In Episode 3 of the Anti-Trans Hate Machine, Imara Jones explores how paramilitary groups like Patriot Front are modernizing and intensifying their anti-LGBTQ tactics. Working in tandem with local politicians, right-wing think tanks, and influential online actors like Libs of Tik-Tok, these groups are radicalizing American politics from the ground up, weaponizing transphobia to destabilize local communities. In this episode we’ll show how these dangerous synergies are spreading and learn about how Idaho is the testing ground for this new wave of far-right extremism, raising urgent questions about the future of democracy in America.
