This is true. And truly frightening and concerning.
That said, it does matter who is president! Look at the article from Foreign Policy I just linked to, in which the FBI and DHS warned about this growing threat months ago. The US has experienced several periods of growing right wing extremism all within the past 50 years, and I am sure federal law enforcement has a rich history of investigating and prosecuting these folks. I am not sure how much direct influence the White House has on the scope and zeal of these efforts, but I would imagine it could make a big difference.
