"[R]acist conspiracy theories, despite being debunked again and again, have led to a wave of bomb threats and racist attacks in #Ohio, where #JDVance, #Trump’s Vice Presidential running mate, is a Senator. Vance has a long history of association with the #FarRight, from his close connection to #PeterThiel, his affinity for '#NeoReactionary' thinkers, and his attendance at both the recent '#NationalConservative' conference and #ChristianNationalist events.
"#Fascist and #WhiteSupremacist groups have also continued to try and use the situation in Springfield to their advantage, with the #ProudBoys holding a march of around a dozen members and #BloodTribe recently rallying outside of the Mayor’s home. While these events have been small, we shouldn’t underestimate the potential of these groups to engage in targeted violence and also take part in future #racist mobilizations under the cover of Trump and the Republican party, if they do materialize.
"Regardless of who wins the election, #antifascist organizing will have to grow and evolve to meet these challenges, figuring out how to build deeper connections and relationships in rural communities and push back against both far-Right groups on the streets and their allies within the halls of power."
