I'm convinced you're a bot, but sure, here's an exhaustively researched article with a relevant quote from the article
https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/right-wing-extremist-violence-is-more-frequent-and-deadly-than-left-wing-violence-data-shows
"By contrast, left-wing extremist incidents, including those tied to anarchist or environmental movements, have made up about 10% to 15% of incidents and less than 5% of fatalities."
Oh hey. Another bullshit study. Easy hint, they leave out the Party for Socialism and Liberation guy from Illinois, and the shootings (several) against immigration officers/facilities. I'm sure they're not counting the guy who shot charlie kirk, despite that he 100% did it for trans reasons. They also count the OKC bombing as right wing to fudge the numbers, but leave out all the weather underground bombings in the decade before that.
Ah, the MAGAts never cease to amaze
No seriously, these studies seem like an excuse to bury your head in the sand. And they really DO leave out some notable, and high profile incidents, which I think is solid proof that they are garbage.
