MAGA is just United Russia with a different supreme leader. The end-game is the same - a vaguely lipservice-Christian[1] autocracy.

When they tell you of all the insane shit they want, believe them. They are an existential threat to the republic, because they don't place any value any of the immutable principles of the republic, and will sell all of them up the river to see their guy win.

[1] Their actual behavior is incredibly un-Christ-like.

They're fast tracking.

I hope they don't start a youth movement like the scouts and name it after their leader.

Doesn't have the same ring to it in English.
Didnt Kirks org already do this, to an extent?
You’re gonna want to look at today’s news out of the Boy Scouts.

Short version: the US military provides some funding to the scouts. Hegseth threatened that funding to push the scouts to roll back LGBT-friendly policies, and they’ve caved. Along with that, other changes include waiving fees for children of members of the military, dropping a citizenship merit badge, and adding a military merit badge.

They don’t appear to be planning a new organization, they’ll just co-opt the BSA.

Where is a safe place to go for this
Safety is an illusion.

Build up yourself

ICE Scouts? :)
The Trumpets?
Almost anti-Christ like, wouldn't you say?
