Are far-right groups taking over small-town America?
Are far-right groups taking over small-town America?
ABC News speaks with Sasha Abramsky, author of "Chaos Comes Calling," as he investigates growing extremism in the U.S.
Taking?
Here in Oregon, militia groups have been a problem in small rural towns since the 80s.
80s?
Southern Washington and the majority of Oregon were hot spots for white supremacist "utopia" migration dating back to before the Civil Rights movement.
As a white dude, it's fucking scary visiting some of those small towns in both states. My wife will even suggest not going to areas due research she's done to verify that were not stepping into a social trap.
I was coming back from Eastern Oregon and stopped for lunch in Umatilla:

Bar food, fine, enough to get back on the road. Hit the mens room on the way out.
I shit you not, white power graffiti all over the bathroom. 1" from the floor to 1" from the ceiling.
That's not an accident.
Bruh there's like weirdo secret fighting/fitness/combat groups specifically for right wing white folks popping up where I live and it's so bizarre. Literally none of them are run by anyone who's fighting fit and they're basically a glorified social club for people who just want to be crazy bigoted while feeling like they're part of some master plan.
Anybody read the book from this article? Wondering how it is.

I believe it depends on what exactly you define as far-right..
You guys do realize that the left moved farther left, and the right is just lagging behind. That's about it.
We can’t realize because it is objectively untrue. Like, the right just keeps moving right and has been doing so for many decades. They’re not just lagging behind but actively doing as much as they can to obstruct progress and even undoing as much of it as they possibly can. It’s pushed even the very idea of “the left” towards the middle so when you get someone even slightly left who hasn’t changed their views at all speaking up people think they’re “moving further left”.
Again, there’s nothing there to realize because you comment is just completely and easily fact-checked to be wrong.
I wish the left was as far left as it used to be. Roosevelt or even LBJ would be a welcome shift from the corporate Democratic party that Clinton thought he needed to counter Reaganism.
What left? All the US has in its major parties is center-right or far-right.
Cool! So tell me: who in the American "left" are advocating for the abolishment of private property and armed uprisings against the ownership class? You know, the things a real leftist would advocate for?
Go on mate, pull the other one!
Left coast is best coast.
Let me know when the "left" tries to take away women's bodily autonomy, significantly weakens unions, makes child marriage OK, makes child labor in dangerous conditions legal, or tries to overthrow the government. Last time I checked, only conservatives supported all of the above.
The woke hype..
