>We take legal action against perpetrators based on the crimes commit, not what crimes we think they may commit in the future.
The US legal code includes many crimes of conspiracy, especially for terrorism. That is in fact how most terrorists are caught. Most white supremacist organizing falls under this category.
We don't allow ISIS recruiters to use social media, but white supremacists have their own dedicated social network servers (e.g., Gab). We don't allow terror training camps, but white supremacist militias gather openly to practice their technique. The FBI regularly sends undercover agents into the mosques of middle class middle eastern neighborhoods to make sure people there aren't being taught radical Islam, but it's virtually expected for rural christian churches to preach reactionary hate. You can see these ideas on mainstream television, even. https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=Hk-TLXKlubk
And no, especially after Jan 6th, I am most certainly not in the "minority of minorities" here.
There's absolutely a double standard applied and their continued recruitment and armament is a threat to democracy and a peaceful society.
