Trump's 'America First' Fascists Turning On Each Other In Panic Over FBI Probes

Nick Fuentes

With more arrests announced nearly every day as the FBI busts hundreds of alleged participants in the January 6 Capitol insurrection -- and eyes indictments of still others -- the far-right's growing fear is inspiring a whole new category of paranoia. Now they're spreading conspiracy theories about each other, as Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, and other extremists wonder who may be turning informant.

What seemed to be a burgeoning and unified Trumpist movement, bringing together groups as disparate as America First Women and the QAnon cult, has cracked as suspicions erupt over who is snitching on whom. The disclosure last month of allegations that Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio is a longtime FBI informant has exacerbated suspicions of betrayal and driven many of the fascists underground.

."Now racist live-streamers are accusing their former comrades of attempting to turn over followers to law enforcement, while Proud Boys chapters are splintering from the national organization over similar fears." wrote Will Sommer and Kelly Weill in a report for the Daily Beast on Sunday.

Their article delineates the growing online chorus of distrust against Nick Fuentes, an "America First" activist and neo-Nazi, whom his former pals have accused of accepting huge mysterious donations and of staging an upcoming conference in Orlando, Florida, to entrap them.

Specifically, according to the Beast reporters, Fuentes' cohort Patrick Casey, another white nationalist, has "distanced himself" from his longtime associate, while warning: "Some people who were at the Capitol are going to flip." Indeed, Casey declared in a video livestream that the ongoing federal crackdown against the violent far right will be "a million times worse" than the investigations and prosecutions that ensued after the white supremacist mayhem in Charlottesville, Virginia in August 2017.

Narcissist Trump Disdained The Wounded And Admired The War Criminal

Former President Donald Trump, Gen. Mark Milley and former Vice President Mike Pence

We’ve long known who Donald Trump is: narcissistic, impressed with authoritarian displays, contemptuous of anyone he sees as low status, a man for whom the highest principle is his own self-interest. It’s still shocking to read new accounts of the moments where he’s most willing to come out and show all that, to not even pretend to be anything but what he is—and holy crap, does The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg have the goods in his new profile of outgoing Joint Chiefs of Staff Chair Mark Milley, which focuses on Milley’s efforts to protect the military as a nonpartisan institution under Trump.

From Alabama Republicans' blatantly discriminatory congressional map, to the Wisconsin GOP's ousting of a the states' top election official and attempt to impeach a liberal Supreme Court justice, to North Carolina's decision to allow the majority-Republican legislature to appoint state and local election board members, News from the States reports these anti-democratic moves have all recently "generated national headlines" and stoked fears ahead of the 2024 presidential election.
