Proud boys ‘protecting’ trump supporters today in Wauwatosa is exactly how their neo-nazi founder Gavin McInnes planned for them to gain support. Allow black/latino members so they can claim they’re ‘not racist’ and larp as cops to attract other right wingers. 1/2

Meanwhile blatant white supremacist factions operate within the group and regularly fantasize about violence/death threats against protesters. Don’t let their optics fool you. Thats how they win.

Refer to this @splcenter report on their history with white supremacy https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/group/proud-boys?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIw_muyKCC7AIV1Bx9Ch3M4g_rEAAYASAAEgLYdvD_BwE

And recent screenshots from their telegram channel (acquired by @RuthlessWe)

This is turning into a long thread but PLEASE if you have conservative family members (like me) and the proud boys come up in conversation, show them this article, because if you can at least agree that neo-nazis are bad, they might not be too far gone
