White supremacists behind majority of US domestic terror attacks in 2020

Back in the 2000s, my college was holding a tech panel to connect students to prospective employers. The FBI was part of that panel. I'd always wanted to get into defense because at the time, this country had a defense budget that grew year after year until Obama was in office. I saw it as steady employment where I could exercise the privilege of being an American citizen with a clean record (as is necessary for security clearance like TS and DOE Q).

I remember the FBI guy lamenting the fact that the FBI was losing bids to DHS for all kinds of stuff and how the FBI was seriously lacking in manpower at the time.

Before the DHS, domestic terrorists were almost exclusively an FBI (and usually ATF thing). The thing was that their caseload never decreased and the DHS wasn't doing nearly enough to curb the spread of domestic terrorism... like the Michigan Militias.

This was nearly 20 years ago. I hope that dudes' retired and not around to see this shitshow.
