This is what the biased media does, when things don't go their way - change the subject. In this case find a tiny fringe and blow what they say out of proportion.

What bothers me is why so many people still do not see that. Think people, think with your own mind. The true subject is the debacle of Afghanistan, not what a fringe think about the Taliban.

Why does everyone think Trump voters are racist??
So you've got one stand with 6 hats pictured. And this is your dispositive evidence? No way to know if it's photoshopped, either. Just how gullible are you?

I provided evidence of my statement. If you disagree, provide evidence of yours.

I will grant you that not all Republicans are white supremacists. It’s just that all white supremacists are Republicans.

Why did you put Republicans in your thread title ?
Because the Republican party is where you find the white supremacist and anti-government extremists. There are groups you just typically associate with the GOP and some with the Democrats:

White supremacist - Republicans
Anti-government extremists - Republicans
Gun nuts - Republicans
Confederate flag waivers - Republicans
Anti-vaxxers - Republicans
Flat earthers - Republicans
Anti-masks - Republicans
Chem trail believers - Republicans
QAnon - Republicans
Fascist - Republicans
NRA - Republicans


Tree hugger - Democrats
Anti-fascists - Democrats
BLM - Democrats
Professors - Democrats
Musicians - Democrats
Writers - Democrats
Hollywood - Democrats
Silicon Valley - Democrats

The article in the OP was long on rhetoric and short on facts.

Amidst the numerous words, here's the actual evidence to support the claim.

For example, a quote taken from the Proud Boy to Fascist Pipeline Telegram channel, said: "These farmers and minimally trained men fought to take back their nation back from globohomo. They took back their government, installed their national religion as law, and executed dissenters ... If white men in the west had the same courage as the Taliban, we would not be ruled by Jews currently," SITE found.


That's it.

The Proud Boy to Fascist Pipeline Telegram channel?? Seriously?? Yeah, real mainstream there... if it's even real.
