General Hate

Top takeaways

Groups listed under the General Hate category defy simple categorization. They embrace a broad range of bigotries, including misogyny, antisemitism and anti-Black, anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim views. 

The largest group listed in General Hate is the Proud Boys, a “Western chauvinist” men’s group that espouses rabidly anti-Muslim and anti-immigrant beliefs, demonizes trans people, and clings to archaic and misogynistic notions of gender. Established in the run-up to the 2016 presidential election, the Proud Boys were staunch supporters of Donald Trump throughout his presidency. The group has a long history of violence, and roughly 100 members participated in the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. 

Key moments

The Proud Boys were highly mobilized in 2020. They protested COVID-19 public safety measures, held their own rallies around the country and, during the first presidential debate, celebrated when then-President Trump told them to “stand back and stand by.” That momentum led them to the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, where a large battalion of members – led by Proud Boys Joseph Biggs and Ethan Nordean, among others – entered the building as part of an attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. Throughout the year, charges were brought against roughly 40 members of the group – including Biggs and Nordean – for their participation in the insurrection.

The fallout from the insurrection led the group to take a brief hiatus. But the Proud Boys once again mobilized in the spring, this time focusing on local political battles. Across the country, members of the Proud Boys descended on local demonstrations and city council and school board meetings to protest mask mandates, vaccines, access to reproductive care, inclusive education, police reform and other hot-button issues. Members attacked inclusive education curricula as “sexual degeneracy and the rewriting of history” and “transgender garbage.”

Beginning in July, Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio was imprisoned for setting fire to a Black Lives Matter banner in December 2020 in Washington, D.C. He was released in January 2022. Other Proud Boys remained jailed pending trial in charges related to the Jan. 6 insurrection.  

What’s ahead

Though the Proud Boys continue to fight legal battles, the group will remain mobilized in 2022. As Republican politicians use more openly violent rhetoric, the Proud Boys’ brand of authoritarian politics is shifting further into the political mainstream. The threat the group poses is likely to elevate during the 2022 midterms and the 2024 presidential election

Background

These groups espouse a variety of unique hateful doctrines and beliefs that are not easily categorized. This list includes a “Jewish” group that is rabidly anti-Arab, a “Christian” group that is anti-Catholic and a polygamous “Mormon” breakaway sect that is racist. Many of the groups are vendors that sell a miscellany of hate materials from several different sectors of the white supremacist movement.
