Right-wing extremists were not only more successful, they were often more deadly, too. From 2008 to 2016, a third of right-wing attacks involved fatalities, compared to 13 percent of Islamist attacks. It should be noted, however, that Islamist extremists killed more people overall, with a death toll of 90 people compared to 79.
In a statement pointing out the higher rate of successful, right-wing terrorist attacks, the Investigative Fund said: “This project quantifies just how irrational Trump and the GOP's fixation on 'radical Islamic terrorism' as the greatest security threat is.”
“Fixation” might be the right word. The president has yet to acknowledge the problem of right-wing violence, remaining uncharacteristically silent after an Islamophobic attack on a mosque in London that left one man dead. (Trump tweeted about the three incidents of Islamist terrorism that have hit the U.K. capital in recent months.)

I don't necessarily mean that. Most people agree the complete psychos are complete psychos. Rather the point is, we had a womens movement in this country over a half century that won, except it didn't really win if we're now going to decide to apply the principles selectively. If you're in favor of womens rights only sometimes then you're not in favor of womens rights at all.
The GOP has made progress on things like feminism and homophobia and classical liberal values but they're not there yet. That's the problem, namely the GOP isn't there yet and the Dems are starting to move away from them. Thus, no political party is there right now.
