It's evolution.
What's the big deal, right?
There is a slice of our population, the ones that I deal with, who think it is a big deal, and they're trying to stop it.
And that's why when I first started, I've been doing this, like I said, for 45 years.
When I first started doing this, it was just the KKK, white power skinheads, and some neo-Nazi groups.
That was basically it, right?
Today you've got the KKK, the neo-Nazis, the skinheads, the Patriot Front, the Vanguard, the Proud Boys, the Oath Keepers, the National Alliance, on, on, and on, a whole slew of groups.
And they're all saying, come join us, come join us.
We're going to take back our country, right?
So people, out of fear of their identity being erased, as they're saying because they're trying to keep the races pure, because what they tell me is, Daryl, I don't want my grandkids to be brown.
They call it the browning of America.
or white genocide through miscegenation.
So these people, out of fear of their identity being erased, because they truly believe that they are patriots, and it's their job to save this country.
We built this country.
We wrote the Constitution.
And now people are coming into our country who don't look like us and squeezing us out of our own country.
That's the mentality.
And as Jeff points out, they're surrounded by an echo chamber that keeps repeating that.
So then it becomes the truth to them, right?
So they run and join these groups.
