      And that they would be mostly right-wing folks, which has generally been true, in part because the bush administration deprioritized going after them.

        There’s a scene in Justified and similar in some other shows in the years after 9/11. Marshalls are looking for help on some homegrown organized crime types and the FBI tell them “sorry boys if it ain’t about turbans or bombs in the sand we don’t have the money or time.”

        We just sorta never stopped that after 20 years occupying and bombing the wrong country and now we have a goddamn nazi infestation again
