According to the FBI, 90% of all terror plots in the past two years were committed by far right extremists.. Is MAGA the new Al Qaeda? https://www.theepochtimes.com/2-men-charged-with-planning-to-blow-up-democratic-headquarters_3904501.html

I don't know if the FBI does any virtue signaling, or not. 30% of Americans or so would be a lot of terrorists.

Al Qaeda's threat on American soil was never at any point higher than that of white nationalists, it's just been media scare-mongering about the former - the only difference is now the latter is emboldened and the Republicans who their base is comprised of are afraid enough of them that they won't denounce them too loudly

They're suffering from "mental illness" and we need to try to understand them or they're really "antifa and blm" trying to make maga look bad.

Yes, but their motives are completely different. I mean, all that "freedom" and gun stuff are pretty delusional for me

It is no wonder that people become radicals when their outlook and situation in life gets ever more doomed, be it in real life or only in their imagination. In fact the difference between healthy and wealthy and those with bleak perspectived increased during the last decade and even more so during the last years.
