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.

And ANTIFA, BLM and radical leftist politicians, are they viewed as a threat?

Let me guess…the question has never been polled, nor will it be.

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

Obviously the poll was taken on the Left coast and the East coast. This is the stupidest thing I have read on FR in years.

Well, of course. When the media and corrupt law enforcement officials constantly repeat something, many people will believe it.

Apparently the Feds LARPing actually resonates with the people who have taken 10 vaxes. Don’t worry. They will be gone soon.

How many polled even know what a militia is? Oath Keepers or Proud Boys, because the evening new says they are?
