Anyone walking today through the streets of Portland, Berkeley, or Charlottesville no longer encounters the heated demonstrations that just a few years ago shaped the image of American cities. Back then, the Proud Boys, the Oath Keepers, and other paramilitary groups marched almost every weekend to protest against migration, against \u201ccancel culture,\u201d or against the removal of Confederate statues. But since Donald Trump began his second term, the marches have largely disappeared. Not because the anger has evaporated \u2013 but because the White House has already taken over what these groups once went to the streets for. \u201cThings we were saying in 2017 at demonstrations were taboo. Today they are mainstream,\u201d explained Enrique Tarrio, the longtime chairman of the Proud Boys. In one sentence he sums up the situation: The extreme right no longer needs to rebel against the establishment \u2013 it has become the establishment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"587\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kaizen-blog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/GyUV580WMAASF4C.jpg?resize=640%2C587&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12974\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kaizen-blog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/GyUV580WMAASF4C.jpg?resize=1024%2C939&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kaizen-blog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/GyUV580WMAASF4C.jpg?resize=13%2C12&amp;ssl=1 13w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kaizen-blog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/GyUV580WMAASF4C.jpg?resize=300%2C275&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kaizen-blog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/GyUV580WMAASF4C.jpg?resize=768%2C704&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kaizen-blog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/GyUV580WMAASF4C.jpg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Enrique Tarrio \u2013 Yo-ho, all hands, hoist the colors high, heave ho, thieves and beggars \u2013 never shall we die!<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:24px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The agenda of this movement ranges from dismantling diversity programs to claims of an alleged \u201cdisadvantage for whites\u201d to the cynical glorification of nationalist authoritarianism. Trump\u2019s policies have not only picked up on all of this but poured it into concrete acts of governance. His administration has installed personnel who in the past distinguished themselves with antisemitic and racist comments, while at the same time implementing measures that form the core of alt-right ideology: mass deportations, raids in factories and on farms staged for the media, the rhetorical staccato of \u201cinvasion\u201d and \u201cdefense of the nation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"361\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kaizen-blog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Kopie-von-Kopie-von-Kopie-von-The-Kaizen-Blog-Online-Magazin107.webp?resize=640%2C361&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12976\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kaizen-blog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Kopie-von-Kopie-von-Kopie-von-The-Kaizen-Blog-Online-Magazin107.webp?w=900&amp;ssl=1 900w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kaizen-blog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Kopie-von-Kopie-von-Kopie-von-The-Kaizen-Blog-Online-Magazin107.webp?resize=18%2C10&amp;ssl=1 18w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kaizen-blog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Kopie-von-Kopie-von-Kopie-von-The-Kaizen-Blog-Online-Magazin107.webp?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kaizen-blog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Kopie-von-Kopie-von-Kopie-von-The-Kaizen-Blog-Online-Magazin107.webp?resize=768%2C433&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>\u201cUnite the Right\u201d rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:23px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Particularly telling was the anniversary of Charlottesville. Eight years after the torch march in which neo-Nazis chanted slogans against migrants and Jews, Augustus Sol Invictus, one of the organizers back then, wrote with satisfaction: \u201cIn the past you were considered an extremist if you protested against being replaced by immigrants. Today it is official White House policy.\u201d The messages are unambiguous. Abigail Jackson, White House spokeswoman, defended Trump\u2019s course by saying he was the \u201cvoice for millions of forgotten men and women who support the widely popular policies he is enacting.\u201d The reality is: What was once a fringe position is today government doctrine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"361\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kaizen-blog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Kopie-von-Kopie-von-Kopie-von-The-Kaizen-Blog-Online-Magazin108.webp?resize=640%2C361&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12977\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kaizen-blog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Kopie-von-Kopie-von-Kopie-von-The-Kaizen-Blog-Online-Magazin108.webp?w=900&amp;ssl=1 900w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kaizen-blog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Kopie-von-Kopie-von-Kopie-von-The-Kaizen-Blog-Online-Magazin108.webp?resize=18%2C10&amp;ssl=1 18w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kaizen-blog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Kopie-von-Kopie-von-Kopie-von-The-Kaizen-Blog-Online-Magazin108.webp?