Did you see the pro-Proud Boys op-ed…penned by a Proud Boy's wife? It’s just the latest sign, @mehdirhasan says, that the Proud Boys “have basically fused their campaigns with whatever the GOP moral-panic talking point of the day is,” even as we learn more about their 1/6 role:

Scary that PB are gaining political power when Canada and New Zealand has designated them as a terrorist group. Isn't committing political violence the definition of terrorism?

Normalizing fascist/racist behavior is the first step. History books will teach about this era in American politics and ask the question: Did we do enough back then to stop it?

They’re officially recognized as a terrorist group by the gov’t of Canada. Why do we listen to any Proud Boys here? It’s freedom of speech, not freedom to be heard. My mom taught me that early: you have the right to speak but you can’t make anyone listen.

I think, Mehdi, with respect, the Proud Boys moving into GOP positions is not occurring from the PB side. It is because a fascist party NEEDS its blackshirts. What exactly are all the marches in the center of Boston, etc. about? Rome, 1922

Proud Boys were just ppl who showed up to fight back to Antifa pulling ppl out of cars and beating them unconscious. Remember, Mehdi supports genuine insurrections like the intifadas, which made J6 look an absolute joke. Mehdi is 100x more extreme than any Proud Boy.
