    No u.

    Here, I’ll give you a head start:

    University of Maryland Department of Criminology and Criminal Justice

    our analysis shows that right-wing actors are significantly more violent than left-wing actors
    the probability of a violent act of extremism in the United States being committed by a left-wing extremist was found to be 0.33, 0.61 by a right-wing extremist, and 0.62 by an Islamist extremist.

    You’ll notice that’s double the incidents from the right vs the left.

    Military Times, which no one could reasonably claim has any liberal bias

    But terrorism carried out by right-wing actors eclipsed that of leftist movements in the 1990s … Now, government agencies and scholars across the political spectrum agree that far-right movements have caused most of the political violence in the U.S. over the past few years – and present the most dangerous threat today.

    West Point Combating Terrorism Center – and again, West Point can hardly be called liberal

    Accelerationist ideology, conspiracy theories, disinformation, and far-right extremist narratives have played a key role in the prioritization of critical infrastructure as a target for the violent far-right. The intersections of these ideologies and narratives have led to complex attacks on power grids and the targeting of telecommunications systems by far-right extremists. The increased focus and attacks on critical infrastructure by far-right extremists has the potential to wreak extensive, multifaceted societal disruption and damage, impacting communications, the economy, mobility, and basic human necessities.

    Can you provide legitimate, unbiased sources for your claims? Because all the data says you’re being lied to.