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kaizen-blog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Kopie-von-Kopie-von-Kopie-von-The-Kaizen-Blog-Online-Magazin108.webp?resize=768%2C433&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Abigail Jackson, White House spokeswoman<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Still under strong pressure during Joe Biden\u2019s presidency \u2013 through prosecutions of the leaders of January 6 and harsh sentences against militiamen \u2013 the extreme right has re-formed. The Oath Keepers practically no longer exist, their founder Stewart Rhodes largely disappeared from the public eye. Enrique Tarrio, meanwhile, now produces podcasts and runs a blockchain app called \u201cICERAID,\u201d which pays informants in cryptocurrency for tips on migrants. Other groups like the Patriot Front do still rely on marches, but figures from the research network ACLED show: The number of right-wing demonstrations has dropped sharply in 2025. Part of this quiet is explained by the legal consequences of the storming of the Capitol. The other part: The Trump government is itself implementing the movement\u2019s demands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thus, on the first day of his second term, Trump issued a sweeping amnesty for almost 1,600 convicted Capitol rioters, including men who had attacked police. He signed executive orders with titles like \u201cProtecting the States Against Invasion\u201d and \u201cProtecting the American People Against Invasion\u201d \u2013 texts almost word for word from the pamphlets of extremists who committed attacks in El Paso, Buffalo, or Pittsburgh. In February he stopped US development aid for South Africa and at the same time opened a special refugee program for white Africans. Officially it was said that the aim was to \u201chelp Afrikaners who are victims of unjust racial discrimination.\u201d In doing so the US government took up a central narrative long cherished by far-right circles about the supposed \u201csuffering of the white minority\u201d in post-apartheid South Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">t the same time, Trump created space for figures who had already once attracted attention for their closeness to neo-Nazis. Darren Beattie, who had been dismissed during the first Trump term for attending a far-right conference, was brought back into the State Department and later even made head of the US Institute of Peace. On social media he wrote as recently as 2023 that \u201ccompetent white men must take the lead if you want things to work.\u201d Instead of keeping a distance, the State Department publicly defended the personnel choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"361\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kaizen-blog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Kopie-von-Kopie-von-Kopie-von-The-Kaizen-Blog-Online-Magazin109.webp?resize=640%2C361&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12978\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kaizen-blog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Kopie-von-Kopie-von-Kopie-von-The-Kaizen-Blog-Online-Magazin109.webp?w=900&amp;ssl=1 900w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kaizen-blog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Kopie-von-Kopie-von-Kopie-von-The-Kaizen-Blog-Online-Magazin109.webp?resize=18%2C10&amp;ssl=1 18w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kaizen-blog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Kopie-von-Kopie-von-Kopie-von-The-Kaizen-Blog-Online-Magazin109.webp?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kaizen-blog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Kopie-von-Kopie-von-Kopie-von-The-Kaizen-Blog-Online-Magazin109.webp?resize=768%2C433&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Darren Beattie<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:21px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Similar cases are piling up.

The DHS account on X recently advertised for ICE with a recruitment poster and the slogan \u201cWhich way, American man?\u201d \u2013 an obvious reference to a book by a neo-Nazi from the 1970s. What emerges is a picture of systematic co-option. While right-wing extremism once agitated at the margins of society, it has today moved into the center of power. Amy Spitalnick of the Jewish Council for Public Affairs put it this way: \u201cThe rise of the alt-right ten years ago was a backlash against the first Black president. Today their ideas have been normalized at the highest levels of power.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kaizen-blog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Design-ohne-Titel422.webp?resize=640%2C800&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12980\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kaizen-blog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Design-ohne-Titel422.webp?w=800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kaizen-blog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Design-ohne-Titel422.webp?resize=10%2C12&amp;ssl=1 10w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kaizen-blog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Design-ohne-Titel422.webp?resize=240%2C300&amp;ssl=1 240w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kaizen-blog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Design-ohne-Titel422.webp?resize=768%2C960&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:26px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump was never a man of distance. Already in 2017, after Charlottesville, he spoke of \u201cvery fine people on both sides.\u201d In 2020 he called out to the Proud Boys during a TV debate: \u201cStand back and stand by.