In the United States, the extreme right consists primarily of two large, slightly overlapping spheres. 1.In one sphere is the white supremacist movement, including its various sub-movements, such as neo-Nazis, racist skinheads, & the alt right, among others. 2. In the other sphere are anti-government extremist movements such as the militia movement & sovereign citizens (collectively, this sphere is often referred to as the “Patriot” movement). Also in the extreme right are several “single-issue” movements, which each tend to be the extreme wing of a more mainstream conservative movement; these include anti-abortion extremists, anti-immigrant extremists, anti-Muslim extremists, & anti-public lands extremists, among others.
