The database is supported by the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism (START), affiliated with the University of Maryland.
“A Quartz analysis of the database shows that almost two-thirds of terror attacks in the (United States) last year were tied to racist, anti-Muslim, homophobic, anti-Semitic, fascist, anti-government, or xenophobic motivations,” its posting says.

No surprise....the Right-Wing EXTREMISTS have always been bigoted-racist, hate-mongering SCUM!
And the definition of right wing is? And is that definition fluid or not?

And who says all those things you mentioned are "right wing"?

And those are attacks, what about deaths and damage from attacks? Who leads in that?

If you get to paint everyone with a broad brush, do you then agree with those who for example paint Muslims and illegals with such a broad brush?

The Right Wing is against the political interests of minorities of people, who in turn are against the sociopolitical interests of the Right Wing that represents the majority-plurality population's interests in every country.

In other words, the Right Wing is for their basic self-interest as all groups are.

No need to reframe like children, relying on shallow communist-styled vocabulary meant to create emotion rather than thought. Look to the fruits of the communists to see what you are promoting.

Your tack reeks of detestable propaganda. Propagandists create social division and chaos. That's their essence. Again, see communist history.

If you hate the political interests of the majority, in any nation, you are simply a subverter of nations who wishes to usurp power from those who currently hold it.

The same as any land thief, no more and no less. That's the only possible end-motivation for subverting the social interests of the majority.

Your post appears to negate the idea that the right wing is the party of spreading bigotry and fear. If that is not what you meant to convey maybe it is not that your typing is too fast but that your thinking and self-expression is the contrary.

I don't need to catch on. I know that the radical right wing is filled to the brim with Christian Taliban hate spewing fascists and white supremacists.

"Psychology today" does not pass muster as a politically neutral publication: which would be a prerequisite to credible research. The fact that the research has such an obvious political target further discredits it.

FYI, the soft science fields like psychology and sociology are notoriously politically corrupt, which is understandable given that their science is so incredibly murky and prone to extreme interpretive license. You may as well be quoting the National Teachers Union Magazine.

Finally, so-called "researchers" from these soft sciences are generally people that weren't smart enough to earn degrees in hard sciences. The psychology field, in-particular and with the exception for a couple of very specific sub-specialties, is notoriously filled with every manner of PD patient who became intensely interested in the mis-wirings in their brain and eventually earned a degree. The field is a circus, in general, reflecting the general menagerie of the democrats. Someone who would put their name on the line to publish such laughable "science" as this, for a political cause, is reflective of that generally lower quality in the field.

Though, such an article does make perfect click-bait for emotional democrats looking for something to cling to. I'll give them that, in the age wherein clicks are significant revenue. They've got your number. Consider Psychology Today to be the Buzzfeed of the vaguely-academic world.

It's a well-established fact that the most prolific terrorists in this country are not Muslims or immigrants; they're angry white men with assault rifles. Same as this most recent one in Pittsburgh.

So a leftist cherry picks some stats to blame the right for everything that's happened, but takes no responsibility for the inciteful rhetoric that comes out their main blabbermouths, including Queen Bee Hillary.

That the OP can even post this crap and think it's serious and truthful just shows how pathetic the liberals have become.

Hey, last three mass terrorist events of the week...one guy who hated liberals, one guy who hated blacks, one guy who hated Jews.. I dunno, who does that sounds like to you? Did Queen Bee Hillary tell them to do it?
