Also, when it comes to the domestic terrorism argument... Really hard to determine the real numbers when it's a state by state reporting process and they have different definitions of "domestic terrorism" or do not charge under "domestic terrorism".
To prove this, let's look at the Seattle Washington's(NEARLY THE SAME RIOTING/PROTESTING ENVIRONMENTS YOU SEE IN PORTLAND) domestic terrorist count in 2020 per 100K people: 1. 1 domestic terrorist case per 100K in 2020.
How many did Portland Oregon have per 100k people? 78. 78 domestic terrorist cases per 100K in 2020 with nearly the same environment as Washington.
Again, at surface level these "facts" look legit... But when delving deeper Kyle was 100% within his legal right against all charges and you cannot currently get an accurate domestic terrorism stats when states have different laws, definitions, and bias.
Here's the FBI's take on it.

Whatever misconceptions you have, are likely solved within any of the links here. Outside of me providing you with the information you need to safely conclude yes in fact majority of terrorism is domestic and is committed by right wingers. It's not a red herring it's a genuine threat to the country. You can conflate protestors with rioters all you want at the end of the day if you're going to operate on the assumed premise that majority of US terrorism isn't committed by white, right winged, males then you're factually wrong according to all the data we have.

I demonize non-substance culture war bullshit, regressive or punch down policy, and people in general whom talk out of their ass. Me pointing out that right wing ideology sits on top of all terrorism committed towards the United States and it's people. Some muslims in a cave screaming death to America isn't a threat. A feminist beta cuck crying about toxic masculinity isn't a threat. A bunch of specifically white, right winged, males, organizing an insurrection to overturn the election and keep their leader in power despite the law is a threat.
