Nope. Proud Boys are the brown shirts. Non-governmental paramilitary fighters.

FBI was an actual law enforcement organization, but has been gutted.

The CIA isn't a boogie man inside the US. They've fucked up enough times that very few people respect them. Also they don't really do domestic spying.

No, the NSA is the one who does domestic spying.

And finally ICE, an agency that is 100% filled with diehard Trump supporters. They're already abducting innocent people off the street and vanishing them. Masked thugs working for the state vanishing people without warrants is sort of the basic definition of secret police.

Proud boys aren't a paramilitary, you're thinking of the regular cops.

FBI was an actual law enforcement organization, but has been gutted.

Lol

The CIA isn’t a boogie man inside the US.

Lol

I'll give you that I forgot to include the NSA among your secret police apparatus though.

Masked thugs working for the state vanishing people without warrants is sort of the basic definition of secret police.

All of them are masked! Even your cops are masked thugs who kill and disappear people without warrants. They have black sites!
