Since the "Rod of Iron Ministries" (an offshoot from the Unification Church) was founded in 2017, its grown, established fringe political alliances, and incorporated in at least 2 more states.
It's also become more extreme. And, church leaders were at the Capitol on January 6.
Recently one member of the Rod of Iron Ministries, aka Sanctuary Church, was arrested for allegedly attacking an MTA vehicle, and had a "kill list' in his car.
He's facing federal charges. Ex-church members say that incident should be a warning for whats to come.

Texans after the Waco siege: "That was horrible. Let's do it again!"
In the medium term, Waco is probably the best thing that's happened to the fringe right.
There were like 20 kids there
I'm not happy it happened on any level.
So Waco was good for the fringe right?
For the people not there yeah, it validated the right's feeling of persecution by the government. And the resulting public backlash deterred the government from further crackdowns on far right groups (along with Ruby Ridge)
Ah you are right
"We've had one, yes, but what about Second Waco?"
It's worse than Texans, it's an offshoot of the Moonies who're trying to expand into Texas lmao.
