After anti-LGBTQ+ neo-Nazi leader Christopher Pohlhaus purchased a 10.6-acre property in Springfield, Maine with the hopes of turning it into a Nazi training ground, local residents found out about his plan and made him feel very unwelcome. He eventually sold the property, blaming “militant leftists” for the unwanted attention he earned.

Pohlhaus is founder of the fascist group “Blood Tribe,” a group that protested an Ohio drag brunch last May. His group chanted the words “Blood,” “Under the Aryan Sun,” and “No transgenders on our streets,” while throwing Nazi salutes. He also led a similar protest against a drag queen story hour in Akron, Ohio in mid-March.

    Liberals need to start listening to what these people are saying

    They’re quite vocal ATM, yes.

    Fascist militias are popping up all over the place

    And they’re not quite the fringe nut cases they used to be.

    Most of us seem to be Americans on here, and we haven’t ever had to fight, well, anything. And that includes me.

    it’s your civic responsibility

    I’ll fight for my family and my home, and the rest of you, given the chance. But I can hardly do much, self-defense is on all of us.

    I’m not brave or badass. Neither am I harmless. And “harmless” is a choice. And I’ll post this until I’m blue in the face.
