So the party thing is a red herring that distracts from the hate filled words that have filled the airways that bring out the kooks, some of whom are actually a-political. The scary thing for our security professionals will be tracking and dealing with the folks who aren't extreme for the right or the left, but are simply anti-establishment now. Much of the current table-thumping rhetoric is skewed to the idea that government has failed and/or been taken over by evil aliens, the economy has failed, social order is about to break down, etc. The most extreme nuts will lash out anywhere they can if/when they perceive threats coming at them from all directions.

I agree with this is you are talking about membership. But something different is at stake: which elements of which party are inflaming the kooks right now. It's very clear, in both instances, that it's folk of the further right, not the further left.
