What are they reforming into and were? This type of domestic terrorists don't just suddenly get educated, and find ethics, and morals.
The roaches scurry when you turn on the light, but they're still there breeding and growing in numbers. Gotta get an exterminator and actively root them out.
Per the article:
There's evidence some Proud Boys are decamping to neo-Nazi groups. I'd argue that the Proud Boys are impacted by the same forces that are causing Moms for Liberty to falter. Republicans bet big into 2022 on far-right groups, but instead, the GOP underperformed in the 2022 and 2023 elections. The backfire effect is reducing enthusiasm for this new breed of culture warriors.
Apologies for skimming, and thank you for helping me read. LOL. #selfFacePalm
Thanks for at least skimming; it's more than most people do
It's true. I usually dive into the comments to see if the article is worth my time and energy. Or see if the bot already reduced it by 70%. 😅

Hmm, yes, the floor here is made of floor.
Legal consequences hurt authoritarian movements, hence the reluctance to impose them.
Cool, how 'bout some more legal consequences?
Or, you know, the actual legal consequences defined by the law instead of slaps on the wrist for trying to overthrow the government.
As an abolitionist, I look forward to ponderous think pieces about the horrors of the prison industrial complex starting to appear in right-wing publications.
Just a reminder that the "rise" of the proud boys could not have happened as it did if it wasn't for Joe Rogan constantly defending/promoting Gavin McInnes (FOUNDER of the proud boys) & his terrorist gang (which he knew was a terrorist gang while defending it).
(& then Daniel Ek paid Rogan 200 million to do this & promote anti-vax shit on Spotify exlusively).
Anyone who denies knowing where McInness stands is a liar.
They're only consequences until Trump gets back in and pardons them all.
Or we keep the orange skid mark dude from being elected again
Aka - Prosicute criminals.
His ilk has been BODIED in every election against the softest most mild candidates. He's got no shot bro.
The hype for him has really died off and most of the sorta Trumpers moved away. He's done and the Republicans are too. They will rebrand the next few elections and try to find a new strategy to continue. Lindsey Graham knew what he was talking about when he said his infamous quote
He's currently the leading R candidate. Barring a miracle, he'll get nominated. Any sort of complacency by the electorate will lead to him getting in again.
Polls say he's neck and neck with Biden right now. I didn't think he had a shot in 16, then he won. It's way too early to call this. Fight until the last minute.
Polls by whom, asking who, with what methodology? If it's cold-calling people to ask them who they will vote for you can bet that nobody under 60 is answering.
I hope you're right. It was damn near 50/50 in 2020 though, I see no reason to expect different now. The people turned off by trumps legal issues already weren't voting for him.
The very same Lindsey Graham that was flat on his flaccid yellow belly, licking as much maga boot as he could fit into his purty little mouth?
What's the infamous quote?
Not the one you're asking, but they probably mean this one from Twitter.
If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed.......and we will deserve it. - 5:03 PM · May 3, 2016
Thank you!
Scum needs to be cleaned and washed down the drain.
"First they came for the Proud Boys, and I did not speak out, because fuck 'em."
I wonder... Is there an commentary increase in the population of white supremacists in US prisons?
