Atacks by far-left extremists outpaced far-right violence this year according to new research from the Center for Strategic & International Studies.
QuoteLeft-wing terror attacks are on track to reach a record high this year — as Democrats have been accused of ramping up their harmful rhetoric in their opposition to the Trump administration, a disturbing new study has found.
Researchers noted that the increase in left-wing violence since President Trump first took office in 2016 has been largely motivated by anti-government extremism or partisan extremism.
Since then, "all left-wing attacks through July 4, 2025, appeared to be motivated by one of these ideologies," the study found, noting that Kirk's fatal shooting appears to fit the pattern.
Kirk's alleged killer, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, scrawled "Hey fascist, catch this" on a shell casing before shooting him dead on Sept. 10, law enforcement officials said.
The CSIS study stated the rise in left-wing violence this year can be explained "as opposition to the Trump administration fuels attacks against both its political leadership and the state institutions that carry out its agenda."
The study notes immigration has also emerged as a major issue this year, highlighted by this week's attack at an ICE detention center in Dallas — which Trump blamed on the rhetoric from "radical left Democrats."
After alleged anti-ICE sniper Joshua Jahn shot three detainees before taking his own life in Dallas on Wednesday, the FBI discovered a hand-written notes found at Jahn's residence that accused ICE agents of "human trafficking."
That same language was used by Democratic Florida Rep. Maxwell Frost, who accused ICE of "kidnapping people" and "human trafficking," in June.
In July, the White House urged Dems to "tone down" their critiques of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), but many have continued.
Just this week, California Gov. Gavin Newsom appeared on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" and slammed ICE as a "private domestic army" being used to bolster the Trump admin's "authoritarian tendencies."
Minnesota Gov. and former Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz has referred to the agency as a "modern-day Gestapo."
Far-left "Squad" Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) earlier this month described Trump's Washington, DC, crime crackdown as a "fascist takeover."
And even before losing the 2024 election, former Vice President Kamala Harris agreed that Trump was a "fascist" when she was asked on the campaign trail.

How they determine what are political terror acts is misleading. Kyle Rittenhouse defending himself is political terror even though he had no manifesto and did not shoot 3 people because of their politics.
A "suspicious device" was detonated by law enforcement at Utah State University on Tuesday afternoon prior to the first Turning Point USA event in the state since Charlie Kirk was assassinated.
A violent intolerant leftist is held accountable for his actions.

No political insult gets thrown around more recklessly these days than "fascist." The word has been gutted of meaning, reduced to a club progressives swing at President Trump and people like Stephen Miller and the late Charlie Kirk. Democrats and their media allies casually smear conservatives as extremists who follow the "fascist playbook."
Joe Biden himself dragged the rhetoric to a new low. In September 2022, standing in front of Liberty Hall in Philadelphia, he declared that "MAGA Republicans" are extremists and enemies of democracy.
"They embrace anger," Biden thundered. "They thrive on chaos. They live not in the light of truth, but in the shadow of lies." Weeks earlier, at a fundraiser in Maryland, he even called the MAGA movement "semi-fascist."
Say what you want about Trump's sharp elbows in politics, but he never demonized American voters as enemies of the republic. Biden did — and Democrats have repeated the smear ever since. The question is: What happens to a country when its leaders brand millions of citizens "fascists"?
The goals of the MAGA movement are plain: Protect natural rights, foster prosperity, expand energy access, secure the border, reduce crime, preserve domestic peace, and pursue a foreign policy rooted in prudence. These aims hardly resemble fascism. Yet defenders of liberty now find themselves caricatured as authoritarians.

What progs are doing is causing all this left wing violence. I guess that is why they are calling everybody that disagrees with their bullshit fascists.
