  1. For the most part, they are just thugs that use patriotism as a cover for their actions, I saw a lot of the same in the UK with hard core Brexiteers that cloud themselves in wanting to do what's best for the country but their actions actually do the country more harm and basically what we've seen in both the UK and US because of all this is a lot more division among the people, something that they want as it plays into the hands of what these movements want, confusion, paranoia to build up their ranks. It's scary how quickly history could repeat it's self if we are not careful.

  2. That movement that's growing in the US isn't that different from the movement that grew in Germany which let to Hitlers rise to power and we all know how that turned out. If these movements are not kept in check, they will blow up in the people's faces and a big part of it is because a lot of people feel like they are being left behind where governments like to brag about how well the economy is doing and how unemployment numbers are low but to the person in the street, it feels like things are progressively getting worse with each passing year. Same thing happened in the UK with Brexit, people are angry with how things are, in the case of the UK, the right wing media and the government turned the public's attention towards the EU being the real problem when it's clearly not true as most of the issues are from UK governments and more so the current government that's in power. These people think it's all a game but they are playing with fire and it doesn't take much to overthrow any system with enough of a push and it all starts with getting people to buy into lies and ignore the truth and facts, something that's been happening a lot in the UK and US the last 5 years. I know some will say what happen in Germany in the 30's could never happen in the US but then that's what the Germans thought until it was too late. Anything with Biden in power, it might have put a bit of a dent in that movement but it does look like that movement is growing and will likely make a return with another government, the UK on the other hand are going through some kind of rollercoaster where they are all over the place but the problem is still there and not going away, especially once the damage of the pandemic and Brexit starts to really hit the people, I think that's what both countries need to worry about, the pandemic impact on the people is likely going to help this movement along to gather support because these movement take advantage of people suffering and being left behind. Basically, to kill or reduce these movements, governments have to deliver on what the people want and life the standards of living for all people and especially the poor and middle classes, otherwise these movements are likely going to continue to grow until they become a real threat and in the case of the US, the warning sign was there with Trump and in the UK with Brexit, if we don't listen to these warnings then quite frankly, we deserve what we get. It's scary how quickly history could repeat it's self if we are not careful.
