The Atlantic admitted on Tuesday that left-wing violence has spiraled out of control since President Donald Trump entered the political realm in 2016. The outlet compiled a data set of 750 attacks between Jan. 1, 1994, to July 4, 2025, and found that left-wing terror attacks are currently outnumbering violence coming from the political right. “[President Donald] Trump’s political ascent and the expansion of the MAGA movement seem to have reenergized left-wing violent extremism, which accounted for 37 incidents from 2016 to 2024, most of them motivated by either anti-government or partisan sentiment. While left-wing violence is on the rise, right-wing terror attacks have been on the decline, The Atlantic reported. President Donald Trump’s rise to political power marked a drastic change by prompting more left-wing terror attacks.
