Fun fact: The Obama administration scaled back it's efforts into tracking violent right wing extremism after DHS released a report saying that these groups were attempting to recruit more military veterans!
So called liberals have always been spineless when it comes to cracking down on right wing extremism while conservatives love ramping it up.
Hell the Greensboro massacre, where Klansmen and Neonazis shot and killed 5 communist demonstrators while an FBI agent was embedded in the the Neonazis ranks, happened under Jimmy Carter! And next to nothing was done to counter these people.
Just look at the rise of the militia movement and the rise of the Bundy Clan, the growth of right wing street fighting movements, the growth of white supremacist gangs within police departments, and a host of other disgusting things.
The US government has rarely thought it useful to go after right wing elements within the US (and abroad) but you bet your ass they'll repress, kill, slander, and surveil any left wing groups that may pop up.

Just STFU with this bullshit.
It was the Republicans lost their shit when that report came out, and it was the Republicans that fired that guy and nuked his entire department once they had a majority in Congress again.
Republicans have been slashing funding for any and all investigations into right wing extremism ever since our intelligence agencies started saying right wing extremism was our greatest domestic threat, about 25 years ago.

Right. The bombing by Right-wing terrorists of the Oklahoma City Federal Building was 1995. Just seven years later In 2002, the FBI said the number one domestic terrorist threat in the US was from "Eco-terrorism."
The GOP has always considered right-wing terrorists as their own, and at the very least has been hands-off and at the worst has quietly supported them. And now, here we are.

The former editor of Christianity Today [has related stories of congregants complaining to their pastors that the Sermon on the Mount was too woke:](https://www.npr.org/2023/08/05/1192374014/russell-moore-on-altar-call-for-evangelical-america)
> pastors [told] me essentially the same story about quoting the Sermon on the Mount parenthetically in their preaching - turn the other cheek - to have someone come up after and to say, where did you get those liberal talking points? And what was alarming to me is that in most of these scenarios, when the pastor would say, I'm literally quoting Jesus Christ, the response would not be, I apologize. The response would be, yes, but that doesn't work anymore. That's weak. And when we get to the point where the teachings of Jesus himself are seen as subversive to us, then we're in a crisis.

If they don't believe in Jesus teachings they have 2 options, to consider themselves as Jews and ignore the New Testament, or consider Jesus as just a prophet and, thus, convert to Islam.

Right - a lot of us think the pastors are leading their flock astray, but the dynamic more often is that the flock puts pressure on the pastor regarding what they want to hear and how they want to be preached to else the congregation walks and takes their tithes to a more politically palatable alternate.

For years, MAGA just preclaimed to be Catholic while completely ignoring any of the teachings of the religion. Anytime people would question them, they would hand wave some reason why its okay. Now the actual Pope is following those teachings and not allowing them to hand wave their way out of it, they go on the offensive.
