But not its continued influence – not yet. Meanwhile, it's having a resurgence; white supremacist violence is the biggest form of domestic terrorism, and even the President was revoking anti-discrimination legislation as of last week (not in the sensible way that would've had benefits elsewhere, but in the impulsive "I don't like this" way).
