Last night, on the @MehdiHasanShow, I gave my top 5 reasons why I believe the far right domestic terror threat is more dangerous than even Al Qaeda after 9/11.
At number 5:
Al Qaeda didn't have cable news channels endorsing its world view.

Al Qaeda didn't have the president of the United States or his daughter inciting them, or praising them during the attacks as "special people" and "American Patriots":

At number 3:
Al Qaeda wasn't umbilically connected to the U.S. conservative moment and the GOP; didn't have sympathizers in the House GOP caucus who spoke at its rallies and offered cover for them.

At number 2:
Al Qaeda hadn't successfully infiltrated U.S. law enforcement and even the military in the run-up to 9/11. None of the 19 hijackers were off-duty cops or veterans.

And the number 1 reason why Al Qaeda was not as much a danger as these #MAGAterrorists are is because... Al Qaeda wasn't white. We take the threat from brown men with big beards much more seriously than the threat from white guys. Hence the Capitol attack.
