In reply to the discussion: Republicans Seek to End the U.S. Postal Service [View all]freshwest
(53,661 posts)14. Baggers believe that postal employees are making secret markers on their rural mailboxes so that the
Patriots are identified to be picked up and sent to the FEMA death camps on the day specified by Obama. I am not kidding. This has been n the wingnut rumor mill for years.
Same reason they want to get rid of all public schools. They call them Indoctrination Centers to make everyone gay and communist.
And they vote against fire and police because they are part of the UN, etc. Police State we're all hurdling toward.
All public workers are like the East German Stasi and compiling data to come and get them.
The list goes on and on.
Yes, there are people who want the Post Office gone and will vote for those who'd destroy it.
Some can afford the outrageous prices of the private companies.
Others fancy themselves to the John Connor guy in Terminator and must eliminate any public record since 'they' are coming to get 'em.
I could give links or names, but anyone who has checked these guys out for a few years knows 'em.
IOW, you just saw the tip of the iceberg. And it's a cult that has specific dog whistles.
