Extremism from both parties is on the rise. It's like the whole point is to be reactionary, to be so contrarian it boggles the mind.

I am trying to figure out where this extremism in Florida is coming from. The Florida man stories, I'm over that. However, the political extremism, it's going to ruin things. Same thing with California.

Show us some footage please. I've heard all about these "Proud Boys" for a long time now.

Let's see some arson, killing, lynching....anything?

Surely in today's day and age, there's tons of camera phone footage of them wreaking havoc all over the country.

Could you provide it? Also maybe provide a manifesto to explain to us lay people about who they are and what their mission is.

Thanks.

The school board has no business getting political by calling out the “Proud Boys” of which some of their kids parents may be members. Stay in your lane, math, science, language.

I dislike any group that commits political violence, burns down innocent peoples' businesses, takes "autonomous zones" and shoots people who try to enter, loots or steals other peoples' property, murders people, throws molotov cocktails, etc. etc. etc.

Problem is, THERE'S NO FOOTAGE OF THE "PROUD BOYS" DOING THAT!

There is, however, miles of footage of BLM/Antifa doing that.

I'll condemn the hell out of "Proud Boys" who do this. JUST SHOW ME AN EXAMPLE!

Instead call out someone for supporting a legal and highly lauded nonprofit that has helped millions of women around the world for many generations- planned parenthood. The ultimate betrayal of someone who serves on a school board- how dare they be so bold (sarcasm). They might even contribute to the aclu - heaven forbid.

Y'all have a TV, or internet access?

Tune in today, Tuesday, July 12 at 1 pm EST and you will get your fill of Proud Boys (and other extreme right groups).

That should satisfy your need to learn about a group who would burn our Nation to the ground so it could be "better".

I know there was some documentary about " The rise of White Supremacy" awhile ago. Is this a re-run? Or do they get the privilege of a brand new one?

Where are the NBC specials about the riots and antifa? Fair and balanced, yo.

Are you speaking metaphorically? Because we had 'other' groups literally Burning streets and businesses so it could be 'worse'. Like,..a lot of those.

No, a white nationalist is a white nationalist.

We don't claim everyone in the GOP is a white nationalist the way righties claim every Democrat is fist-pumping with "Antifa."
