One thing I'll add is that we do need class analysis of right-wing violence, but one that is grounded in reality. Base of violent right isn't working class but hinterland petty bourgeois (i.e. the well-to-do members of often economically depressed areas).

The hinterland petty bourgeois, the small town bigwig (often a doctor or business owner), has been the base of the revanchist right for, I dunno, the last 200 years. They were the fans of Napoleon III, of Mussolini, of Poujade, of Trump. That's the class worth analyzing.

Clue #1 is the dumpster. City folks don't even notice. But if you've got trash pickup you're not that rural and you got money.

Yes. Rural trash pick-up is not cheap. Poor folks usually just burn what they can. Written from personal experience.
