Anyhow, the entire period 2017 until the pandemic was an absolute firestorm of neo-Nazi violence both nationwide and worldwide.

No wonder they hated being forced inside. They were doing so many hate crimes.

Oddly enough because of the sheltering in place orders during the pandemic violence reduced somewhat - except for the rallies and restaurants who were being defiant and staying open, and no sheriff was interested in enforcing. So MAGA types were the only ones heading out aside from essentials.

Most people don’t obsessively track that stuff but I did and I can tell you with certainty that the tenor of white nationalist violence was absolutely at the rate of “one fucking horrifying thing ever three weeks or so” for a solid three years until COVID came around.
