Rick talks to Peter Simi, a sociology professor and expert in extremism, about the alarming rise of white supremacy in the U.S., where the movement has evolved from the overt image of the Klan to a slick, social media-driven force. Simi highlights how figures like Donald Trump and Tucker Carlson amplify these ideologies and how younger generations are being recruited online. He emphasizes the need for intervention programs to help individuals leave the movement and combat its growing influence.\n\nBuy Peter Simi\u2019s book \u2013 \u201cOut of Hiding: Extremist White Supremacy and How It Can be Stopped\u201d \u2013 at fine bookstores everywhere.\n\nFollow Rick Wilson at @TheRickWilson on X and subscribe to his Substack at therickwilson.substack.com.\nJoin the fight with Lincoln Project at www.lincolnproject.us and follow us on X at @ProjectLincoln.\nAnd please subscribe, rate and review this podcast, thank you!\nLearn more about your ad choices.
