White supremacists are forming fitness clubs around the nation where they recruit impressionable young men into their racist causes, including using working out to prepare for their expected imminent race war, Business Insider reports. The groups, known as “active clubs,” are organized using Telegram channels where the members frequently espouse their beliefs against pretty much everything: homophobic, misogynistic, xenophobic, racist and anti-Semitic.
One of their frequent targets may seem unlikely: the Obese Orange himself, Donald Trump. Memes and gifs shared by the clubs’ members mock Trump’s obesity and his claims of physical prowess. According to people who monitor the groups, they’ve “long since turned on Trump,” seeing him as a puppet of the pro-Israel/pro-Jew controlling class.
They don’t stop at Trump, either; they attack his followers. On one channel for a Texas-based “active club,” a user posted a clip showing photos of overweight, handicapped and non-white people wearing MAGA gear, calling them “average conservatives.” It was followed by shots of fit white men exercising and sparring, claiming those were “average nationalists.”
