Deaths/Injuries: 23 killed, 23 injured
Motivation: The shooter targeted Hispanics and expressed his opposition to the "Hispanic invasion" of the United States in a manifesto posted online prior to the attack. He cited fears about demographic changes and voiced support for the anti-immigrant rhetoric common among white nationalist groups.
Impact: The shooting highlighted the increasing threat of white nationalist violence, particularly against immigrant communities. It also raised concerns about the role of online platforms in radicalizing individuals.

Perpetrators: Thousands of right-wing extremists, including members of far-right groups like the Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, and militia groups
Deaths/Injuries: 5 people died, over 140 law enforcement officers injured
Motivation: The rioters, largely driven by the far-right "Stop the Steal" movement, attempted to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. They believed, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, that the election was stolen from former President Donald Trump.
Impact: The attack on the Capitol was an attempt to subvert the democratic process and an embodiment of anti-government sentiment. It raised alarms about the growing influence of violent far-right groups on American politics and public safety.

Impact: This shooting was another example of rising anti-Semitic violence fueled by far-right extremism. It occurred on the last day of Passover, further emphasizing the hate-driven nature of the attack.

Impact: This shooting sparked intense debates about the role of militia groups, vigilante justice, and the intersection of race and gun violence in America. Rittenhouse was acquitted of all charges in 2021, but the case became a flashpoint for discussions on right-wing extremism and vigilantism.

In 2020, members of the movement were involved in several violent incidents, including the shooting of law enforcement officers and the plotting of attacks on government buildings.
