A bar graph titled "The ideologies behind political violence in America," which illustrates the number of criminal cases involving political violence from 1990 to 2025, categorized by ideology.
Key Features:
- The x-axis represents the years from 1990 to 2025, while the y-axis displays the number of criminal cases, ranging from 0 to 400.
- Each bar of the graph is divided into four sections, each representing a different ideology:
- Left
- Other
- Islamist
- Right
- A note at the bottom of the graph explains that the data only includes cases resulting in a guilty verdict, up to September 4th, as reported by The Prosecution Project.
- In all but two years (2005 and 2006), there is more violence from the right than the left, usually by a very large margin.
Graph Description:
The graph reveals a significant spike in criminal cases involving political violence on the right in 2018, with approximately 300 cases. In contrast, the other ideologies have relatively consistent or declining numbers of criminal cases over the same period.
