Addendum: #IRLScholarSaraAhmed "the Aryan Nations Web site, the role of emotions, in particular of hate and love, is crucial to the delineation of the bodies of individual subjects and the body of the nation. Here a subject (the white nationalist, the average white man, the white housewife, the white working man, the white citizen, and the white Christian farmer) is presented as endangered by imagined others whose proximity threatens not only to take something away from the subject (jobs, security, wealth), but to take the place of the subject. In other words, the presence of these others is imagined as a threat to the object of love. The narrative involves a rewriting of history, in which the labor of others (migrants, slaves) is concealed in a fantasy that it is the white subject who 'built this land.' The white subjects claim the place of hosts ('our shores') at the same time as they claim the position of the victim, as the ones who are damaged by an 'unmerciful government.' The narrative hence suggests that it is love for the nation that makes the white Aryans hate those whom they recognize as strangers, as the ones who are taking away the nation and the role of the Aryans in its history, as well as their future.
We might note as well that the reading of others as hateful aligns the imagined subject with rights and the imagined nation with ground. This alignment is affected by the representation of both the rights of the subject and the grounds of the nation as already under threat. It is the emotional reading of hate that works to bind the imagined white subject and nation together. The average white man feels 'fear and loathing'; the white housewife, 'repulsion and anger'; the white workingman, 'curses'; the white Christian farmer, 'rage.' The passion of these negative attachments to others is redefined simultaneously as a positive attachment to the imagined subjects brought together through the repetition of the signifier, 'white.' It is the love of white, or those recognizable as white, that supposedly explains this shared 'communal' visceral response of hate. Together we hate, and this hate is what makes us together" (Sara Ahmed, 2004, pp.117-118).

"QAnon ideas have spread so widely among Christian congregations that hundreds of evangelical pastors signed on to an open letter in February condemning 'Christian Nationalism' and the role that QAnon has played in the radicalization of white evangelicals.
'Just as it was tragically inconsistent for Christians in the 20th Century to support the Ku Klux Klan and Nazi ideology, it is unthinkable for Christians to support the Proud Boys, Oathkeepers, QAnon, 3 Percenters, America Firsters, and similar groups,' the letter read.
Anon adherents often bristle at the term 'QAnon' and split hairs regarding the difference between the mysterious 'Q' who posts cryptic drops and the 'Anons' that attempt to decode them. Perhaps another name is in order: the Q Qlux Qlan. To be certain, there are non-white believers in the movement, including a handful of Black speakers at the recent 'Qonference'. But even the remnants of the KKK have started reaching out beyond White folks.
Regardless of what one calls the movement, the deeply religious character of the prevailing beliefs and the zealotry of the adherents is abundantly clear.
Moreover, the violent rhetoric of the movement -- including open calls for hanging politicians and a military coup -- invites comparisons to Christian Nationalism's more explicitly violent and totalitarian relative, Christian Fascism" (9 June 2021). https://bylinetimes.com/2021/06/09/the-christofascism-of-qanon/ #ConspiracyTheoryCabalQAnon #OrgClassifGrpMilitiaUSProudBoys #OrgClassifGrpMilitiaUSOathKeepers #OrgClassifGrpMilitiaUSThreePercenters #AdvocacyUSDigitalCitizensAlliance https://www.digitalcitizensalliance.org/clientuploads/directory/Reports/DCA_The_Domestic_Extremist_Next_Door.pdf

At a Florida rally on Sunday the US president sowed confusion by seemingly referencing a non-existent terrorist attack in Sweden, later explaining on Twitter that the comment had been a reference to a news segment on the Fox News TV channel, which described an 'incredible surge of violence' in Sweden.
But two police officers interviewed for the broadcast told Dagens Nyeter newspaper on Monday that their interview had been edited and 'we were answering completely different questions in the interview'. They described the filmmaker who interviewed them, Ami Horowitz, as 'a madman'.
Horowitz denied the accusations, saying he stood by his reporting and that the two policemen were 'probably under a lot of pressure because of what they said'." https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/feb/20/swedish-police-comments-taken-out-of-context-in-film-cited-by-trump #IRLYouTuberAmiHorowitz #NewspaperSECompactDagensNyeter

But when Donald Trump wants to get the straight dope on the impenetrable mysteries of Sweden, there's only one man he trusts: filmmaker Ami Horowitz. Horowitz was interviewed on Tucker Carlson Tonight on Friday, in a now-notorious segment that gave our marble-mouthed illiterate of a president the vague idea that bad, terrorist-related things were going on there. ...
Carlson only showed a few excerpts from Horowitz's short film Stockholm Syndrome on the segment Trump watched, saving time to interview the filmmaker about refugee aid--or, as Carlson calls it, 'the masochism of the West,'--spread lies about 'no-go zones,' and tut-tut at the luxurious lives of refugees in Sweden.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=najeyO0CuXw reminds me of the same sort of argument, centring the belief that political difference (in this case between #OrgClassifPPUSDemocraticParty.s and #OrgClassifPPUSRepublicanPartyGOP.s) is opposite but equal - cancelling each other out i.e. a #CharacterisationZeroSumGame. The point that 'politicians are all the same' also feels very #BehaviourDefeatism.ist (saying something about the lack of #PhenomnAgencyEmpowerment that is presumably, felt by those who are making the statement). The obvious question to ask is about who benefits from this position i.e. who's interests does disengaging from politics serve?
I'm thinking here of #OrgClassifPPUSRepublicanPartyGOPPOTUSDonaldTrump's misjudgement where be infamously told the #OrgClassifGrpMilitiaUSProudBoys to #PleaStandBackAndStandBy and then followed on by condemning #CauseAntifa in relation to #PoliticsNationalismWhite violence at the #2017_UniteTheRightRally in #ToponymAmericaNorthUSVirginiaCharlottesville, where he sought to #BehaviourNormalisation.e (and therefore, #BehaviourTrivialisation.e) the violence with his statement: "you also had people that were very fine people, on both sides" https://www.politifact.com/article/2019/apr/26/context-trumps-very-fine-people-both-sides-remarks/

"Militias are typically built around preparation for an existential violent threat, in which participants usually envision themselves as heroes--protecting and preserving their families and communities. Although the nature of this alleged threat varies between groups and over time, members are largely unified by their opposition to government authority and support for second amendment rights." https://www.csis.org/blogs/examining-extremism/examining-extremism-militia-movement
