Why Republicans won’t allow the term “right wing extremist terrorist”

There have been more than 100 right-wing terrorist plots in the USA since the Oklahoma City bombing.

Right-wing and terrorist are not permitted to be used together in a sentence because of the Republican Party’s sensitivity to right-ring terrorist usage. That’s because the Republican Party base are right wing extremists. So right-wing extremists who act out violently are labeled crazy people and not right-wing extremist terrorists.

The Obama Administration actually scrapped its Department of Homeland Security right-wing extremism intelligence unit because of Republican pressure:

“The obvious danger from radical-right domestic terrorism makes it all the more galling that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has largely given up its efforts to monitor such threats. In April 2009, the department released a report, “Right-wing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment ^[16],” warning of possible violence from racists, radical antigovernment types and others. The report was prescient; within a few month of its release two major domestic terrorist attacks took place. But that didn’t stop conservative analysts from savaging the report after it was leaked shortly after its release. 

It was one thing for the right-wing media to savage the report; what was truly shocking was DHS’s reaction. The department ended up gutting its non-Islamic domestic extremism intelligence unit, which had been led since its inception by veteran intelligence analyst Daryl Johnson. Johnson recently talked ^[17] to the SPLC about how the DHS bowed to the political pressure and basically abandoned its role in protecting the country from radical-right threats (The Washington Post provided further evidence here ^[18]). 

‘My greatest fear is that domestic extremists in this country will somehow become emboldened to the point of carrying out a mass-casualty attack, because they perceive that no one is being vigilant about the threat from within,” Johnson told SPLC referring to the fact that DHS is out of the non-Islamic domestic terrorism business. “That is what keeps me up at night.”

I think the primary reason that we have not had another large scale attack like the Oklahoma City bombing is because the extreme right wing in the USA is a part of our governments across the board in most of the USA including our local Chester County governments. 

Republicans are losing ground and they know it. They are fighting a defensive war on Democrats. The Republican Party is using desperate procedures like taking the worldwide economy hostage to get what they want. They are trying to rig elections in every state in the union. If they lose that war I think their right wing extremist base will erupt violently.
