This is a fictional piece. This will have elements of real life, however, the main conflict of the story is purely fictional, and does not mean to reference any person or group similar to the antagonists.
A German man, Richtofen Schwartz, one day logs into Twitter—or X, as Elon likes to call it. He seemed like a regular old conservative schmo, spewing racist, antisemitic, Nazi bullshit that any dumb old man would.
Schwartz, however, wasn’t dumb.
Schwartz knew how to get into peoples’ brains, make them mad. The more people who get angry with him, the more people are on his side.
It’s not hard to brainwash people who don’t already have a lot in their brain to begin with, and when a good thirty percent of Americans are as dumb as a potato, it’s pretty easy to grow a following.
The funny thing about Americans: They’re dumb, and armed.
When you get a bunch of stupid people with guns, you can get them to do some pretty drastic damage at your command. Any terrorist organization is a good example of that. It’s even better when the people you’re trying to make killers already want to kill a bunch of people because the country you’re targeting is already so politically and ideologically divided.
Apparently, there have been efforts to silence the guy, even arrest him for hate speech, but nobody could ever really narrow down a solid location on him. He was always on the move. Occasionally, law enforcement would get a tip from someone talking about finding the guy, but whenever police went out looking for him, they'd be intercepted by people trying to defend him. Too many officers died looking for Schwartz, no thanks to our own people. By the time police could get back to making any progress, Schwartz was gone.
That's also how we realized that this is going to be a bigger issue than we would have imagined. Granted, everyone knows that there are a shit ton of assholes in this country. It's better they be separated, though, because it's tougher to take on a mob them. However, it seems that Schwartz likes to walk around and get people to join a group of like-minded bastards that follow him, making it much more difficult to actually get to the heart of the problem. Not to mention that it seems to be spanning out to multiple countries outside of the U.S.. Canada, England, Portugal, Italy, Russia, you name it - it's the same shit, likely from people that Schwartz had managed to get in his little circle from over here and they ended up spreading out to the rest of the world.
God, these people are relentless.
Thus bringing me to this point. By now, anyone can see that if this country wasn't already enough of a shithole, then it is a pretty big shithole now. Peoples' homes are being broken into, children are being abducted, women raped, men tested to see whether or not they should be killed. It's like if the Purge was called in; it's a fucking mess out there.
Finally, we were called to get this shit settled, 'cause if not anyone else, then it's got to be us, and trust me, we're going to get this shit settled one way or another.

Let's do this shit.
Okay, I am no author, or storyteller at all, but I thought I'd put this one here to see how y'all think of it. It's merely concept right now, and I have doubts I'm even going to work on it too much - It's not really what I'd consider a "passion project", anyway, but if y'all like it enough, then I guess I can try to work on it.
I might put more stuff like this on here, just to see which of them stick to the wall.
Thanks for reading!
