The overwhelming majority of white supremacist propaganda—80%—was distributed by Texas-based right-wing extremist group Patriot Front, ADL said.

in a report published Thursday, part of an uptick in hate and violence that is incubated and amplified in extreme online communities.Los Angeles Times via Getty ImagesThe ADL’s Center on Extremism recorded 6,751 white propaganda incidents across the U.S. in 2022, the highest level recorded since the group began publishing data in 2016 and a nearly 40% jump from the year before.
Antisemitic propaganda incidents more than doubled last year, the report said, rising from 352 incidents in 2021 to 852 in 2022. Propaganda campaigns—such as distributing racist, antisemitic and anti-LGBTQ+ fliers, stickers, banners, graffiti and posters—allow a “small number of people to have an outsized impact,” the ADL said, maximizing media and online attention while minimizing negative risks like public backlash, arrests and negative media coverage.
Texas-based Patriot Front was the most active white supremacist group in the nation, ADL said, accounting for 80% of propaganda distributions in 2022—it distributed material in all states except Alaska and Hawaii—followed by antisemitic group GDL, which was responsible for 7% of total incidents but 58% of antisemitic propaganda incidents, and WLM .
