US Authoritarianism

I don't think I've seen a supremacist protest with more than maybe a dozen or two idiots there, maybe 3 dozen max.

Did people just forget about Charlottesville? There were literally hundreds of them there, and the police pulled back so they could attack a group of counter protesters who were mainly made up of professors and clergymen.

"Counterprotests began with an interfaith, interracial group of clergy who linked arms, prayed, and sang songs of peace,[158] such as "This Little Light of Mine".[159] Later in the day, counterprotesters chanted slogans including "Kill All Nazis"[160] and "punch a Nazi in the mouth".[161] The armed leftist group Redneck Revolt[162] posted on their website: "To the fascists and all who stand with them, we'll be seeing you in Virginia."[163] Harvard professor Cornel West, who organized some of the counter-demonstrators, said that a group of "20 of us who were standing, many of them clergy, we would have been crushed like cockroaches if it were not for the anarchists and the anti-fascists who approached, over 300, 350 anti-fascists". West stated, "The neofascists had their own ammunition. And this is very important to keep in mind, because the police, for the most part, pulled back."

there's very few places where they feel emboldened enough to actually do that without fear of retribution from fellow citizens.

They don't fear their fellow citizens because the police protect them whenever they bite off a piece a bit too big for them to chew. Even in one of the most progressive cities in the US, there were literally street fights between fascist and anti fascist for like 2 years. There's a reason none of the cops who patrol Portland don't live in the city, everyone knows they despise the place.

news just isn't covering it. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I think it's just one of the many things people have forgotten about the time prior to COVID. If you recall during the Trump administration, anti fascist were on the news cycle every day, mostly being portrayed as violent extremists.

Racism in policing are inseparable and thinly veiled even from within the leo community. There's a reason why black police officers have segregated "fraternal orders" all around the nation, even in "liberal" cities.
