The anti ICE protests are looking strong😤

From In These Times 🇺🇸 On high school and college campuses across the US, many young right-wingers are outflanking their MAGA elders in enthusiastic embrace of radically anti-democratic, exclusionary and bigoted politics.

These young right-wingers are often first radicalized by online influencers like Nick Fuentes, a white Christian nationalist, or Andrew Tate, an ultra-misogynist livestreamer. In online fan forums and message boards, they find camaraderie and community, circulating a menagerie of racist memes, anti-feminist screeds, bodybuilder videos, Bible verses and other content steeped in the loneliness of incel culture and the vitriol of white grievance.

And as they mature, many transform their politics into real-world activism. While this milieu produces no shortage of mass shooters, many more don suits and ties and find welcome, and livelihoods, in youth-focused MAGA institutions — meme-addled cell phones in pockets, determined to pull the Right ever further right.

​“Anyone who spends any time in conservative circles in D.C. knows there is a particularly potent militant mood on the younger end of the conservative spectrum,” explained 25-year-old conservative intellectual Nate Hochman on a panel in February. Five months later, Hochman was fired from Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ presidential campaign after incorporating the sonnenrad, a Nazi symbol, into a campaign video.

These are the rising leaders of the Right. And their exclusionary, anti-democratic politics sharpened and amplified by Trumpism aren’t going away anytime soon.
