    that's because libs think of conservatives and conservatives think of libs as a threat to their way of life, not because people see white supremacists as a threat. some do obviously, but i'd argue it is not over half of the people who see other americans as a threat

      Bingo, and white supremacists = non-establishmentarian "alt-right" conservatives in the current lingo, which is what Greenwald is talking about. Let's not kid ourselves here, there has never been a serious threat to American power felt in the popular imaginary since the fall of the Soviet Union, so naturally the big threats are gonna be domestic. China may be growing, but it consistently keeps to itself.
