Americans aren’t worried about white nationalism in the military – because they don’t know it’s there


White nationalist groups, who make up some of the most serious terror threats in the country, find new members and support in the U.S. military. These groups believe that white people are under attack in America.

In their effort to create an all-white country where nonwhites do not have civil rights protections, these groups often instigate violent confrontations that target racial and religious minorities. Since 2018, white supremacists have conducted more lethal attacks in the United States than any other domestic extremist movement.

The Proud Boys group, for example, whom President Donald Trump addressed in the first presidential debate of 2020, includes veterans and active duty service members. The group’s members, who are required to engage in physical violence before joining, celebrated Trump’s statement to “stand back and stand by,” considering his call an endorsement of their extremist ideology.

While many Americans were appalled at the president’s statement, our research shows that most Americans remain unaware of the connections these groups have to the military.

who despite their oath to the Constitution put their white Christian nationalist ideology and the Bible before the Constitution.

3. The Air Force Academy was headed up by a

White Christian extremist years ago. His mission was to indoctrinate those immature teens and turn them into RW warriors for Christ.
