The FBI and DOJ have always felt comfortable going after Islamic extremists.

But going after domestic extremists means going after people who have joined groups like the Proud Boys, Oath Keepers , and the Three Percenters.

Terrorgram Collective is cross-pollinated by long-known Nazi groups like Atomwaffen .

The government has the power to tackle domestic extremists who are willing to commit violence against their fellow Americans .

Of course, the new problem is the old problem: this new form of equality (I guess?) basically doubles the chances more people (and not just the brown ones!) will become victims of the entrapment the FBI likes to call “counter-terrorism.”.
