People should understand that Trump holding his 2024 campaign opening rally at Waco, Texas isn’t about the Branch Davidians cult or David Koresh. It is because the Waco standoff holds a mythological status in the far-right white supremacist imaginary as a call to arms for militarized anti-government resistance.

For the interested and concerned reader, I highly recommend Kathleen Belew’s book "Bring the War Home: The White Power Movement and Paramilitary America.”
