More than half of Americans view right-wing militia groups as a threat to the U.S., with a third saying they pose an "immediate and serious threat" to the country, according to a poll from The Economist/YouGov.

The poll was taken following the first anniversary of the Jan. 6 insurrection, when Trump supporters stormed the Capitol in an effort to prevent Congress from certifying the results of the 2020 election.

Members of known right-wing extremist groups including the Oath Keepers, the Proud Boys and the Three-Percenters, have been charged in connection with the attack.

In movies the last few decades, the villains are often white right-wingers or Russians. Used to be common for villains to make sense, such as Red Chinese or muslim terrorists. Now, just propaganda.

“I wish we had right-wing militia groups. But there are dangerous left-groups such as Antifa and BLM.”

I am sure I heard on the seattle police scanner that there were armed proud boys roaming their capitol hill and gnashing their chops during a summer of love with black umbrellas?

Not far off. Actually 1500 INTERNET-INTERVIEWED respondents (by YouGov) asked something like 139 questions that would lead to boredom after the first dozen or so.

AFAIC, internet polls are automatically suspect because the people who take them are motivated by reasons that can’t be known. I don’t care if they call it ‘randomly selected’ or not.

This is nothing but second/third hand push-polling that isn’t even real polling. So they got some answers to 139 questions and then all the demographics and then ‘weighted’ them and blah, blah, blah. INTERNET!!! I-N-T-E-R-N-E-T.

This was really nothing but a mountain of massaged answers from unvetted people online where any one of the questions can then be singled out and used as a leftist push point for an article - the real purpose. YouGov - INTERNET.....

Finally, I leave with this, “If you torture the data long and hard enough it will reveal anything you want.”

In the movie, “The Sum of All Fears,” the bad guys were originally MUSLIM terrorists in the book. They were changed to aging white Nazis in the movie.

That’s because the press has been telling them that for over 50 years.

And how many Americans feel Antifa is a threat to the US and to our cities and to our stability?

WHY DON’T WE SEE THE RESULTS OF THAT POLL?

And yeah, democrats do their best to portray all conservatives and Republicans as people running around Alabama in camouflage... It’s a stupid stereotype... democrats stereotyped blacks in the Jim Crow South too. It’s what they do because democrats are evil.

If these people were asked to name a few of these dangerous “right-wing” militia groups I’d bet the farm very few could name even one! A few others might be able to name one or two. TERRIBLE THREATS RIGHT! JUST MORE LEFTIST BULLSH*T!
