"The vast majority of violence, including virtually every terrorist attack in the last 25 years, coming from the far right, has not been from anyone affiliated with a group. Most of what we see in the violent actions are individuals who are radicalized online into toxic cultures"
So basically: Facebook.
Every Republican I've interacted with in the last couple decades has been active on Facebook and gets "news" there

Careful about equating Republicans with radicalized far right extremists.
Such people likely reject the Republican party as corrupt or otherwise not sufficiently far right.
There are MUCH more toxic places online than Facebook.

The vast majority of Republicans I've had conversations with, including people I grew up with and went to school with, have been white supremacists. That's why they voted for Trump even though he's the opposite of everything they've claimed to stand for, like family values, fiscal responsibility, etc.
So where's the line between white supremacist and far right extremist?
If you believe those people to be the norm, then they aren't the extreme, by definition.
