Summary
On the War Room podcast, right-wing hosts Natalie Winters and Steve Bannon discussed plans for MAGA supporters to act as “shock troops on the streets” to support Trump’s proposed mass deportations of undocumented immigrants.
Winters argued for a broad removal of immigrants beyond just criminals, framing it as essential to the MAGA agenda.
Bannon praised her view and suggested Trump should target the estimated 11-15 million migrants who entered during Biden’s term.
Both hosts emphasized mobilizing their audience to back this agenda both in public and within the administration.
They miss spelled Sturmabteilung (SA)
I look forward to seeing the gravy seals put their urban prowess to the test here on the streets of Baltimore.

And even if they are fat, stupid, and untrained, as long as they’re armed, they’re a real threat.
Yup. They’re still fat basturds with guns at the end of the day. And they’re Hangry ones.
Guns are force equalizers. That goes both ways.
You’re goddamned right.
We all saw them on J6.
And? There were actual operators there. And that was a grabass clusterfuck, pulled together on almost zero notice. What do you imagine they’re been doing the last 4-years?
Removed, ableist slur.
Oh yeah, that’s sure to help you.
And this is why liberals so goddamned always lose.
“I’m sorry sir, you used an elementary school insult. We can’t have that sort of talk.”
If you hadn’t noticed, polite company just parted ways with our common discourse.
To be fair there are a ton of the gravy seals, but you’re absolutely right that there is also smaller but much, much more dangerous core
Shock troops what a novel concept.
:brown shirts:
Remember, scared immigrants don’t ask for more rights education and pay raise!
It’s not about you!
Your job stays overseas.
Huh, when the left is doing anything activist, the qons - and the “liberal media” - ask questions that basically boil down to: “don’t they have jobs?”
Meanwhile the qons and the “liberal media” don’t seem to ask questions about the J6 insurrectionists, and I doubt they’ll ask how qons have so much free time on their hands to be shock troops - don’t these motherfuckers WORK?
Ah the SA is back. Question, who will play Ernst Röhm ? Must be some MAGA dude who is gay, to fulfil the “roleplay”
Do not forget, the Germans didn’t have Weapons at that time AND there was way less to actually organize - you can fight this! And do not let people tell you, Germans just did go with it.
Only one danger could have jeopardized this development – if our adversaries had understood its principle, established a clear understanding of our ideas, and not offered any resistance. Or, alternatively, if they had from the first day annihilated with the utmost brutality the nucleus of our new movement.
They could have fought then, we can fight now. It’s getting a little late in the game, but i do not think it is too late.
Vance. Godda be Vance. Right hand to Trump now, so when the night of the long knives occurs, he’s got a rope waiting.
Peter Thiel?
Shock troops would probably have to break lots of windows. Those shock troops may also be operating at night for the element of surprise. There should be a name for that. Night of broken glass perhaps? How about a loanword from another language to shorten that, like Kristallnacht?
This is why as a minority and progressive that believe in gun control still advocate that we responsibly exercise our right to bear arms.
These assholes are asking for their members to kill minorities here, you don’t use the term “shock troops” without the expectation of violence, especially when they know full well their members are violence loving assholes who will hurt whoever they all to.
Especially Asian Americans, don’t think for a second that being a ‘model minority’ is going to save your asses from this. This going to be a Niemoller situation. They’re already a huge anti Asian sentiment within that party and the people who these guys are taking about also can’t tell the difference between a Mexican and a Asian, cripes can’t tell you how many times I’ve legitimately been and that in Missouri. And of they actual mass deport people, the economy tanks because of it, they’re going to be looking for their next scapegoat.
Protect yourselves guys because second count when the police are full of racists.
Ah, here comes the SA.
So, einsatzgruppen. Got it.
Minus the fact that most Germans did not have weapons in the Weimarer Republic
National Guard gonna be wishing they enlisted active duty right about now
Only real question is do they go with matching, Brown, Black, or Silver shirts
If the DNC was thinking ahead even the slightest bit, they’d be planning to do everything they can to publicize the impact Trump’s policies are having in real-time. Getting messaging out to everyone who is negatively impacted every time Trump does something, making sure they understand exactly what is happening, and why, would be a lot more effective than their usual strategy of doing nothing until a few months before an election then trying to convince people who’ve been told for years that democrats are the devil that Trump has been hurting them.
Contact these people personally. “Hi - Trump’s policies mean you will no longer be covered by the ACA; here’s some information on other, far worse and more expensive, insurance options. This is how much this is likely to cost you. Please contact your representative if you find this to be distressing.”
Needs to be a running social media account like when they live tweeted WWI and WWII.
Time to keep our powder dry. Nixon in '72 and Reagan in '84 both won bigger victories than Trump did last week, but both were brought low within 2 years. Nixon was out of a job. So never lose hope!
And then we have Vance waiting in the wings with the rest of the heritage foundation fascists.
I don’t think 72 and 84 are good comparisons. By 86, Reagan was well into dementia. Nixon resigned before being impeached or criminally charged.
Trump’s accelerating personality disorder will prevent him from resigning. He’ll just lash out with greater and greater misplaced vengeance.
If his lashing starts to threaten Republicans, they might consider ousting him before he can start doing things they consider to be real damage. We can hope.
When they go low, we so high that no one can see us 👋
