So yesterday the news came out that a militia group plotted to kidnap Governor Whitmer of Michigan. This was spun as “right wing domestic terrorism,” which I also bought into. But *of* *course,* that first reaction, as it so often does, turned out to be… well, perhaps not right:

Perps charged in Gretchen Whitmer kidnap plot are anarchists who hate police and Trump…

The available evidence, in the form of videos posted online by a couple of those arrested, is that they are stock-standard *anarchists.* This generally falls more in line with the left than the right. They – extrapolating from a limited selection of self-made videos – hate cops *and* they hate Trump, seeing him as a tyrant. Other members of this pack of geniuses indicate more conventionally “alt-right” or “boogaloo” views. To have such disparate views mashed together into one group is bizarre, to say the least
