This dude has an agenda.
There was a 2nd article he authored at the CFR site which worries about the rise of “white nationalist terrorism.”
Hoffman is obviously an operative, paid or true believer, pushing the Democrats’ current gaslighting tactic, which is to demonize their political opponents as domestic terrorists, then use that to strip them of free speech, press, jobs, and sometimes liberty. This is also their tactic to keep racial minorities from voting with “conservatives”. For the past couple of years, the FBI/DoJ has made us all laugh by declaring “white nationalist terrorism” to be the nation’s biggest threat, ignoring the thousands slain annually via non-white career criminals (evidently to the FBI, black lives do not matter). Expect the FBI to self-fulfill their prophecy by making “white nationalism” the prime theme for agent provocateur ops.
