Monthly Reports on Far Right and Violent Extremist Activity
“In September 2026, the geographical distribution of incidents linked to terrorism and right-wing extremist violence remained strongly concentrated in North America and Western Europe. The United States recorded by far the highest number of incidents, with ten cases, followed by the United Kingdom and Spain, with two incidents each. The Netherlands and Greece each recorded one incident… Overall, September reinforces the continued prominence of the United States within the recorded incident landscape, alongside a smaller but persistent concentration of cases across Western and Southern Europe.” [International Observatory for Terrorism Studies]
“The hard-right organization Uncensored America has continued to host anti-Black and male supremacist speakers at universities across the country… Anti-student inclusion group Moms for Liberty has launched ‘M4L AWARE,’ which stands for ‘Agenda Watch, Alert, Respond, and Engage.’ It is an AI-powered system designed to monitor school board agendas of more than 13,000 school districts nationwide… Flashpoint, a talk show program that platforms Christian supremacist leaders, is developing an outreach arm, Flashpoint Army. The new chapter-based program aims to organize local communities around the dominionist theology and extremist ideology promoted on the show.” [Southern Poverty Law Center]
“Between November 3 and 6, approximately three dozen Telegram channels representing white supremacist groups and notable propagandists blamed Jews, Latinos, and South Asians for the outcome of the 2026 midterm election. On November 5, a white supremacist meme Telegram channel with over 8,500 subscribers specifically claimed that anyone angry about the results of the election should take their anger out on Jews, noting that they were ‘guilty for the murder of America’ … Several channels noted the hope that the election results would lead to increased recruitment by the extreme right and white supremacist groups… Several Active Clubs shared a message of indifference, stating that they were focused on building a durable white supremacist counter-culture and that they were not concerned with mass politics.” [Counter Extremism Project]
Far Right Reacts to Midterm Elections
In the wake of the midterm election results, right-wing media commentators “wasted little time before searching for scapegoats.”
Several right-wing media figures turned on colleagues aligned with the MAGA movement, and conservative pundits blamed Fox News “commentator Mark Levin over his support for the president’s disastrous and deeply unpopular war of choice with Iran.”
Far right extremists who previously aligned with Trump and “cheered on his agenda, such as the neo-Nazi Active Club movement, the white supremacist Proud Boys, and other far-right influencers, are ditching their support for Trump.”
Laura Loomer, the far right conspiracy theorist, took the social media platform formerly known as Twitter and “posted 119 times in less than 28 hours following the election results, equivalent to more than four posts an hour—or roughly one every 14 minutes.”
Loomer was also reportedly “paid by private clients to make political posts on social media without publicly disclosing the payments,” according to reporting by The Washington Post. Loomer allegedly “charges $3,000 to $5,000 per tweet, and sometimes more.”
Far Right Extremists Activity
Dalton Ray Mullis appeared in federal court this week and “pleaded guilty to intentionally defacing multiple buildings within a Charlotte complex used by the Jewish community for religious worship, education, and community activities,” according to a statement by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Western District of North Carolina.
Far right influencers launched a crowdfunding campaign for the legal expenses of Jaxton Tayte Collins, who has been charged for allegedly shoving a man of Indian descent and telling him to “go back to your country.” The crowdfunding campaign on the Christian fundraising website GiveSendGo has raised more than $29,000.

Phil Williams writes that “following a stunning blue tsunami, prominent Christian nationalists and internet provocateurs have declared that the ballot box is no longer their only option.”
Will Sommer writes that “few commentators on the right have been willing to blame Donald Trump for last week’s blue wave… But a large alliance of College Republican activists has shown no such compunction.”
Melissa Gira Grant writes that “there was precious little conspiracy-mongering” from right-wing conspiracy theorists and election deniers, and “instead, there was a series of self-important and increasingly pathetic posts, as they witnessed their power and influence fade before their eyes. They were losers, and their leader quickly confirmed as much. In 2026, Stop the Steal has met an absolute dead end.” [The New Republic]
Benjamin Weiss writes that in the hours of the midterm elections, prominent figures in right were “already drawing battle lines in what promises to be a contentious struggle for the movement’s future. The two camps: Trump loyalists, who insist the right should be focused on the threat of the ascendant left; and a furious cadre of far right-wingers who say it’s time to ditch the president entirely.” [Huffington Post]
