Are they unaware that the migrants that they'll be trying to stop are also overwhelmingly Christian?

Yes but they're brown, which means Jesus doesn't like them as much.
Jesus loves them very much. American Jesus is fixin' ta pop a cap in them.
Side note - if you zoom in on that rifle and how he’s holding it, it’s amusingly cursed
This may be part of the point
Nah, AI has terrible gun handling skills.
Better then Americans.
You know I did read that somewhere in a bible recently.
They're Catholic, so that doesn't count
Classic Christianity, we love everyone but also the crusades, graves full of Indian children, probably countless Muslims, Hindus, etc. super cool logic, definitely not divine self-realization poisoned by pride, greed, etc. ironic tho!
So they are "God's army" but Blessed are the Peacemakers. I wonder how many will be carrying guns?
Jesus was pro second amendment because he was a Christian. /s
And hated brown people like any good Christian.
What kind of gun would Jesus use?
Nail gun
He has hands on experience
It would probably be easier to count how many people don't have guns.
Carrying Colt M1873 Peacemakers
I think the question is what the average number of guns per member of gawd's awmeee is...these people are nothing without their emotional support firearms.
White male convoy brought to you by Fox “nEwS” and puppet master Putin
Yes... but the use of "globalist" makes me think Alex Jones is involved heavily too... gods I hate all this stupidity... I shall openly mock any I may come across.
This is the stupidest timeline
The last "Army of God" were slaughtered in their sleep. There's always hope history will repeat.
(((globalists)))
Angry ignorant fascists with guns and a cheap Hitler knockoff. Yay.
God I fuckin hate Christians
So would God, if there were one.
I kinda wish this was happening in August, when Meal Team Six would walk outside, feel the 100 degree heat and/or humidity, and nope the fuck out.
Too hot for all their tacti-cool gear.
"When people believe that they are working on behalf of God, they might be willing to resort to relatively extreme measures,”
Ask the Cathars about "armies of God"
It's worth reading the article to see what the supporters of this convoy have to say, following the quote above. Hopefully these lunatics stick to peaceful protesting but even that makes a tense situation worse. This dispute needs no more powder or matches right now.
Hopefully it all blows over but I fear historians may point to this as marking a notable shift in the power struggle between (red) states and the federal government. If states whose political leadership opposes federal leadership successfully gain power through extra legal means, it seems to me that introduced some big cracks into the foundation of the union.
Well, last time this happened, things got worse really fast. Still the most deadly war in US history
These convoys should be treated like terrorist groups.
Christofascists are not a threat I saw coming growing up in the 90s
I mean, Frank Zappa saw in the 80's as a very real outcome.
I'm actually more amazed that this doesn't happen more often. Christo fascist have been a real thing for a long, long time.
True soldiers of God would fly to Israel to die in the desert.
I'm only following this story to see how hard it falls flat. I'm guessing between 50-100 cars total.
The amount of weaponry and jihadis 50-100 cars can carry isn't trivial.
It'll be a far cry from the 700,000 one guy is estimating (guessing).
Also, I'm waiting for one of these rocket surgeons to grumble about the cost of fuel.
Could you imagine if this Jesus person was real? He'd probably be livid at the blatant misrepresentation that people like this are displaying.
Biden: "Let's back down from this for a second. See how Abbot's forces will handle hundreds of patriots trying to gain access to a place he just recently said he would shoot federal employees if they tried to get access to. With any luck, there will be a massacre and we will use it to justify fedralizing the national guard."
If Biden were tonnage just federalized the national guard and sent them home already they wouldn't have time to arrive. He shouldn't let Texas get away with this
