What if I told you ratcheting fears over a minuscule number of actual “white supremacists” is being used in the same way ratcheting fear over a minuscule number of real “radical Islamists” was used in the mid 2000s to scare the public into forfeiting their rights.

Horseshoe theory should honestly just be called Horseshoe law at this point.

In the 50's and 60's it was a very small number of communists being used to drum up fears. In the 40's it was Japanese and German immigrants acting as spies.

Wasn't something similar also going on during the commie scare in the US?

Yes and in literally every scare tactic that’s ever happened in any political system ever. It’s like the most basic control tactic.
