After Jan. 6, Investigating the Contours of a “Broad Fascist Movement” in the U.S.

[Guno צְבִי]

After a pro-Trump mob stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, as lawmakers were certifying the Electoral College vote for Joe Biden, members of the Proud Boys, the Oath Keepers, the Boogaloo movement and other groups with extremist ideologies were identified as among those present. Videos reveal the presence of several noted hardcore nativists and white nationalists who had also attended the deadly 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.

In the aftermath of the January assault on the U.S. Capitol, the documentary continues FRONTLINE and ProPublica’s years of reporting on violent right-wing extremism in America, including Documenting Hate: Charlottesville and Documenting Hate: New American Nazis. The new film examines how far-right groups were emboldened and encouraged by former President Donald Trump, how individuals were radicalized and brought into the political landscape, how they have organized and what form these violent energies may take next.

It's good to know none of these people are Christians. Because we all know 'Jesus is LOVE'.

It was sedition and it was an insurrection and rightys are proud of it. They are happy to work for Putin and the destruction of America.

Looks like it.

So, somehow a relative handful of radical Right-wingers numbering in maybe a few thousand at most are somehow the major political driving force in the nation...

You'd have to either be an oblivious moron or a disingenuous liar bent on producing a false narrative to believe that.

GOP attacked Cheney for stating the truth that Biden won the election.

So? What the hell does that have to do with the radical Right having miniscule numbers, no political power, and being basically a bunch of knuckleheads?

Oh, agree.

When pressed to condemn white supremacists, Trump asked for the name of a specific group.

Biden said "Proud Boys," a group that the Southern Poverty Law Center, a liberal advocacy organization, has designated as a hate group.

Trump responded, ​"Proud Boys – stand back and stand by".
