The group chock full of his followers have come to learn one lesson the hard way: ‘Trump was just a man.’
Far-right extremists are seething now that President Joe Biden has been successfully inaugurated as the 46th president of the United States.
The Proud Boys, a violent extremist group composed of some of former PresidentDonald Trump’s staunchest followers, now proclaims the twice-impeached ex-commander-in-chief will go down in history as “a total failure.”
The New York Times is reporting that chatter on fringe social media sites like Gab and Telegram is dubbing Trump a “shill” and “extraordinarily weak.” Additionally, there are calls for supporters to stop attending his rallies or protests held in his name or by the Republican Party.

Founded in 2016 as a “club for men” who described themselves as “Western chauvinists,” the Proud Boys were catapulted to a national platform for several years of the Trump presidency after consistent demonstrations and violence in Charlottesville, Portland and Kenosha. Trump legitimized the group during the first presidential debate when he would not denounce them, instead famously telling them to “stand back and stand by.”
