The article is not wrong just because the above commenter didn't like it. Take a look yourself: https://archive.is/2024.10.24-222147/https://nij.ojp.gov/top...
Would have been nice if you were as skeptical of what the OP wrote. But here's the summary from TFA:
"Militant, nationalistic, white supremacist violent extremism has increased in the United States. In fact, the number of far-right attacks continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism. Since 1990, far-right extremists have committed far more ideologically motivated homicides than far-left or radical Islamist extremists, including 227 events that took more than 520 lives.1 In this same period, far-left extremists committed 42 ideologically motivated attacks that took 78 lives.2 A recent threat assessment by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security concluded that domestic violent extremists are an acute threat and highlighted a probability that COVID-19 pandemic- related stressors, long-standing ideological grievances related to immigration, and narratives surrounding electoral fraud will continue to serve as a justification for violent actions."

One standard response to someone quoting a source they do not link is always to go to the source. You may well be presented with cherry picked data.
