    In a stunning reversal - KARMA - the Proud Boys have to find a new identity, as the one they chose to represent their fascist right wing views was already in use - for years, by the LGBTQ community.

    Here's a Proud Boy celebrating!

    So... Next time I see one of these right wing extremists I can say "I didn't know you were gay"

    I think you might get your head bashed in, but also a great idea!

    What other memes do the right wing claim that can be reclaimed as liberal?

    Trump telling the Proud Boys to "stand back and stand by" now has a completely different meaning...

    Oi Vey

    I'm not exactly complaining as I don't expect things to change, or really want them to change to be frank

    But you all do get that sniggering like high school kids, such and such might be gay, hee hee hee hee, these proud boys might be lesser somehow if they indulge in pork sword fights.....is well the same as using the 6 letter f word, this is just politer diluted version

    Also, how many of these Proud boys are there really? Like 100? In a country of 330 million, and they don't seem to do anything other than spell badly on social media

    It's so not a thing

    The SPLC claims they have 20,000 followers on facebook and twitter, and are roughly 6,000 members strong. .

    Group meetings, according to their leader McInnes, “usually consist of drinking, fighting, and reading aloud from Pat Buchanan’s Death of the West.”

    Even at 6,000

    Really, what are 6,000 fat rednecks going to do?

    And what is it you expect them to do? Post a bunch of crap on social media no one is going to pay attention to?

    6000 isn't even 0.002% of your population

    That's the real problem nowadays, too many fringe groups, both left and right that barely represent enough people to fill a small town, getting far far too much attention

    The media certainly does overplay all this. Blame it on the proliferation of video cameras EVERYWHERE. And non-stop 24 hour news...I know people who do nothing but read this stuff 24/7.

    But it sure makes for good commentary.

    I think you underestimate just how fanatical his followers are and remember he did specifically address the proud boys and told them to standby,

    And speaking of fanatical cult-like trump worshipers, have any plans to fly to the united states on November 4th?

    Perhaps you can hook up with a local right-wing militia group and join their armed effort to reinstate President Trump....lol..

    This made my day. I've recently started referring to them as "Brown Shirts".

    I generally think of them as black hearts; although. Bob admires them and considers himself one of them.