\u201d Later he claimed not to know them at all. Even after the dinner with Nick Fuentes in 2022 he quickly denied knowing his guest. But this time there is no more backtracking, no half-hearted retreat. His America of the second term is a country where the president no longer merely flirts with the fringes but makes their worldview the basis of his policy. What was once a dangerous liaison is today raison d\u2019\u00e9tat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"361\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kaizen-blog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Kopie-von-Kopie-von-Kopie-von-The-Kaizen-Blog-Online-Magazin111.webp?resize=640%2C361&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12981\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kaizen-blog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Kopie-von-Kopie-von-Kopie-von-The-Kaizen-Blog-Online-Magazin111.webp?w=900&amp;ssl=1 900w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kaizen-blog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Kopie-von-Kopie-von-Kopie-von-The-Kaizen-Blog-Online-Magazin111.webp?resize=18%2C10&amp;ssl=1 18w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kaizen-blog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Kopie-von-Kopie-von-Kopie-von-The-Kaizen-Blog-Online-Magazin111.webp?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kaizen-blog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Kopie-von-Kopie-von-Kopie-von-The-Kaizen-Blog-Online-Magazin111.webp?resize=768%2C433&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:26px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The parallels to Europe are unmistakable. What Trump has long since turned into government policy in the White House is unfolding on this side of the Atlantic as creeping normalization. It is the soundtrack of a slow shift that is far more dangerous than any open march: It disguises the takeover of right-wing narratives as serious politics. The so-called firewall is nothing but a Trojan horse. And here too the pattern we have seen in Poland and Hungary is evident. PiS began with attacks on an alleged \u201cthreat to the family,\u201d Orb\u00e1n with the demonization of migrants and \u201cforeign influences.\u201d Today independent media there are destroyed, the judiciary aligned, NGOs criminalized \u2013 not by open extremists but by bourgeois-conservative forces who claimed to stabilize the country. This is precisely the transatlantic parallel: While Trump in Washington openly executes what once raged on the far right, European Christian Democrats, with their rhetoric and policies, prepare the ground on which authoritarian systems thrive. What was once fringe is today part of the mainstream \u2013 and in that lies the greatest danger to democracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"361\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kaizen-blog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/batch_Kopie-von-Kopie-von-Kopie-von-The-Kaizen-Blog-Online-Magazin112.webp?resize=640%2C361&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12982\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kaizen-blog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/batch_Kopie-von-Kopie-von-Kopie-von-The-Kaizen-Blog-Online-Magazin112.webp?w=900&amp;ssl=1 900w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kaizen-blog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/batch_Kopie-von-Kopie-von-Kopie-von-The-Kaizen-Blog-Online-Magazin112.webp?resize=18%2C10&amp;ssl=1 18w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kaizen-blog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/batch_Kopie-von-Kopie-von-Kopie-von-The-Kaizen-Blog-Online-Magazin112.webp?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kaizen-blog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/batch_Kopie-von-Kopie-von-Kopie-von-The-Kaizen-Blog-Online-Magazin112.webp?resize=768%2C433&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Victor Orb\u00e1n \u2013 A miscasting for a democratic Europe<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What is being experienced in Germany is not an isolated phenomenon.

Julia Kl\u00f6ckner is thus once again the symbol of a miscasting \u2013 a disgrace for a democratic Germany of the first order.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"361\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kaizen-blog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Kopie-von-Kopie-von-Kopie-von-The-Kaizen-Blog-Online-Magazin114.webp?resize=640%2C361&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12984\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kaizen-blog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Kopie-von-Kopie-von-Kopie-von-The-Kaizen-Blog-Online-Magazin114.webp?w=900&amp;ssl=1 900w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kaizen-blog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Kopie-von-Kopie-von-Kopie-von-The-Kaizen-Blog-Online-Magazin114.webp?resize=18%2C10&amp;ssl=1 18w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kaizen-blog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Kopie-von-Kopie-von-Kopie-von-The-Kaizen-Blog-Online-Magazin114.webp?resize=300%2C169&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/kaizen-blog.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Kopie-von-Kopie-von-Kopie-von-The-Kaizen-Blog-Online-Magazin114.webp?resize=768%2C433&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong>Friedrich \u201cright-winger in a tailored suit\u201d Merz and gourmet influencer Markus S\u00f6der<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Germany is on the same track.

Because it disguises the dismantling of democratic culture as serious politics of the center. The Union calls it a firewall \u2013 in truth it is a Trojan horse.
