The case against Proud Boy Ethan Nordean includes this gem of a quote:
34. On November 27, 2020, NORDEAN posted on social media “We tried playing nice and by the rules, now you will deal with the monster you created. The spirit of 1776 has resurfaced and has created groups like the Proudboys and we will not be extinguished. We will grow like the flame that fuels us and spread like love that guides us. We are unstoppable, unrelenting and now … unforgiving. Good luck to all you traitors of this country we so deeply love … you’re going to need it.”
We tried playing … by the rules. That’s the tipping point, the point where this guy is admitting that he needs power above any loyalty to the United States and how it works. He didn’t win, and therefore he’ll go around rioting and killing people.
I’ll tell you, folks, this is the Revolution of the Five Year Olds.
