Ku Klux Klan?!? QAnon? There are plenty of extremists groups with varying number of members and activities.[1]
The US has also plenty of domestic terrorism [2] the majority was committed by right-wing or religious (christian + muslim) extremism.
Most 'modern' terrorists are also self organized+radicalized. Social media and access to more and more extremist content plays a crucial role in their radicalization process.
