Donald Trump Green Lights White Supremacist Terror Attacks on Americans

In April 1995, white Christianist extremist Timothy McVeigh left a bomb outside the Alfred P. Murrah building that would level a federal building in Oklahoma City, causing 168 deaths, including that of 19 small children in the building's daycare center.

According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, who tracks extremist domestic terror groups, that triggered a new error of emboldened action in White Supremacist groups across the United States.   In the following 20 years, they have sought ever more prominent targets and a higher body count than McVeigh.   It is only the attention of the federal government in squashing these terrorist cells that have prevent another such attack.







So why, exactly, has Donald Trump and his adminstration signaled the end of their attempt to squash out the Christofascist aspect of rightwing America, by removing white supremacists from the list of individuals targeted by federal agencies responsible for preventing domestic terrorism?

Is it the incorrect belief that white supremacists are not responsible for a majority of terrorist attacks in the United States?  Per New America, a Washington research institute, white supremacists have killed TWICE as many Americans as radicalized Muslims since the attacks of 9/11.

Or is it a far more unsettling implication?  Is this a tacit nod of approval to the extreme right that made up his voting base, the KKK, the American Nazi Party?  Is it a way of saying that those who commit Christofascist terrorism on US soil do not have to fear prosecution by the federal government?

Regardless of motivation, the results will be the same; without the attention of the federal government, white supremacists, whether they be organized members of the American Nazi Party or the KKK, or so called 'lone wolf' christofascists, are in a new era of unscrutinized criminal activities, and have essentially been invited by the Trump Administration to attack American citizens unchecked.
