How Trump Unleashed a Domestic Terrorism Movement—And What Experts Say Must Be Done to Defeat It – Mother Jones

Trump did more than just invite supporters to a rally. He also repeatedly shared a slickly produced video, titled "The Plot to Steal America," that warned ominously of a Chinese communist scheme involving Biden, the Democrats, and the news media, and called for Trump supporters to mobilize. "We know that our rights don't come from the government, but from God," declared the narrator, an Ohio jewelry buyer formerly employed by the pro-Trump propaganda outlet the Epoch Times.
