Abstract

The article focuses on Donald Trump's relationship with far-right extremist groups, particularly in the context of the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot. It discusses how Trump’s rhetoric evolved from implicit support to direct calls for action, framing violence as a legitimate response to political differences. Following his election loss, Trump's influence appears to have waned due to legal challenges and the accountability faced by his supporters, including leaders of the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers. However, the article warns that if Trump were to regain the presidency, he could empower extremist elements within state institutions, potentially leading to a resurgence of right-wing extremism.
