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.

If some “right-wing militia group” had actually done anything, it would have been headline news across the country for weeks, if not months.

“right wing militia groups” are almost by definition a threat

but there are so few of them

almost all of the dangerous gangs, with whatever descriptors one wishes to apply to them, are now the extreme leftist gangs like BLM, OccupyXYZ, and other SorozNazi and DNC-organized rioters

so, for the most part, the “right wing” is simply an erroneous phrase in the headline

[Da Coyote]

Nice try, leftists.
Get a mirror. See the enemy.
We know it.
And you are getting frightened.
Properly so.

We have every right to enter the Capitol. We pay for that building and everyone’s salary that works in it. The employees, politicians and the building belong to us!

And the other half regard the racist, Maoist, democrat militias as a threat. Eventually, one side has to back down or go down.

There is a civil war coming. I still think this has an 1858 feel. 1860 is bearing down upon us. And it will be much worse, more like the Balkans that Antietam.

More than half of Americans believe in unicorns. Film at 11.

Half of America doesn’t see militia groups as a threat,
so I guess we are even.

If you’re in a “right wing militia group” you better figure out who are the FBI informants among you.

[Who is John Galt?]

OMG! OMG! OMG! this is scary. They might storm the capital. If walking in peacefully and unarmed is considered storming.

Added a few more facts...

Constantly pounded, repeated, mindlessly affirmed propaganda works

— on a part of the people some of the time. Thank God it can never fool all the people all the time.

[gundog]

The ones they hear about in the MSM, of course.

The ‘Rats claim the other half of America are members.

I seriously doubt half of Americans even know what a Right Wing Militia is. Or care. Much less view it as a threat.

[al_c]

Only because they watch mainstream news.

[MrBambaLaMamba]

I thought we were supposed to fear the unvaccinated.

[kenmcg]

That’s how effective the MSM has been in brainwashing the American public.
