We should be on guard against the threat because our biggest terrorist attack was from a white supremacist.

Gay men call themselves “proud boys” to reappropriate the name form the Nazis. They have done this on the internet to use the phrase non hatefully.

How exactly did "proud boys" become an alt-right meme anyway?

It's considered unconstitutional to ban domestic groups or label them as terrorists in the US per NAACP v. Alabama. The US only has a list of foreign terrorist organizations.

How long before the Thomas court reverses it and allows states to ban Planned Parenthood, DSA and LGBT organisations?

Unlikely because then blue states could start banning conservative groups too and the Biden Admin could designate the Proud Boys as terrorist, etc.

The courts could easily strike those ban notices down and the fact of the matter is that the next Administration will not be from the Democrats.
