Of course many right-wing extremists, alt-rightists and Trumpists say they are "anti-establishment." So are many conspiracy theorists. I think by looking at their ideologies we can sort them out into right and left, and left is always progressive and thus the real anti-establishment. But once the anti-establishment has some power, then those who want to reestablish the old reactionary rule are "anti-establishment."
According to the wikipedia article boogaloo appears to be a new group, or a new term, adding to the emerging potential of the violent right-wing resistance to a left or liberal government, which may go further left in the progressive 2020s and enact anti-racist and anti-gun policies. Some boogaloo groups appear to be anti-racist themselves, however.
And certainly their pro-gun stance is as right-wing and "pro-establishment" as it gets. But, perhaps Bob would disagree on that point, which might make him not so convinced in his opinion that they can be lumped together with the Republicans. But they are clearly of similar mind to the Trump fans who have taken over that Party today, and I have no problem lumping many of them together. Their libertarian and anarchist opinions also fit in with the Republican Party, but violence against society may not appeal to many establishment conservatives.
