not to mention the countless postal workers and Secret Service personnel---are alive and unmaimed ONLY because he was a stereotypically stupid Trump worshipper. Had this twisted inadequate loser been of even average intelligence and competence, we would be spending today in tears as funeral dirges and processions dominated the tv coverage.

The success rate of detonation of the MAGAbombs would like have been much higher. This is why the Fascists and White Supremacists are so eager to join up with the military - so they can gain the expertise of weapons use, munitions, and bomb making/handling, defusing. Then they can return to the streets of America with this knowledge under their Nazi belts and show the USA who the real macho alpha tough guy Fascist males they are.

(5,914 posts)Trump controls and manipulates people through fear. His followers are very afraid, just like their bully coward Orange God King. They don't mind sending bombs to libs or shooting up elementary schools, because their victims won't be attacking back. They won't have this luxury in the military.
I knew several gung-ho rightwingers in high school who couldn't wait to enlist to start shooting off real guns and blowing things up "real good". They ALL washed out within a couple of years when the brutal, scary reality of violence smacked them in the face.
The Bundy Bunch that tried to take over that Federal facility probably represent the best, brightest, and most organized of the white nationalist militia, and they made the Three Stooges look like the Impossible Missions Force.

In the US, white supremacists have infiltrated police and military to get weapons training

New York: Law enforcement, the military, and politics in the United States have been infiltrated by white supremacists, who use it to recruit others and gain paramilitary training.
The claim, by a former neo-Nazi skinhead who now works as an anti-racist activist, is supported by internal reports on local policing by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the top domestic law enforcement agency in the US.

(14,155 posts).... Fascists, Nazis, and White Supremacists still sneak by and gain entry to inside military and specialized police force training. All the while - by intentions and design - concealing and hiding their White Supremacist inclinations and gang membership.
