Patterns of Terror

You know, it's funny — we keep being told about all those Evil Muslim Terrorists seeking to destroy our country from within (with extra bonus points for Evil Muslim Terrorists Sneaking In From Mexico).

And yet, when it comes to it, what we seem to keep running across are are domestic right-wing white nationalist terrorists. Like this dude.

'While searching Hasson’s suburban Maryland home, investigators found a number of files on his computer suggesting that Hasson planned to target members of Congress and media figures in the hopes of creating a “white homeland.”

“Liberalist/globalist ideology is destroying traditional peoples esp white,” Hasson wrote in a draft email, according to court documents. “No way to counteract without violence. It should push for more crack down bringing more people to our side. Much blood will have to be spilled to get whitey off the couch.”

Hasson referred to his targets as “traitors,” and appears to have named figures such as Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), former Rep. Beto O’Rourke (D-Texas), MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough and Hillary Clinton’s former campaign chairman, John Podesta. He appeared to find inspiration in Russia for its antipathy toward American liberalism, and his browser history revealed searches including “what if trump illegally impeached” and “civil war if trump impeached,” according to the court filing.

“Looking to Russia with hopeful eyes or any land that despises the west’s liberalism. Excluding of course the muslim scum. Who rightfully despise the west’s liberal degeneracy,” Hasson wrote in a draft email according to the filings.'

Huh. Hating liberals, Democrats, Muslims, MSNBC journalists, but looking to Russia for inspiration. How the heck does that happen here in the US?
