Here's some militia recruitment on TikTok.

These people are absolutely convinced that "hiring more IRS agents" means they're going to come to Trump supporters' homes and take their guns.

This is a whole thread of it. They're raring for a fight.

Unsurprisingly, they’re still using tiktok as a recruiting tool /4

On the far-right, "more IRS" agents doesn't mean more audits of people making more than $400,000, which is what it actually is.

They're expecting doorknock raids for guns at any moment. Not an exaggeration. It's Jade Helm 2.0.
