Who are the Proud Boys and what do they stand for?
The ones I’ve seen near my hometown of Portland are the sons of far-wrong fathers & fanatically religious mothers ..having fled the Metro area when it’s politics flipped for good during the Reagan years..
They set up compounds in the surrounding counties, took control of school boards, filled radical churches, elected aggressive sheriffs, turned local politics from democrat to Blood-red Republican - and with the (near) election of trump - have become more emboldened than ever.
Young ignorant reactionaries who need to belong to a boy's club to feel accepted and comfortable with their masculinity.
