It's a pity I can't crosspost in lemmy in a way that would merge the comments in the original thread.

There's plenty of paramilitary groups in the USA, like the proud boys. Also this is not the same world we hade 90 years go. Things can work out massively differently today. For example, you don't need to directly terrorize people physically anymore, when you can silence them just as easily through stochastic terrorism like libs of tiktok does daily on twitter right now.

Maybe, but at least the Proud Boys are not big enough for what I mean, and in general these paramilitary groups seem highly fractured and not all that well aligned with the main MAGA group.

And no, I don't think the world today is all that different. The Nazis already used public radio and later television to similar effect.
