Left-Wing Terror Attacks Reach Record Highs In 2025 - Fueled By Unhinged Opposition To Trump Admin, Disturbing Study Finds

Left-wing terror attacks are on track to reach a record high this year - as Democrats have been accused of ramping up their harmful 
rhetoric in their opposition to the Trump administration, a disturbing new study has found.

Violent plots planned or perpetrated by the far left in the US, as a percentage of all terrorist attacks and plots, hit a high in 
the first half of 2025, and are on pace to reach a three-decade high by the end of the year, according to a study from the Center 
for Strategic and International Studies.

Through July 4,2025 - thus excluding the assassination of Charlie Kirk and the attack on the Dallas ICE facility - there were five 
left-wing attacks or plots, the study found.

This is more than eight times higher than the average of 0.6 left-wing incidents annually from 1995 to 2000.

The current record - set in 2022 and 2020 - was eight, according to CSIS data.

CSIS researchers compiled and analyzed a dataset of 750 terrorist attacks and plots in the United States between January 1,1994, 
and July 4,2025.

For the first time in 30 years, terrorist attacks from the far left are outpacing attacks from the extreme right, the analysis also 
shows.

Researchers noted that the increase in left-wing violence since President Trump first took office in 2016 has been largely 
motivated by anti-government extremism or partisan extremism.

Since then, "all left-wing attacks through July 4,2025, appeared to be motivated by one of these ideologies," the study found, 
noting that Kirk's fatal shooting appears to fit the pattern.

Kirk's alleged killer, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, scrawled "Hey fascist, catch this" on a shell casing before shooting him dead on 
Sept. 10, law enforcement officials said.

The CSIS study stated the rise in left-wing violence this year can be explained "as opposition to the Trump administration fuels 
attacks against both its political leadership and the state institutions that carry out its agenda."

The study notes immigration has also emerged as a major issue this year, highlighted by this week's attack at an ICE detention 
center in Dallas - which Trump blamed on the rhetoric from "radical left Democrats."

While political "leaders are not responsible for extremists in their midst," the authors wrote, "they are responsible for how they 
behave towards extremism."

They called for both sides to condemn violence from their side and call for calm when it involves the other.

"The celebrations among some on the left of Luigi Mangione is a failure to undermine support for left-wing violence," the study 
said.

Democrats have come under fire for calling those in this Republican administration "Nazis" or "fascists" - particularly in regard 
to its massive deportation effort.

After alleged anti-ICE sniper Joshua Jahn shot three detainees before taking his own life in Dallas on Wednesday, the FBI 
discovered a hand-written notes found at Jahn's residence that accused ICE agents of "human trafficking."

That same language was used by Democratic Florida Rep. Maxwell Frost, who accused ICE of "kidnapping people" and "human 
trafficking," in June.

In July, the White House urged Dems to "tone down" their critiques of US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), but many have 
continued.

Just this week, California Gov. Gavin Newsom appeared on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" and slammed ICE as a "private 
domestic army" being used to bolster the Trump admin's "authoritarian tendencies."

Minnesota Gov. and former Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz has referred to the agency as a 'modern-day Gestapo."

Far-left "Squad" Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) earlier this month described Trump's Washington, DC, crime crackdown as a "fascist 
takeover."

And even before losing the 2024 election, former Vice President Kamala Harris agreed that Trump was a "fascist" when she was asked 
on the campaign trail.

Meanwhile, the study's authors said, one possible explanation for the decline in right-wing terrorism this year is that "some 
extremists do not feel the need to act violently if their concerns are being addressed" since Trump took office.

Since 1995, there have been more right-wing than left-wing terrorism plots and attacks in the US every year, with at least 30 
incidents reported in 1995 - the year of the Oklahoma City bombing - as well as 2023,2020 and 2017.

But just one has been reported in 2025.

"Trump Derangement Syndrome" Is a Real Mental Condition

All you need to know about "Trump Derangement Syndrome," or TDS.

"Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is a mental condition in which a person has been driven effectively insane due to their dislike 
of Donald Trump, to the point at which they will abandon all logic and reason."

Justin Raimondo, the editorial director of Antiwar.com, wrote a piece in the Los Angeles Times in 2016 that broke TDS down into 
three distinct phases or stages:

"In the first stage of the disease, victims lose all sense of proportion. The president-elect's every tweet provokes a firestorm, 
as if 140 characters were all it took to change the world."

"The mid-level stages of TDS have a profound effect on the victim's vocabulary: Sufferers speak a distinctive language consisting 
solely of hyperbole."

"As TDS progresses, the afflicted lose the ability to distinguish fantasy from reality."

The Point here is simple: TDS is, in the eyes of its adherents, the knee-jerk opposition from liberals to anything and everything 
Trump does. If Trump announced he was donating every dollar he's ever made, TDS sufferers would suggest he was up to something 
nefarious, according to the logic of TDS. There's nothing - not. one. thing. - that Trump could do or say that would be received 
positively by TDSers.

The history of Trump Derangement Syndrome actually goes back to the early 2000s - a time when the idea of Trump as president was a 
punch line for late-night comics and nothing more.

Wikipedia traces its roots to "Bush Derangement Syndrome" - a term first coined by the late conservative columnist Charles 
Krauthammer back in 2003. The condition, as Krauthammer defined it, was "the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people in 
reaction to the policies, the presidency - nay - the very existence of George W. Bush."
