Seriously? Attempted Trump assassination, July 13, 2024. The shooter, Thomas Matthew Crooks, was a registered Republican.
discredits the whole list IMO

#72Joe Biden, while he was POTUS, went on national television and proclaimed that "Extreme MAGA Republicans" were the greatest threat to our democracy. https://www.npr.org/2022/09/02/1120690193/bidens-speech-walk...
Apparently, not wrong.

#73Other than the Weather Underground, I'm having trouble thinking of left wing groups.
They're the only "recent" very active left wing group that I can think of that operated for a long period of time ... even then a pretty small group.

#74Since 1975, right-wing terrorists have killed 5.5x as many people as left-wing terrorists.

This is a very odd take and shows your media bubble. The real stats are 7-10x in favor of right wing violence. They have the title for most destructive with OKC bombing, frequency, body count, etc. All stats are at least an order of magnitude greater for right wing violence. It's even difficult to find examples of left violence. The famous examples provided are "BLM Riots" which were mostly peaceful protests against violence. It's all spin.

key word is domestic
It's still a massive cherry-pick. But I suppose it might depend on the point of the study. If the point is "what dangers should people in the US be worried about", then it's absolutely a cherry-pick. If international terrorists kill you, you're still just as dead. But if the point is "where should law enforcement focus its efforts", and if international terrorism is not the responsibility of the same people , then th…
In fact, that point of view is interesting because the argument for the police state since 9/11 is 'but domestic terrorists!' (although nowadays it's back to 'think of the children').
If domestic islamic terrorists aren't as active as everyone think, maybe we can do with less surveillance, no?
To be honest in my country, domestic islamic terrorism killed more than any other terrorism since 2014, and even more than police, and I still don't like the surveillance state we have, it's still to much.

I mean they tried to hang Pence, and killed some cops along the way. So yeah.

Obama, Biden, Hillary were all sent pipe bombs by Cesar Sayoc. The Paul Pelosi assailant was celebrated by people like Don Jr and Charlie Kirk.

#78> Elon Musk, who owns X, recently tweeted that he was going to “fix” the platform’s AI assistant Grok after it cited research that showed right-wing violence was more common than left-wing violence: “My apologies, we are fixing this cringe idiocy by Grok,” he said. I understand why it's hard to make AI that's accurate, but Musk's elite engineers can't even make it push a preferred narrative consistently. Sounds like…
Curious - which facts did Musk refute specifically that Grok had pointed out? I don't have a twitter account so I can't really go see this thread.

Jair Bolsonaro is still alive at least according to mainstream media, do you have any links to where he was killed in an assassination?
