I see this one posted. I took a Look at the CSIS methodology, which is published.
Let’s look at what is excluded from that graph.
1. Economic sabotage and terrorism (tesla and burning police stations and businesses as an example).
2. Violence at demonstrations (exception was made for Charlottesville and was included. Officers or individuals that died in BLM were not).
3. Hate crimes involving trespassing, graffiti and damage to objects.
4. School shootings are “generally excluded because there is no clear political motive.” Still looking for what WAS included.
5. Material Support for Terrorists Organizations.
6. Riots (exception was made for Jan 6 and was included).
7. Robberies targeting an individual based on race or religion or to fund terrorist activity.
8. Death threats, threats of violence or bomb threats made over the phone or social media.

I couldn't find a source for this. If I have tome I'll continue to look.

But it's so pleasing to Jeff St congregants!
It's pleasing to those who regard this "political violence" as an excuse to push their agenda. They really care little about the victims, and cherry pick the ones to beatify who fit the narrative.
Again, because Dan is an idiot. IF there is a serious risk from "right wing extremists", then a clear, unbiased look at all of the data would point that out and allow us to quantify it. When you cook the data, you cause two problems. 1. You force LE to focus on the wring things. 2. You foment hate and division by pushing a false narrative.
The reality is that I'm much more concerned about the banal, everyday, random violence that the ASPL doesn't really give much of a shit about. I'm more worried that one of the felons that the Hennepin County Attorney just announced would get free passes on anything found in traffic stops, than about some whacko holed up in a compound in the mountains of Idaho.
I've been trying to find the study referenced in your link and have thus far come up short. I went to the source of the image (presented at the bottom of the page), but couldn't find this exact chart.
In doing so, as is common, I also googled different related terms and phrases to get other similar info on the notion that right-wing extremism/terrorism is on the rise and an actual threat. To that end, I came upon references to Trump "quietly removing" the NIJ study which I think Dan references elsewhere, but others have as well, and also, it has the same results we see in other "studies". So much I see on the internet just regurgitates the "bad right-wingers" narratives, promoting a CSIS book on the issue, but next to nothing critical of the findings of these "studies" until I came upon the following:
https://www.theblaze.com/news/doj-no-longer-highlighting-flawed-study-insinuating-right-wing-violence-is-on-the-rise
Unfortunately it's not very detailed and I'm not sure how much virtual pavement pounding I'll have to do to get details about the other side. The author of the linked piece has thus far gotten no response to requests for an interview from any NIJ report authors.
So the hunt continues.
I'll dig a little bit more when I have the chance. The chart was part of the post I linked to, and the point I was focusing on is the lack of accurate data on the subject.
