That is, within the context of the United States.
Recent months have shown growing right wing, white supremacist extremism within America. There is much documented evidence that routine hate speech, such as open support of neo-Nazism, genocide of minority peoples, and support for white secessionism have contributed an atmosphere of pushing the most extremist elements of those movements towards hate crimes. The most prominent example is perhaps what happened at Charlottesville. More troubling still, these extremist right movements have only grown year after year, despite public umbrage and ostracism. Many Western European countries and Canada have tough anti-hate speech laws. Could America possibly counter its own extreme anti-minority movements more effectively by burrowing these laws from Europe and Canada, but make tit tougher as well?
