      Is it? They openly let extremists into the highest rank of government, espouse their hate on TV, infiltrate the ranks of law enforcement, etc.

      What makes you think they’ll actually stop the people who need to be stopped?

        The reason people are being radicalized online via video game communities and social media, etc. is because up until now nothing has been done. Finally the threat is being addressed.

          And my point is they won’t go after the violent right wing radicals, because they don’t do they elsewhere already.

          This will be used to go after “extremist” anarchists or something, instead of the alt-right. You cannot trust the police to be doing the right thing here.

            When have we as a society recently fixed the actual problem, and not the symptom? This is pretty on brand.

            I think you’re wrong, and that there hasn’t been an actual effort until very recently. But it’s okay to disagree. ( To be clear, I don’t disagree about being skeptical of cops - they haven’t earned it yet)
