WASHINGTON: The American far right is angry: Angry at Joe Biden, angry at Donald Trump, angry at the enigmatic “Q” and angry with themselves.

The online postings and chatrooms of US extremists have been brimming with disappointment and dissent since the failed January 6 insurrection against Congress and the inauguration of Joe Biden as president.

Followers of the QAnon conspiracy movement — and its delphic prophet Q — are in disarray, with their predictions of chaos and doom accompanying Biden’s elevation to the presidency not (or not yet) coming true.

Ultranationalists like the Proud Boys, armed militias such as the Oath Keepers, and dangerous white supremacists and neo-Nazis have been pushed further underground, with followers who took part in the Capitol attack being swept up by law enforcement.

1. Time for the media to start calling fascists, fascists...not nihilists, or some other bee ess.

The extreme right has always been a threat in modern America. Trump has made them more so. Trump or his successor could make them more so.

If we are lucky he will cripple the Republican party.

2. They have always been angry.

And that anger has always been misplaced.

3. oathkeepers and proud boys and all the other nazis have been working for years. I would HOPE

that the intelligence community has enough of a handle on them that their having "been pushed further underground" should not be too much of an impediment to shackling their asses.
