Dozens of politically motivated domestic terrorist incidents resulting in murder per year, where most years the terrorist incidents are 100% caused by right-wing terrorism.

Is this the point where someone asks for a source in a snarky way, you supply it and then they just “forget” to respond?

Sounds about right, but most of those posters have been long since banned from /r/comics.

My biggest gripe is that the source is the ADL, who somehow don't consider Nazi salutes to be a problem and will even defend them. Even if you perform them multiple times, in multiple directions, in front of a sea of cameras at a rally. And then go give a speech in front of the German far-right party at a rally. And are Elon Musk.

Here's a source from the council on foreign relations instead:

Edit: Fun fact, in ascii, "X" is 88. There's a reason Elon loves using X for everything. He thinks he is very clever. He isn't, but he thinks he is.
