Very interesting on p9: "Muslims, on average, are more likely to engage in acts of terrorism than Christians" and then it goes on to say white liberals <24 either don't know this or are too PC to say it. However while it's true globally, it's not true domestically. /1

Far-right terrorists attacks are more common (though less deadly) and far more dangerous politically, as they are affiliated to meaningful channels whereby they can exercise power. No rational American should walk around afraid Islamists will take control of the US. /2

Sure, when they attack, they kill more than the Christian-inspired terrorists, but they have absolutely no popular support. They represent zero existential threat. Not only do the Christian-inspired terrorists present a more frequent danger, they're a growing domestic threat, /3

AND their agenda has powerful sympathetic ears like Steve King on the out white supremacy end or Pence on the genteel end. They are an existential threat that Islamism simply isn't, and likely never will be. The authors seem to miss this sort of thing all over the report. /end

I think I've moved more to the center, but I guess Im more of an exception here. Or maybe I've always been more of a centrist, only hard left on certain topics.

Guilty. I think my GOP family's conservatism pulled me to the center for a long time (decades) before 2016. 2016 broke that spell. In technical terms, after 2016 I decided they were full of shit. Unmoored from from their gravitational pull, indeed repulsed, I've lurched left.

You and me both. I see them and their so called values for what they are now

In a country with so few scars of economic and racial injustice, I find that difficult to understand.

I wonder if Never-Trump Republicans have also moved "left" on race too? I've seen Never-Trump pundits say they have, but that's a tiny group. Pundits like Bill
@BillKristol joke about Trump drawing out their inner socialist.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

I wonder if it is all the other countries moving to the right that make it look that way? A lot of them are still aay left of the American left though.
