Has the Proud Boys been mentioned...

...since felonious trump buddied up with them?

Woulda thought they'd be loud and proud

Of course ICE is now here in similar fashion and much worse.

But STILL trump, the media, politicians, anyone has not mentioned them (coexisting with ICE)

And if the Proud Boys were truly patriotic and against big gov't, they'd make a presence. I know they're just misogynistic racist douches but still.

They haven't gone anywhere, they've just been given governmental authorization to bully citizens and noncitizens without repercussions.

on edit: had to fix the title since the = sign doesn't show up in titles

Creating misery for people who don't look like their lily white Jesus is their entire existence. And when I say "joined ICE" I don't necessarily mean they got hired by ICE. If their members aren't officially part of ICE, guarantee they're cosplaying ICE, because nobody's checking credentials anymore anyway. It's not like you need an understanding of the law and Constitution, basic fitness or the ability to read to kidnap folks off the street.

And btw, their knuckle-dragging stupidity is a feature, not a bug here.
