Good Lord. The guys sounds 100% MAGA with blond family to boot. Christian nationalists should be giving him a helping hand.

It almost looks like a case of friendly fire by detaining this white hunter, anti-vaccine mandates, Mississippi resident. It's almost too deliberate holding him for a month in facility that has rodent feces issues when he was about to get his papers. No criminal history and wife with high risk pregnancy. I'm sure Fox isn't going to talk about this one.

What's the bet this guy is an antifascist, or has at least expressed anti-MAGA/Trump sentiment publicly?

Incorrect. Try reading the article before commenting.

I did. I just stopped at the go fund me sentence. I only bothered reading the article as they look like evangelicals in every photo.

She said she homeschools their children and that they raise animals on a ranch. His Facebook page suggests he also has an affinity for hunting and Mississippi State University football, and opposed vaccine mandates in 2021.

So... What's the bet this guy is freed rapidly, now that the evangelical MAGAzi's have made headlines?

You are correct. I like how those most-relevant facts — considering christian fascist dictatorship — are buried towards the end of the article; that makes this an anomaly, and a case of incompetence in a sea of calculated racism.
