Dixon continues, “The groups include white nationalist, paramilitary, QAnon, anti-immigrant or Stop the Steal, as well as others that do not engage in nationalist or racist proselytizing, but do encourage opposition to government mask and vaccination rules and other public health efforts to contain COVID-19, the report indicates.”
