1. The threat of the insurrectionist right remains real. Yet this clip, on a network Trump has appeared on, shows the limits of a counter-terrorism approach. This isn't a hidden network; it's an out-in-the-open political movement advocating violence.https://twitter.com/willsommer/status/1407925243000365057 …
