All they can do now is be an irritant to America rather than a true threat. What they can do is that they can explore existing racial and ethnic¹⁵ tentions. They can explore the distrust that Americans have in institutional like government and media. They are an assaultary entity¹⁶ can not gain truncheon when getting members.
