The words “Boogaloo” and “Second American Civil War (SACW)” are frequent in the U.S. media in these days. "Boogaloo" is a generic term for far-right movements, mostly Trump supporters. This movement aims at the "Second Civil War". That's Second American Civil War. In the United States, after the attack on the Diet by pro-Trump supporters on June 6, there were rallies by far-right forces in various places, and security officials remain on high alert. Biden's new administration aims for national reconciliation, but the divide is even more acute. The Civil War (1861-1865), which divided the country over the survival of slavery, began with Lincoln in the North, who claimed the abolition of slavery, served as President.

　On January 17, three days before the inauguration, the United States was in a disturbing air in spite of Sunday. In states such as Texas, Ohio, Utah, and Michigan, activists of "Boogaloo" with guns gathered in state capitals and other areas. According to the New York Times, national guardsmen were sent to state capitals in at least 19 states to be vigilant. There was no noticeable confusion, but tensions have spread across the U.S., with "Boogaloo" activists trying to occupy Congress at the state level.

　Boogaloo consists of pro-gun and anti-government groups, neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and anti-LGBT groups.

　　The word "Boogaloo" was born on the Internet writing site "4chan". The title of break dance-themed comedy musical film Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo, released in 1984, was amusingly used by contributors. It came to be used to express white supremacy and racism, and it came to show the entire far-right movement some time.

　"Boogaloo" activists are described as "Boogalooers" and "Boogaloo bois". There is no central figure in the movement. By exchanging information on the Internet, such as social media, individuals and organizations that have moderately "organized" and agreed have repeatedly participated in racist rallies against the black movement “Black Lives Matter” and rallies against lockdown to spread the new corona pandemic.

　The scale and viciousness of the crimes continues to grow, with the attempted kidnapping of Michigan's governor last October and the attack on the National Assembly committed by Boogaloo.

　What's serious is that some Republican politicians are moving to resonate with Boogaloo and widespread movement to communicate like a good-fighting thing.

　The Republican branch of St. Crois County, Wisconsin, adjacent to Minneapolis in Minnesota, dismissed the chapter's chairman, who wrote on the Internet in response to the national raid, "Prepare for war," according to the AP. The next chairman of the Michigan Republican Party and her husband, a member of the state legislature, were also involved in the creation of a site on the theme of civil war and total war. A senior Republican in Santa Clara County, California, took to social media to say, "The war has begun. Citizens, take your weapons."

　In the Republican Party, there are far-right conspiracy believers in the Diet. Marjorie Green, who was first elected to the Georgia electorate in last year's House election. In response to the House's resolution to prosecute Trump for the second impeachment, he wrote on Twitter that he would propose Biden's impeachment a day after he became president. Green was imposed a 12-hour ban from Twitter for violating ethics in other writings.

　President Trump, who is said to have instigated "Boogaloo," will leave Washington, the capital, on the 20th. He does not return to his hometown of New York, but lives in his own vacation home in Florida, Mar-a-Lago. He moved his residence to Florida two years ago before the presidential election.

　According to the official, living in Florida means transferring the profits from the business to Florida.

　But the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York (SDNY) and New York state judicial authorities are continuing to investigate Trump's financial dealings. Both federal and state double investigations are taking plenty of time to investigate the actual state of tax payments, the issue of stop fees for adult actress, and the uncertain spending issues of the inauguration in 2016.

　SDNY is one of the top prosecutors in the U.S. It is known as an investigating agency that "even a crying child shuts up". The investigation of intelligence criminal involving huge amounts of money is a thing of the hand, and it is feared so much that the New Yorker says, "If it is glared at here, it is sure to be made".

　The state is also full of motivated. State Attorney General Letitia James appeared on ABC TV's popular talk show "The View" last month and said she was confident that "Mr. Trump cannot avoid justice." State Attorney General James has examined 68 complaints against Trump's business over the past two years.

　Trump's daughter, Ivanka, and her husband, Kushner, will also not return to New York. They bought a 3 billion yen ultra-luxury house on Indian Creek Island, known as a luxury residential area in Florida. Trump’s eldest son and his girlfriend will also move to Jupiter, Florida. The Trump family has moved to Florida to escape New York.

　Whatever happens to Trump's departure, the FBI and others believe that the movement of far-right groups supporting Trump in raids on the Diet will intensify.

　Asked by the moderator about his support for Proud Boys, a far-right group in one corner of "Boogaloo" during last September's Presidential debate, Trump avoided blaming the group and said:

　「Stand back and Stand by」

　　The parliamentary raid proved that "Boogaloo" was true to Trump's words.
