And it's not hard when you look into the ideas that sustain those like the Proud Boys and other Fascists. It all really boils down to White Replacement Theory. (One has to stop and wonder whether native North Americans, in both the US and Canada, didn't have an "Indigenous Replacement Theory." If they did, they would have been much more than justified, as history sadly demonstrates.)When comparing the FBI with the Proud Boys and other Fascists doing Trump's bidding, it's not hard to see who looks like - and aspires to be like - the Gestapo.
It's a funny (or not) thing that the last CPAC chose to convene in Budapest, Hungary, where Viktor Orban is President. As he said himself, "I see the great European population exchange as a suicidal attempt to replace the lack of European, Christian children with adults from other civilizations -- migrants."
WRT is being "normalized" in the west these days, as more and more oppressed and endangered people seek refuge. Some of us see trying to save your life and the lives of your family as a pretty sane thing to do, really, but a lot of people these days seem to see that as nothing but a threat to their own self-worth, self-importance and safety.
There have been times, by the way, when we have seen the same thing as an important way to grow -- as both the United States and Canada have done.
