The only group you can say this is true about is the Boogaloo boys. And look how few they are compared to the myriad of violent f**ks on the left. Stop with the selective outrage.
It's not just Boogaloo Boys. What about the "Jews will not replace us" people in Charlottesville? Richard Spencer's followers. The Groypers are very racially motivated. Jarod Taylor has a big racist following. Stormfront. david duke etc. All the Chan sites are loaded with racist right wingers. The Gab app, and Parlor are loaded with them. Youtube is full of geeks with hundreds of thousands of followers who giggle about 1488 references, thinking no one knows. There are "journalists" whose career is basically going to a town with immigrants and asking "Where are the white people? look at these brown people, oh no we are being REEPLAACEED!!!". And more on topic, there were leaks from private police forums that exposed a bunch of racist cops who where fantasizing about the day they finally get to start shooting, it sounded a lot like the **** on the Chan sites. One of the racist cops had SS lightning bolts etched into the butt of his flashlight, no one who worked with him said ****.
I don't get why right wingers deny these people exist?
I am fundamentally opposed to the idea of ideology. I read and follow people from both the "left and right". I don't think it's likely that I go as far right as you do, but even at my surface level entry into the "right" I'm aware of these people, and their intentions. They've got a large enough presence to be on my radar, I didn't have to search for them, they where shared around by right wingers i followed.
Or maybe you don't think the people I named are racists? If that's the case.....
I love you, but you might be a little slow.
There is also legions of boomers who think like this. There is plenty of race related politics on the right.
and this

Republicans don't support that. You're conflating the two. The guy who shot the cops was repeating the EXACT same thing BLM people who circle the wagons have been saying for years. No justice, no peace. Calling cops "pigs" (put wings on a pig). F**k the cops is a movement; f**k Hispanics is not a movement.
Have been saying for years, or said years ago?
When was the last time you saw a video with the whole crowd chanting about putting wings on a pig? BLM organizers have actually self policed that stuff, I haven't seen it in a while.
The Republican party may not explicitly call for violence against Hispanics, but careless anti-immigration rhetoric can quickly grow into animosity, especially when you start dipping your toes into the "white replacement" stuff the right is flirting with. Tucker likes dipping his toes in it. So did his racist writer who just resigned, he bragged about slipping dog whistles into Tuckers rants.
I'm Hispanic, living in New Mexico, I've had people interrupt private conversation to say "Speak English, this is America.", and not a polite request, it borders on threat. In New Mexico, where all the towns and street names are Spanish, the churches they attend have Spanish names. New Mexico is a Hispanic majority state. Since the Spanish arrived, people have spoken Spanish here. In New Mexico, that's a ridiculous expectation. Nationalism is one of the few things that breeds that level of arrogance and entitlement. Telling people how they are expected to live to "fit in". The right definitely has a collectivist streak that can get very authoritarian very quickly. Combine that with fear of "being replaced" you might be surprised how quickly that turns to hate.
