For the past decade, the national conversation on terrorism has largely focused on Islamic extremist acts, however, law enforcement groups have made it clear that Muslim extremists perpetrate a minute percentage of the ideologically based terrorist attacks which are perpetrated in the United States.{{cite web |last1=Cai |first1=Weiyi |last2=Landon |first2=Simone |title=Attacks by White Extremists Are Growing.

A 2012 study showed that in about the same time period right-wing extremists were responsible for about 337 attacks per year, in total, they killed more than 5 times the number of people killed by Muslims in the United States.{{cite journal |last1=Ritchie |first1=Hannah |author1-link=Hannah Ritchie |last2=Hasell |first2=Joe |last3=Appel |first3=Cameron |last4=Roser |first4=Max |title=Terrorism |url=https://ourworldindata.org/terrorism |journal=Our World in Data |date=July 28, 2013 |access-date=March 27, 2020}}

In May 2019 and for the first time in its history, the FBI identified fringe conspiracy theories as a potential source of domestic terrorism, it specifically cited QAnon.{{Cite web|url=https://news.yahoo.com/fbi-documents-conspiracy-theories-terrorism-160000507.html|title=Exclusive: FBI document warns conspiracy theories are a new domestic terrorism threat|website=news.yahoo.com|date=August 2019 }}

A June 2020 study of domestic terrorist incidents by the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) reported that during the previous 25 years, the majority of attacks and plots were perpetrated and hatched by far-right attackers. This trend has accelerated in recent years, with this sector being responsible for about 66% of all of the attacks and plots which were perpetrated in 2019, and it was also responsible for 90% of all of those attacks which were perpetrated in 2020. The next most potentially dangerous group has been "religious extremists", the majority "Salafi jihadists inspired by the Islamic State and al-Qaeda", while the number planned by the far left has reduced to a minute fraction since the mid-2000s.{{cite web | title=Violence by far-right is among US's most dangerous terrorist threats, study finds|first =Jason |last=Wilson | website=The Guardian | date=June 27, 2020 | url=http://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/jun/27/us-far-right-violence-terrorist-threat-analysis | access-date=June 29, 2020}}{{cite journal | last=Jones | first=Seth G. | title=The Escalating Terrorism Problem in the United States | website=Center for Strategic and International Studies | date=June 3, 2020 | url=https://www.csis.org/analysis/escalating-terrorism-problem-united-states | access-date=June 29, 2020}}

In October 2020, the Department of Homeland Security released the Homeland Threat Assessment, a report detailing various domestic threats to US national security. It states that, out of all domestic terror attacks resulting in lethal threats to life between 2018 and 2019, "WSEs [white supremacist extremists] conducted half of all lethal attacks (8 of 16), resulting in the majority of deaths (39 of 48)".{{Cite web|last=Wolf|first=Chad|date=October 6, 2020|title=Homeland Threat Assessment|url=https://www.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/publications/2020_10_06_homeland-threat-assessment.pdf|access-date=January 21, 2021|website=DHS}}

• * January 6, 2021: January 6 United States Capitol attack. A mob of right-wing extremists stormed and subsequently attempted a coup d'état to prevent the counting of electoral college votes following Donald Trump's loss in the 2020 United States presidential election. The belligerents, which include a myriad of far-right organizations such as QAnon, Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, among many others, were following a seven-part plan proposed by Trump so that he could remain in office, and overturn the election's results. The insurrection resulted in the death of 2 people and 174 injured, with the injured mainly police officers on peacekeeping duties. Four officers committed suicide in the weeks following the incident. Over 1,200 people have been charged in connection to the attack, making it one of the largest criminal trials in United States history.
