According to a study conducted by the Center for Strategic and Intelligence Studies, right wing militia groups represent the single largest domestic threat in the United States. This has also been looked at by the Southern Poverty Law Center, the Anti-Defamation League and George Washington University. The CSIS study looked back over the last 25 years and found that no other group represented a larger threat and that included religious extremism. If one considers what is happening in Portland, Oregon, Kenosha, Wisconsin, Minneapolis, Minnesota and elsewhere, it highlights part of what is happening. Also, considering the language that is being used regarding some of these groups and the general philosophy, it is likely to get worse. It also seems to be encouraged by the likes of President Trump himself who not that long ago was more than willing to call right wing extremist in Charlottesville, Virginia, “good guys .” I will appear on Voice of American International Edition to discuss.
