This post is the opinion of the the author and does not necessarily represent The Good Men Project.
White supremacists dominate one part of the extreme political spectrum, having rallied under the banner of the “Alt-Right” and scheduling regular marches to protest the removal of monuments to Civil War generals. On the other end there’s the Antifa, the loosely organized anti-fascist network that has made it its mission to confront the “Alt-Right” at its marches and stage counter protests. It’s not uncommon for these protests and counter-protests to devolve into brawls, and both have seen their support online dwindle after the violent confrontations. Now it’s a race to the bottom between Antifa and the white supremacists, with Antifa at a scant 23 percent Social approval rating, and white supremacists registering about the same at 24 percent. Still, the fact that sentiments are even that high is a testament to the social media prowess of the two groups. They’ve both been the subject of relentlessly negative coverage since the Charlottesville (Va.) rally earlier this month, which claimed a life. –Hugo Guzman
