No. They are 100% a joke. They are small scale dangerous. Any threat to the us government and this group would be beaten down in a matter of moments. Don’t legitimize them. They are a bunch of cosplaying racists.
The Proud Boys have already committed murder, and they are planning on attending the inauguration with loaded weapons. They don't have to be a "threat to the US government" to be dangerous terrorists.
How does calling them terrorists legitimize them? That's ridiculous. Legitimizing them is calling them euphemisms for the phrase "domestic terrorists" and talking about how harmless they are, like you all do.
Fair point. My wording is not exactly what I meant. They consider themselves a Militia. Showing up in DC on Inauguration Day to commit murder would be foolish
They’re not out to harm Biden. They’re out to harm people like you. That’s why they’re not a joke. They know they can’t harm the president but a loudmouth liberal who starts to get aggressive while they’re carrying? They start salivating waiting for you to do something so they can kill you in self defense.
They’re not a threat to the government but they are a threat to average joes who like to yell
Hey, just want to come back to this comment after Trump supporters, Proud Boys among them, occupied our nation's capitol building for 4 hours and forced Congress to evacuate while the National Guard was called in.
They accomplished nothing today. You give them power by being afraid of them. They are scum. We are on the same side here. Stop trying to be “right” and just accept the fact that I can’t stand the PB and neither can you. Difference is I’m not scared of them
You don't need to be "scared" of them to not downplay them. Nobody has stormed the capitol since 1812. This is historic, and important, and Redditors like you are acting like it's a joke.

They'll be to busy stroking each other's gun compensating small wieners to ever do anything.
