Are you suggesting this all some kind of long-delayed reaction to the BLM protests last summer?
Yup. Taking a leaf out of their (your? I really don't know your position on those events) book.
*White supremacist payback for protesting continual police violence in the largest civil rights protest in history with an armed takeover of a government building after a fair election where they lost power.

Fixed it.

If these were black protestors they'd be dead by now.
I haven't been following closely. Evidence for these being white supremacists?

Here's a silver lining folks - Hollywood is definitely gonna make a movie out of this.

These crazy white nationalists have lost it.

They've lost it. The issue now is whether anything can be saved. Sound exaggerated? Recall the French Revolution began with an incident involving one washerwoman and loaf of bread. This is 98% certain to end without some kind or form of civil war, but don't think such an outcome is guaranteed.

One of the main groups organizing the protest is the Proud Boys, a well known white nationalist group.

Other than oo-rahing from the Proud Boys involved and the waving of confederate flags in the senate house?

What I see is people who really believe that Biden stole
the election from Trump. I know those who feel this way,
& I've been unable to dissuade them. But consider what
the crowds are doing & chanting. It's all about the stolen
election.
Efforts to ignore that motive in favor of claiming they're
white supremacists seems unevidenced. Perhaps it
stems from desire to demonize, rather than understand.

But as leader?! The numero uno chariman!

Well, if you find that comparable, that's your prerogative.
Aka a figurehead. Not actually a leader.
Same thing happened with Gamergate. Hell the same thing happened in the Civil War. Black voices speaking for slavery, either out of fear of the repercussion of removing it or internalized racism causing them to be the best pet mouthbox of white supremacy.

I often wondered what sort of white supremacist group has an Afro-Cuban for a leader. One of the great mysteries of life, I guess.

Please forgive him for the gave sin of confusing a far-right, Neo-fascist, male-only political organization with a far-right, Neo-fascist, male-only, white supremacist political organization. I'm sure he meant well.

Voice of reason as usual, @Revoltingest.
