Trump is strong, nothing can stop him! Except all these things that can, constantly, at every turn, which I'll blame all his failings on.
If Trump can't overcome the ex-president then he must not be very strong at all.

State of fear by Michael Crichton, of Jurassic Park fame. The plot is global warming is made up by murderous (possibly suicidal) eco-terrorists, that drive Prius's and use super exotic blowfish to kill instead of guns, so that people will give them money to fight global warming. Also: Hollywood types are hypocrites for using airplanes, petrified forests prove logging is good, cannibal tribes, and made up sonic digging equipment that can make earthquakes that cause tidal waves.

I cannot overstate the pettiness and stupidity of it all.

The absolute classic would be The Turner Diaries, which was basically the template for the OKC bombing as well as several other white-power terror attacks. The same author also wrote Hunter, where the protagonist stalks the streets killing inter-racial couples and Jews, and I think that book is explicitly tied to a few actual murders.

If you have Archives on SA, TFR did some great mocking Let's Reads of masturbatory gun-fic (with varying degrees of white nationalism) about plucky Patriot insurgents fighting the evil US government.

-- Unintended Consequences is less racist, more just terrible for being over-wrought and cringe-worthy sex scenes. Basically the heroes assassinate politicians, ATF agents, etc to restore Freedom
-- the Enemies Foreign and Domestic trilogy (written by a Freep member) starts off less-racial in its first book, which is pretty similar to UI in concept, and then the second books gets crazy-paranoid about La Raza and the third book is about hordes of feral blacks rampaging across America.

Of these LRs, I like the EF&D ones best, though the first book is less insane. TFR regular Pitch narrated all of these, leading to his for a while having a redtext "PITCH READ FOR OUR SINS". I'm phone posting but if anyone can post the Archive links it'd be groovy, and the LRs are funnier and more efficient than reading the books directly.

EDIT: here's the EF&D sum-up thread with links to the full threads in the OP: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3506161%26userid=0%26perpage=40%26pagenumber=11

EDIT2: if you want more crazy for your time, you're fine to skip ahead to the second EF&D book, you can basically extrapolate the plot of the first one, like in any terrible sequel.

The right leaning New York Post, Townhall, and left leaning Nation editor and publisher, Katrina vanden Heuvel, writing in the Washington Post, have something in common. They all compare the senate Democrats’ obsession with Russians to McCarthyism of 50 years ago. Are you now or have you ever been a member of the Communist Party?

It’s fitting and proper that a comedian got the ball rolling for the Jeff Sessions act in this Russian circus. Senator Al Franken based a question to Senator Sessions on a bogus story in Buzzfeed about a Russian dossier on Donald Trump. It claims Trump hired prostitutes to pee on a bed Barack and Michelle had slept on in a Russian hotel.

Franken asked the senator what he would do if there’s any evidence of contact with Russians in the course of the Trump campaign. Sessions replied, “Senator Franken, I’m not aware of any of those activities. I have been called a surrogate at a time or two in that campaign and I didn’t have — did not have communications with the Russians, and I’m unable to comment on it.” You can role the tape here on Politifact.

Then, as night follows day, two meetings with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak surfaced. One was in Sessions’ senate office. The other was a group introduction at the RNC in Cleveland. Senator Sessions says those meetings were in the course of his role as a senator and didn’t involve the Trump campaign.

Senator Claire McCaskill insisted that sort of thing just isn’t done. But her twitter account says otherwise.

Timothy McVeigh is actually quoted on Wikipedia as saying that the Turner Diaries was his bible, but Unintended Consequences was his "new testament", and that if it had been published a few years earlier he would have given serious thought to using its plan of widespread assassination of government employees instead of Turner's dramatic bombing. And a lot of the politicians brutally tortured and murdered are thin pseudonyms for real people ranging from then-Governor of Missouri on up to Janet Reno.

And of course the crowning achievement of that thread, author John Ross himself registering an account to post about it and mailing Tenement Funster a check for $500.
