Kyle Serafin describes the FBI's mission as "mass trolling" to collect political and corporate knowledge, comparing it to J. Edgar Hoover's historical tactics. He discusses how the agency uses specific language to target groups, such as "radical traditionalist Catholics," defined by their views on abortion, the border, and gender theory. Serafin argues that these designations are used as a "pry bar" to eventually target all conservatives.

Serafin references Trevor Aronson's "The Terror Factory" to describe how the FBI manufactures plots. He recounts his time in New Mexico, where he was ordered to look for "spies and terrorists" in rural areas instead of focusing on cartels. He characterizes many FBI employees as "ideological actors" who were visibly upset by the acquittal of Kyle Rittenhouse.
