Imagine the willful ignorance regarding a thwarted mass shooting plot by a Trump supporter who had a hit list of names of Democrats only & who threatened civil war if Trump were impeached. Imagine a person ignoring that to focus on something far less dangerous. https://t.co/4USH0PLiIG

There's a really persistent and unnerving obsession in many quarters of the right with a new civil war around the corner. It's become a fairly common theme. Shows up in the Hasson memo and, other places, too. Like thishttps://t.co/8A5UubFRsl

It's only gotten worse since — once, he told listeners to self-investigate "leftist churches" — which definitely has shades of pizzagate. https://t.co/RnFqrrArSZ
