'Homegrown insurgency': General McChrystal compares MAGA rioters to Al-Qaeda - saying they also followed a 'powerful leader' - and claims that 'Stop the Steal' is a rallying cry like the Lost Cause was after the Civil War

Retired Army General Stanley McChrystal has compared the MAGA riot to the evolution of Al-Qaeda saying in both instances people followed a 'powerful leader' who 'justified their violence', as he warned America is headed for a homegrown insurgency.

McChrystal, the former commander of American troops in Afghanistan, said there are terrifying parallels between the birth of the terrorist group responsible for the September 11 terrorist attacks and the violent siege on the US Capitol last week that left five dead and sent shockwaves around the world.

Donald Trump has given his supporters 'legitimacy to become even more radical', he told Yahoo News, with his Stop the Steal rhetoric now a radical rallying cry similar to the Lost Cause adopted by the Southerners in the American Civil War.

McChrystal, who was fired by President Barack Obama after he made disparaging remarks about him and then-Vice President Joe Biden, warned that now 'the fabric of something very dangerous has been woven', the consequences will continue long after Trump leaves office.

'the fabric of something very dangerous has been woven'

Oh yes!!! Something very dangerous has in fact been woven general. It's called fraud! It's called denial of free speech!! It's called liberal lawlessness! It's called a stolen election. It's probably something that you wouldn't understand from your elevated position. But we little people, all 75 million of us, see exactly what has been woven.

Al Qaeda and Confederate? You left off Nazi. How can you leave off Nazi? You might as well not show up at all if you aren't going to call me a Nazi for wanting honest elections.

Trump should strip him of his pension before he leaves office for speaking ill of the commander-in-chief.

If I recall correctly, it wasn’t the remarks about Biden that got McChrystal fired so much as the possibility / rumor that McChrystan was considering a run for president.

.....General Stanley McChrystal is a certified military brass swamp creature deep in the bowels of the military-industrial complex. His specific business ventures are disturbing, even by swamp standards. According to a Fox News report, General McChrystal was involved in a venture that aimed to redeploy information warfare tools–originally designed to combat ISIS–against Trump supporters: An anti-Trump Democratic-aligned political action committee advised by retired Army Gen. Stanley McChrystal is planning to deploy an information warfare tool that reportedly received initial funding from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the Pentagon’s secretive research arm — transforming technology originally envisioned as a...

I think of General McChrystal being like George Armstrong Custer at the Battle of the Little Bighorn... he's ill informed and overconfident based on his stupidly and arrogance.

McKrystal can’t stop trashing the wrong people. Not a good life choice.

I used to know a guy who was fond of saying, “If I’m gonna be accused anyway, I might as well be guilty!” He’d been in jail on a framed up charge.

I think a lot of conservatives are nearly at that point.

I’m not advocating, just saying.

>>And for this damned traitor to compare American patriots who protested a clearly stolen election with Al Qeida and Bin Ladin is unforgivable.<<

He’s not the only one. We have also been compared to ISIS. Everyone better get ready for what they have in store for all of us on the right.
