Even Legacy Media Admits Left-Wing Violence Is Out Of Control

The Atlantic admitted on Tuesday that left-wing violence has spiraled out of control since President Donald Trump entered the political realm in 2016.

The outlet compiled a data set of 750 attacks between Jan. 1, 1994, to July 4, 2025, and found that left-wing terror attacks are currently outnumbering violence coming from the political right. By July 4, far-left extremists accounted for five terrorist attacks or attempted attacks, which puts 2025 on pace to be the most violent year for the political left in over 30 years.

“ Trump’s political ascent and the expansion of the MAGA movement seem to have reenergized left-wing violent extremism, which accounted for 37 incidents from 2016 to 2024, most of them motivated by either anti-government or partisan sentiment. By July 4 of this year, far-left extremists had already been responsible for five terrorist attacks and plots, putting 2025 on pace to be the left’s most violent year in more than three decades,” The Atlantic wrote.

While left-wing violence is on the rise, right-wing terror attacks have been on the decline, The Atlantic reported. The only right-wing terror attack committed in 2025 was the assassination of Democratic state Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband in June.

During former President Barack Obama’s presidency, right-wing terrorism accounted for 106 attacks and plots, The Atlantic reported. President Donald Trump’s rise to political power marked a drastic change by prompting more left-wing terror attacks.

Trump faced two assassination attempts on his life on July 13, 2024, and Sept. 15, 2024. The first occurred when 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks allegedly fired several rounds into the crowd of a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, causing Trump to suffer a bullet wound in his upper ear. The second attempted happened at the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida, when the alleged would-be assassin Ryan Routh attempted to shoot Trump with an AK-47-style rifle before being spotted by Secret Service agents.
