SPLC’s 2022 report includes a new designation: the ‘antigovernment movement’

“Hate and antigovernment groups make up the extreme edge of America’s hard right, an inherently antidemocratic movement that rejects pluralism and equity,” the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) report states. “The movement instead strives to build a society dominated by hierarchy, where people whom far rightists deem lesser or threatening–women, Black and Brown people, LGBTQ people, non-Christians and others–are socially and politically subjugated. The hard right has the advantage of building on already existing structural white supremacy, as well as its persistent and regular manifestations in everyday life and in politics.”
