Secret message leaks show how extreme groups reacted to Trump's win
A leaked Telegram post shows how far-right groups responded to **Donald Trump**ʼs electoral success. Different extremist organizations shared messages of triumph on social-media platforms
A short-but-telling message appeared on a militia-focused Telegram channel wednesday morning:
WE DID IT
The post showed how Donald Trumpʼs supporters in extreme-right circles viewed his victory. Before vote counting finished many pro-trump groups started posting victory messages on different social-media platforms (which showed their over-confidence in the result)
The celebrations came from several far-right groups including:
- Anti-govt militia members
- White-nationalist organizations
- The proud-boys movement
- Religious-supremacy supporters
- Qanon belief followers
These groups saw Trump as someone who matched their ideas about americas future — their posts mixed happy messages with hints about getting back at political rivals. Many members of these groups (who often share different but connected beliefs) saw the win as proof that their time had come
