They Want to Kill Americans: The Militias, Terrorists, and Deranged Ideology of the Trump Insurgency
by Malcolm W. Nance
View on GoodreadsTITUS, the Trump Insurgency in the United States: that's Nance's name for the movement around the Proud Boys, Oath Keepers and Three Percenters. His case is that it radicalizes the way Middle Eastern terrorist groups do, is prepared to use violence to overturn democratic outcomes, and will be a threat for generations.
Core ideas
- A strategy of revenge: The movement's four-part strategy centers on avenging the 2020 election and could extend to killing opposition politicians.
- Inside the ranks: Active-duty police and military personnel, and former service members, turn up in these movements, and the book tracks their numbers.
- Normal is the risk: With the Republican Party complicit, including on voting rights, choosing a return to normal over accountability leaves your democracy exposed.
