Texas-based hate group source of 80% of all U.S. racist propaganda tracked in 2020

[douglas9]

Texas-based group Patriot Front was responsible for 80% of racist, antisemitic and other hateful messages tracked in the U.S. by the Anti-Defamation League last year in its annual report on white supremacist propaganda.
Dallas-headquartered Patriot Front, which espouses racism and antisemitism and prominently uses former President Donald Trump's "America First" messaging, was responsible for 4,105 of the incidents cited in the report. Texas also had the highest number of appearances of racist propaganda messages last year at 574.

“We’re concerned about this increase in white supremacist propaganda, especially since Patriot Front, a Texas-based organization, is responsible for much of it,” said Mark B. Toubin, ADL's Southwest regional director.

“White supremacists use these techniques to bolster recruitment and spread fear by targeting specific groups, including the Jewish, Black, Muslim and LGBTQ+ communities, as well as non-white immigrants," he added. "We’re watching this activity very closely.”

4. That's incredible work by the Anti-Defamation League.

And so interesting that one small group can have so much influence - and one small group can cause so much damage. I would have thought the hate message would have come from more sources.

That's really useful to know as far as how to fight back against them.

It seems to me that "hate laws" can put a stop to a lot of this kind of messaging, but with the slim majority we have in the senate, it's unlikely anything can be done.

5. Why, I wonder, are these people patriotic in any sense?

It is funny, isn't it, how the right wing often calls itself the opposite of what it actually is?

In this case, the proper word is not patriot.

It is TRAITOR.

8. Cowards will hide behind words like "patriot."

But “patriot” is the very last word one would choose to describe these individuals.

They appear to have no clue what it means to be a “patriot.”

10. too bad their votes never get them anywhere.

once the racism went to the repug party, most of them followed. Any chance they can convince their fox news watching bretheren to think for themselves for a change?

I wish that some of the Tom Steyer's of the world would allocate some of their resources to hire investigators- either P.I.'s or journalists. If we've learned anything over these past four years, we've had to have learned that we MUST be on the offense at all times.
