The Department of Homeland Security warned in October, "violent white supremacy was the most persistent and lethal threat in the homeland and white supremacists were the most deadly among domestic terrorists in recent years." https://www.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/publications/2020_10_06_homeland-threat-assessment.pdf

If you believe that the true threat is antifa or BLM, can you explain why, please?

True Threat? All three espouse violence, anti-Americanism and are a threat to the Republic.

Where is the threat? Look at who is rioting and setting buildings on fire

Because the White Supremacists and the Proud Boys are the left hand of the Right.
Anybody who doesn't agree with the PTBS, the status quo, our oligarchies, are "BAD".

Americans today are watching the BLM demonstrations on TV and have been witnessing the handiwork of “trained Marxists” practicing their agenda. These hair-trigger harpies screaming obscenities in the faces of police officers attempting to keep the peace, the masked bullies yanking down statues of historical figures, the hooded guerrillas hurling Molotov cocktails, all are putting their Marxist ideology into action.

Black Lives Matter was founded by community organizers. One of the three co-founders said in 2015 that she and another co-founder “are trained Marxists.”.....We actually do have an ideological frame,” Cullors said. “Myself and Alicia are particularly trained organizers — we are trained Marxists. We are super versed on ideological theories…”

Hard to dismiss their agenda and it has nothing to do with helping blacks. If they were they would be leading the charge in Chicago to stop the black carnage. Enough for me to discount absolutely everything and anything BLM does or even stands for because its definitely not American.

As for ANTIFA Linda....are ANTIFA Terrorists? Feds Have Reportedly Classified Their Activities as 'Domestic Terrorist Violence.' Newly disclosed documents show authorities believed "anarchist extremists" were the main cause of violence at a number of public rallies. A confidential 2016 joint intelligence assessment by DHS and the FBI blamed the ANTIFA for attacks on a wide range of targets, including police, government institutions and symbols of "the capitalist system."

Law enforcement officials have apparently been taken aback by the swift rise of the ANTIFA, about which they still have much to learn, and have struggled to come up with an organized response.

Yes Linda, Like BLM, ANTIFA is just as dangerous as far far right extremist groups, not a dimes worth of difference and they should be discredited at every turn..

Proud boys are not to be associated with white supremacy. I went to one of there rallies in Portland at
Shrunk plaza. They had speakers of all colors, sexes, faiths give speeches of loving your fellow man thru god.
Had a gay and then a transgendered person give the best speeches. All the while surrounded antifa shouting death threats. Accosting people that dared walk outside of the roped off federal park.
Proud boys are nice people defending themselves from hoodlum paid for scum anti-Americans...

I guess it depends on the source: The Proud Boys is a far-right,[2][3] neo-fascist[4] and male-only[5] political organization[6] that promotes and engages in political violence in the United States and Canada.[7][8][9][10][11] While the group claims to reject racism, several members have been affiliated with white supremacy, and the Proud Boys has been described by US intelligence organisations as "a dangerous white supremacist group."

Please don't think I believe everything I read on the internet, especially Wikipedia 😊

This is a little hard to follow, especially since I am not familiar with the acronym PTBS. Google didn't help.

The dime's worth of difference appears when one is claiming to be a patriot. Extremism from the right is often ignored by those who condemn extremism on the left. Just another example of how divided our country is and how difficult it is to listen to each other.

Thanks for commenting, folks.

Yep, there you go... If you get a chance go to one of their events and see for what they are yourself. I only watch live events now on tv to avoid the opinion/narrative news and hear/see what is actually said. Great post. Cheers.

However you must remember the reverse is also true, its not a one-way street.....'extremism from the left is often ignored by those who condemn extremism on the right.' Dimes difference? Nah, in fact there is no difference. The 'Left' fails to ever condemn ANTIFA/BLM and the massive destruction caused by them. Yes the country is divided and it will not unite for the foreseeable future.

Here:
On Sept. 7, 2020, four days after police shot and killed a self-declared anti-fascist activist in Washington state as they moved in to arrest him on suspicion he had fatally shot a right-wing counter protester in Portland, Oregon, Biden condemned Antifa in an interview with Pennsylvania NBC News affiliate WGAL (here). Asked by reporter Barbara Barr, “Do you condemn Antifa?” Biden responded, “Yes I do—violence no matter who it is.”

Now see how easy that was

September 29, 2020....Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden defended far-left anarchist movement Antifa as “an idea, not an organization” and said white supremacists pose a greater danger to the country during the first presidential debate on Tuesday night.

Yet the FBI is investigating ANTIFA as a Domestic Terror group.

Seems ALL politicians speak out of both sides of their lying mouths...then again with Dementia, maybe he just forgot.
