But in the first seven months of Mr. Trump’s second term, there has been a conspicuous absence of far-right demonstrations. And that, some leaders of the movement say, is because the president has effectively adopted their agenda.
“Things we were doing and talking about in 2017 that were taboo, they’re no longer taboo — they’re mainstream now,” said Enrique Tarrio, the chairman of the Proud Boys, who took part in many of those early far-right rallies. “Honestly, what do we have to complain about these days?” Whether it is dismantling diversity programs, complaining about anti-white bias in museums or simply promoting an aura of authoritarian nationalism, Mr. Trump has embraced an array of far-right views and talking points in ways that have delighted many right-wing activists who have long supported those ideas.
His administration has also hired several people with a history of making racist or antisemitic remarks or who have looked favorably on the attack on the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Far-right figures have been particularly thrilled by Mr. Trump’s aggressive crackdown on undocumented immigrants, praising not only the ubiquitous images of masked federal agents raiding farms and factories, but also the ideology that has fueled those moves: a belief that migration to the United States is all but synonymous with a military invasion.

Then I guess it’s not far right.
Far right = normal.
No, the Non-Obama-Far-Left Agenda Enters the Mainstream
In this day and age, yes.
Well, if far-right (common sense) is now mainstream, that means it’s not “far right” anymore - it’s center, and the other side is now sick, loony, crazy leftists!
About time common sense made a comeback!
“...a belief that migration to the United States is all but synonymous with a military invasion.”
And Common Sense….
So many buzzwords that say so little…
Mainstream agenda re enters the mainstream. As evidenced by the landslide victory both electoral and popular of this president
And that’s before dismantling the cheating and the ownership by the cheating leftists
.Watch what happens at mid terms
Let’s play Lugenpresse Bingo
Far Right!
Authoritarian!
Nationalism!
Proud Boys!
Racist!
Antisemitic!
Jan 6!
And that’s just the first part of the article LOL.
“ In this day and age, yes.”
No. That’s the media lying to you
The forgot “Hitler!”
Not far right ... Normality ...
There is no far right agenda. There is an American agenda and an Anti-American agenda.
Probably in next paragraph.
Those hacks don’t have an original thought in their pointy heads.
More BS from the NY Times. If FDR was alive today, the Times would label him Right Wing.
No, no, no, it’s not the far right. We’re in middle in the road with Trump.. it’s not vengeance or vendetta, it’s justice.
And if the pollyanna’s peddling that actually believe it, they’ll believe anything.
The American hating Communist are going to get their world severely rocked. Stayed tuned.
In Trump’s Second Term, We Return To Following The Law of Nature and Nature's God, As Codified In The United States Declaration Of Independence and The Constitution Of The United States of America
There, fixed it.
Hmmm, has the New York Times ever used the “far left” moniker, referring to some Democrat pol? I’m guessing no...
