Malcolm Nance: Behind the Ideology of the Trump Insurgency

In the post-2020 world, Americans, having faced the controversies of the 2020 election and the January 6 insurrection, may be tempted to do their best to forget these events and move on - yet to bestselling author Malcolm Nance, this is the worst thing they can do. As the country is experiencing a sharp rise in radicalism and hostility toward democracy, Nance argues that it is more important than ever to be actively confronting the rise of a new threat to democracy from within.
Malcolm Nance is a leading expert in counter-terrorism studies, as well as an intelligence analyst, cryptologist, former senior chief petty officer in the United States Navy and founding executive director of the New York-based think tank Terror Asymmetrics Project on Strategy, Tactics and Radical Ideologies. Nance has written at length on the dangers posed by major terrorist groups, such as ISIS and al-Qaeda.
In his latest book, They Want to Kill Americans, Nance explains how conspiracy theories, white privilege and increasing hostility toward democracy have all contributed to the rise of what he calls a “Trump Insurgency in the U.S.,” or TITUS. Having forewarned of divisions in America turning into fractures in our country months before the January 6 insurrection, Nance warns that the rising generational threat may rival the Islamic State or al-Qaeda, and that immediate action is necessary to address this growing unrest before it is too late.
Join us as Nance explains how such a destructive force has sprung up in our own backyard, and what can be done to quell its growth.

One disturbing thing about this to me is, I saw it coming 20 years ago and I surmised that just from what I saw in society with no real education in politics. My question is this.

[@williambarrett6527]

To begin with,, our founders chose free expression of speech, meaning the government cannot arrest or harrass you for expressing yourself, even in a hateful way. Yet, if that speech harms you in some way, you can sue the speaker in civil court. That's in the first amendment,, making the principle almost impossible to change. The second amendment is now being interpreted by the NRA and several states as legal open carry of any deadly weapon. So, the combination of these two basic rights could be interpreted as.a legal right to shoot anyone who disagrees with my hate speech. Such hated people are often Liberals...for no reason other than we Liberals also support the Constitution, but in a far more humane empathetic way. That appears to be the attitude of too many Trump fans. I think of your question this way.

Unfortunately, the article should have been released prior to October/November. How anyone could have voted for tp is 🤯but the article nailed it. It was originally set to interview both candidates but tp said no and after a brief time HRC decided not to be interviewed. I remember (I can't find my copy) the article had points from people who cobbled together statements made over the years by both tp & HRC and gave a summary of what to expect from the presidency of each of them. I almost did not read it since it was past the election, SO glad I did! I never skip articles. One point I remember how tp was obsessed with nukes back when Pres. Reagan was in office. & you have to give HRC something to work on because she is a worker, she has to try and fix things

Obama won and CAVED to the 1% after he won, despite the fact that we would finally feel HOPE & CHANGE but got a TINY TASTE of it! Bernie Sanders, we watched what they did to him!

Malcolm Nance is an amazing man and probably the most knowledgeable on this topic among many others. I like how he analyzed the nuclear threat but I will add one thing that I heard a retired general say which was the following: If Putin released a nuclear bomb on Ukraine, there would be literally blowback all the way to Moscow because that's how the wind travels. There would also be literal blow back into Poland and hence NATO would be invoked because that would be an attack on a NATO member. SO it is absolutely impossible for him to do it without these two very deleterious things occurring-- one being the destruction of his own people in their own country and the other resulting in an attack on Poland which finally brings in NATO which has been built up on the border over this last year. To me this was the most concise and clear analysis of the situation because it's simple fact. In America we are so isolated that we forget that European countries all border each other and anything that happens in one country will affect another country, especially something such as nuclear fallout which travels in the air and on the Wind and knows no borders. IN contrast, of course America could drop a bomb with NO physical effect on its own people.
