Super Happy Fun America has links to white nationalist individuals and organizations. The organization has been said to dog whistlewhite nationalists and alt-rightists, utilizing terms such as "western culture" and relating them not only to heterosexuality but to Caucasians and traditional values. Super Happy Fun America overlaps considerably with the Boston chapter of Resist Marxism, a far-right organization known for organizing the controversial 2017 Boston Free Speech Rally. Two of SHFA's founders, Mark Sahady and Samson Racioppi, are organizers for Resist Marxism; the third founder, John Hugo, was endorsed by Resist Marxism during his 2018 Congressional campaign. The Daily Beast has described Super Happy Fun America as a front for Resist Marxism.
Super Happy Fun America organized the August 31, 2019 Straight Pride Parade in Boston, Massachusetts, an event they described as "a response to the 'identity politics' of the left." The event attracted several hundred participants and thousands of counter-protesters, who vastly outnumbered participants of the parade. Thirty-four counter-protesters were arrested at the event. Boston city councilorMichelle Wu suggested that police tactics and choice of equipment raised tensions between police and counter-protesters. On February 22, 2020, Super Happy Fun America held a rally outside of the Boston Police headquarters. Organizers said the rally was intended to thank police for arresting counter-protesters at the August 2019 parade, and to show support for a recent deployment of U.S. Customs and Border Protection immigration officers to Boston. The rally was again outnumbered by counter-protesters, who said they wished to expose SHFA's ties with white nationalism. The rally ended two hours before schedule, and no arrests were made.
2020 Liberty Rally
Super Happy Fun America named themselves as one of the hosts of the "Liberty Rally", an anti-lockdown protest held at the Massachusetts State House on May 4, 2020. The several hundred protesters who participated gathered to call for an end to the stay-at-home advisory and business closures that had been implemented to try to slow the spread of COVID-19 in Massachusetts. Protesters largely ignored physical distancing guidelines to stand six feet apart and to cover their noses and mouths.
