Individuals rather than organized groups more likely to commit extremist crimes as inflammatory Republican rhetoric escalates
In recent years a white supremacist killed nine people at a Black church in Charleston, South Carolina, while just this week a man was arrested after he crashed a rented truck into bollards near the White House.
According to the data, 90% of the cases of US terrorists are classed as domestic. Of the domestic extremists, 95% are far-right, Jensen said: white supremacists, Proud Boys, anti-immigrant groups and anti-government groups. Since 2016, the number of people committing such crimes has jumped to about 300-350 cases a year, Jensen said – not including a huge spike in 2021 as a result of the January 6 insurrection.
“Before the internet and before social media, how an individual was likely to radicalize is that it was going to be through a face-to-face relationship that they had in the physical world,” Jensen said.

DeSantis is the only politician who ‘has a shot’ at beating TrumpFlorida Governor Ron DeSantis is the only politician who “has a shot” at beating Former US president Donald Trump, says UC Berkeley Professor of Political Science M. Steven Fish. “The reason is that he, like Trump, is a high dominance politics guy, he specialises in owning the Libs,” he told Sky News Australia. “The problem with DeSantis is that he shows no ability or inclination to own Trump, and if you want to come to the top of the Republican tribe, you’re going to have to show that you’re a tougher guy- that you’re a strong guy than Trump is.”
