Too often, the prevalence of right wing domestic terrorism in the US gets ignored. The Oklahoma City bombing, Dylann Roof, anti-abortion violence, and the Orlando nightclub shooting just to name a few. As far back as 1870, the KKK was formally considered to be a terrorist organization. Lynching is considered a terrorist act.
