Oath Keepers and Proud Boys were like little kids living out a fantasy.

42. Living in a very rightwing area left me with the feeling that the far right started snowballing

with the election of Obama.

I think that the biggest problem is racially oriented. How dare they force a black President on us. "The country is coming to an end,and only we can save it." The hate for Obama and his supporters was a great recruiting tool for losers that need someone to blame for their economic and social failures. A lot of these types still grieve over the loss of the "War of Northern Aggression." And would like to overturn the results and return to a world where being White made you, legally, superior to all others. Skin color nobility.

It is all ignorance based hatred. Ignorance is what sustains the Republican Party and that is why Republican leaders, like DeSatan are doing everything in their power to destroy public education. Teach them to hate young, and you own them for life.
