    Per the article:

    There’s evidence some Proud Boys are decamping to neo-Nazi groups. I’d argue that the Proud Boys are impacted by the same forces that are causing Moms for Liberty to falter. Republicans bet big into 2022 on far-right groups, but instead, the GOP underperformed in the 2022 and 2023 elections. The backfire effect is reducing enthusiasm for this new breed of culture warriors.

          It’s true. I usually dive into the comments to see if the article is worth my time and energy. Or see if the bot already reduced it by 70%. 😅
