As I said at the start of the thread:

A summary statement of long-term and recent trends is:

The data show three notable trends. First, right-wing attacks and plots accounted for the majority of all terrorist incidents in the United States since 1994. In particular, they made up a large percentage of incidents in the 1990s and 2010s. Second, the total number of right-wing attacks and plots has grown substantially during the past six years. In 2019, for example, right-wing extremists perpetrated nearly two-thirds of the terrorist attacks and plots in the United States, and they committed over 90 percent of the attacks and plots between January 1 and May 8, 2020. Third, although religious extremists were responsible for the most fatalities because of the 9/11 attacks, right-wing perpetrators were responsible for more than half of all annual fatalities in 14 of the 21 years during which fatal attacks occurred.

Results are shown in graphic form here:



The takeaway point of all this is that in recent years, the major - and rapidly growing - domestic terrorist threat in the US comes from right-wing groups. This may come as a surprise to people who have formed views on these questions some time ago, and have not since then updated them. But, to adapt a famous saying "when the facts change, one's opinions should change too".

This is about the big numbers. I am quite sure that if DrC trawls Youtube carefully enough, he will find a black granny strangling a little blond girl's pet white rabbit, cackling evilly "Hey! Only black rabbits' lives matter, honky bitch!"

Bring it on!

But you know what? That won't change the evidence that shows right wing violence, not the left, being the major present threat of domestic terrorism in the US. But if it makes DrC feel better, be my guest!

That's technically assault, but I was - I don't know - expecting hands to be thrown. Instead it was pure peacocking nonsense. Dude's fighting stance was hilarious, though. Just begging to be knocked out.

His "wassup" intimidation tactic was straight out of Night at the Roxbury.

The President of the United States called BLM a "symbol of hate" today and encouraged police to go rogue and use their force against their lawfully elected leadership to prevent it from being painted on a road.

Easy to dismiss as the President is cray-cray, but this doesn't stop being distributing and a warning sign of autocratic collapse within the US.

Trump's rhetoric about left-wing anarchists and his deployment of DHS federal personnel to 'save' Portland and other places gives this thread renewed relevance.

Here's a news item from today:

Anti-fascists linked to zero murders in the US in 25 years
As Trump rails against ‘far-left’ fascism, new database shows leftwing attacks have left far fewer people dead than violence by rightwing extremists

The article begins:

Donald Trump has made warnings about the threat of antifa and “far-left fascism” a central part of his re-election campaign. But in reality leftwing attacks have left far fewer people dead than violence by rightwing extremists, new research indicates, and antifa activists have not been linked to a single murder in decades.

A new database of nearly 900 politically motivated attacks and plots in the United States since 1994 includes just one attack staged by an anti-fascist that led to fatalities. In that case, the single person killed was the perpetrator.

Over the same time period, American white supremacists and other rightwing extremists have carried out attacks that left at least 329 victims dead, according to the database.

The whole piece is well worth reading.

If Donald Trump loses the election and refuses to step down, we might see anti-tank missiles and cannons loaded on the back of pickup trucks. All those stockpiled weapons in compounds across America might be trained on those so-called "freedom-loving lefties". Coups are not just for Central and South America. The smell of mint juleps from the New Confederacy could be in the air and orders could be issued from the new capitol at Mar-a-Lago.

.. refuses to step down...

I understand that this is a popular fantasy among the libtarded, but exactly how does one imagine this gets accomplished in this country? Especially since election results are the "step down". Is someone really believing that Trump will hide the keys to the White House?

(and the irony is not lost on how Libtards, who refuse to accept the results of the 2016 election, are terrified that Trump won't accept the results of the 2020 election )
