According to a New York Post report, left-wing terror attacks are not just rising, they are racing toward a record, a tide of violence that researchers say is fed by partisan rage against the Trump administration and emboldened by reckless rhetoric from the Left itself.
The Center for Strategic & International Studies (CSIS) found that plots and attacks carried out by the far left accounted for a record share of U.S. terrorism in the first half of 2025, on pace for the highest level in thirty years.
Through July 4, 2025 — before the assassination of Charlie Kirk in Utah and the storm of gunfire at an ICE facility in Dallas — there were already five left-wing incidents. That number alone is more than eight times the late-1990s average of barely half an incident per year.
CSIS analysts combed through 750 cases of terrorism on American soil between January 1994 and July 2025. Their conclusion: for the first time in a generation, the far left has overtaken the far right in sheer volume of violence.
The report traced the pattern back to 2016, when Donald Trump first took office. Since then, the study found, “all left-wing attacks through July 4, 2025, appeared to be motivated by one of these ideologies” — either raw anti-government fury or partisan extremism. The assassination of Kirk, they noted, fits the pattern precisely.
Investigators say Kirk’s alleged killer, 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, scrawled the words “Hey fascist, catch this” on a shell casing before pulling the trigger.
The CSIS report spelled it out: “Opposition to the Trump administration fuels attacks against both its political leadership and the state institutions that carry out its agenda.”
And now immigration has become the flashpoint. Just this week, gunfire tore through an ICE detention center in Dallas — an attack that President Trump squarely blamed on “radical left Democrats.”
The warning could not be clearer: rhetoric becomes anger, anger becomes violence, and violence begins to shake the very institutions of the Republic.
