Nikita Casap, 17, allegedly killed his parents to "obtain the financial means and autonomy necessary" to kill President Donald Trump and overthrow the U.S. government.
From what I understand, much of American nazi ideology revolves around accelerationism towards an all-out genocidal race war. If their white savior figure were to be martyred it could further radicalize the right towards that end. Keep in mind the last attempt on Trumps life was by a right-winger and that only galvanized his followers. They aren’t angry with Trump, they’re just insane bigots that will go to any lengths to promote genocide.
I mean, didn’t Trump renege on some tariffs and back off on some other things while trying to hide the recensions by either distracting the public or just blaming the democrats.
The kid likely is in the mindset that any bit of ‘give’ shows weakness.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation reviewed documents allegedly written by the teen, which calls for the assassination of Trump and the start of a revolution to “save the white race,” according to federal court documents.
My guess is that the plan was to frame “the left” for the assassination and trigger a race war. These nuts are so itching for a fight that they believe that the entire country is on the verge of neighbors fighting neighbors, and they just need to push it over the edge.
Not going to lie. I had a bit of a start at first before I read the article wondering if that were the case. Which I think is exactly why the media framed it the way they did. A lot of people will only see the headlines.
As nutty as trump’s supporters are. It’s truly terrifying that there are still plenty out there that feel he hasn’t gone far enough.
i’m trying to understand in what world a nazi would be angry with trumps actions.

e.g. the Reichstag fire where Nazis burned down their own parliament to frame their enemies.
