MAGA failed because it didn’t go far enough, right-wing extremists say—and following devastating midterm losses, they see an opportunity to take over.

    Far-right activist and pardoned January 6 rioter Jake Lang, however, is planning an event in DC on January 3. It is unclear how many people are planning to attend, but one of the Christian nationalist pastors listed by Lang as an official speaker has said he won’t be speaking.

    Lang, who spent last weekend disrupting a cat convention that he thought was a furry convention, did not respond to a request for comment.

    Here, kitty kitty!

      He just got pulled off a plane in Texas and arrested on an active warrant so we’ll see how that goes.

      EDIT this might be a lie I can’t find any news corroborating this.

          My “source” was a twitter video (sent by a friend who still uses twitter unfortunately) of him seemingly deplaning by himself, with the written context being what I described. Could be true and news just hasn’t caught up…or it could be footage from an old arrest (he has several), or they could just be making shit up completely.

      Imagine being at that cat convention and being so confused as to why someone is trying to disrupt it?

      Also, I don’t get why the wingers seem to be so fixated on furries. What even the fuck?

      What other hobbies will they get verklempt over next? Ham radio operators? The maker scene? People who knit?

        Also, I don’t get why the wingers seem to be so fixated on furries.

        They’re obsessed with a narrow band of approved behaviors and anything outside of that is evil. They see it as sexual deviancy and a moral stain on society, and everyone promoting it is obviously the enemy.

            Not outrageous enough, and harder to connect to children as a wild conspiracy. That’s just in the US though, the UK is busy being even more puritanical.
