The Proud Boys are good citizens in the same way the KKK or Citizens Councils are (now Council of Conservative Citizens). The same goes for The Oath Keepers and probably the 3%ers too.

It's not like Canada and New Zealand are Russia, China, Iran, etc.. When nations like Canada and New Zealand deem an American organization with a track record of xenophobia ("West is Best!") backed up with violence as a terror organization - America would be wise to treat their claims seriously, and wonder if we ought to follow those two nations' leads.
I don't even know who proud boys are. except for the occasional Fed who goes "undercover" (yeah right). Gotta love the emotion whipped up for a bunch of guys who stand around in khakis.
My home state but also one I would never live in again. I am a life long conservative but also a moderate who is willing to listen to all sides. Florida has lost touch with reality every bit as much as California has. The Florida Man stories keep coming and the politicians continue to create such incredible blunders to the point they embarrass their party (both sides) and bring disgrace to the state. I feel for the remaining family members that still live there.
I don't recall the BLM movement storming our Capital. Perhaps i am misremembering, but i think i have the correct group.
The first definition of "Proud Boys which comes up when i do a search, is:
The Proud Boys is an American far-right, neo-fascist, and exclusively male organization that promotes and engages in political violence in the United States.
These are the guys (men only per organization rules) whose leader i think is still in jail for seditionism against the US. Many of his followers have been, or will be, subject to attacking or subverting our freedoms. By my book, that is an attempt to overthrow our Democratic Government.
Americans have a constitutional right to protest the government.
They DON'T have a constitutional right to Burn-Loot-Murder for MONTHS, destroying businesses and killing people who had NOTHING to do with the death of George Floyd. (What they were supposedly"protesting").
When people laud BLM it's because black lives do matter.
I don't see people lauding the violence, which could be anybody, but which conservatives automatically decide are BLM, Antifa or both.
Antifa could be more likely, in cases where it is proven any were actually there. They're extremists, like Proud Boys. But when people just throw out there that any violence with black people in the vicinity HAD to be BLM, Antifa or both, it loses its punch after a while. I think conservatives have overplayed that hand.
If BLM really thinks that black lives matter..... they have a funny way of showing it.
Considering that most of the communities that they destroyed and innocent lives they took were minorities.
Killing your own people is kind of an odd way to protest them being killed..... don't you think?

Then you missed Trump's statement in the debate not to mention the Jan 6 hearing.
“Proud Boys, stand back and stand by, but I’ll tell you what, somebody’s gotta do something about antifa and the left, because this is not a right-wing problem, this is a left-wing problem.”
