Initiatives such as legislation on culture-war issues, the redrawing of voting districts, curricular oversight, and the removal of books from libraries raise questions about how social movements and activists interact with public officials. This second Mershon Center symposium on the mainstreaming of far-right extremism considers the strategies of influence that pose threats to democratic institutions. Thirteen presentations of original research consider the growing visibility of extreme viewpoints, digital echo chambers, the role of militias, and the assimilation of far-right views into conservative politics.
