Right-wing extremism has previously played out for the most part in isolated pockets of America and in its smaller cities. The deadly assault by rioters on the U.S. Capitol, in contrast, targeted the very heart of government.

And it brought together, in large numbers, members of disparate groups, creating an opportunity for extremists to establish links with each other."The events themselves, and participation in them, has a radicalizing effect. And they also have an inspirational effect. The battle of Capitol Hill is now part of the mythology," said Brian Michael Jenkins, a terrorism expert and senior adviser to the president of the RAND Corporation think-tank .

"All have led to this moment," McCord, now a visiting law professor at Georgetown University Law Center, said in an email. "January 6th was kind of a Woodstock of the angry right," Jenkins said in an interview. "The mere fact those groups were coming together, mingling, sharing this anger, displaying this passion -- it is going to have effects."

But now, some are clearly angry that Trump disassociated himself with the very insurrection that he stoked. They're upset that he failed to come to the rescue of rioters who were arrested while he was still president and are still being detained and charged."No pardons for middle class whites who risked their livelihoods by going to `war' for Trump," a Telegram channel associated with the group said after Trump issued many pardons, but none for the insurrectionists.

Jenkins said the next phase for the extremist groups and people who saw Trump as a saviour could transform into a broader national movement in which factions co-ordinate and combine their assets.

Lunatics on both sides.

Why are you spending so much time reporting on American protesters but not giving any coverage to all the Canadian protests happening? Is it because our Canadian ones are peaceful? Well, except for the cops that is.

Tadaaa!

You mean like SJW's and Antifa?

Hopefully there will be no other times for such a thing to happen and many of these extremist groups become disbanded or at least diminish in their influence over Republican politicians.

so did the marxist BLM terrorism

LOL

Any interest in the year long Antifa/BLM violence in Portland and Seattle?

'some are clearly angry that Trump disassociated himself with the very insurrection that he stoked. They're upset that he failed to come to the rescue of rioters who were arrested while he was still president and are still being detained and charged.' Wow they're dumb 🤣

CTV...official sewer of sleazy misinformation.

What about Antifa and BLM?

It’s kind of a comedy of errors - so many in authority denying that rightwing extremists were a problem... even ad those extremists broke into the Capitol building and chased those indulging people in authority into hiding. “They ain’t that bad. Are those spears? Shots fired “
