    “We have (and still do) traveled across our country standing up for our constitution, and have met most of you face to face. There’s no time like the present to come together and organize our states, to build them stronger with true patriots (not people pretending to be Patriots and using groups for dating sites),” Demere wrote in a post last year.

      Isn’t this almost exactly how a number of these dudes got catfished by girls who immediately reported them to the FBI? Lmao
