1/ The threat of domestic terrorism in the U.S. will likely continue to grow over the next year, including before, during, and after the 2020 presidential election.

@SethGJones and @CSIS_Threats assess trends in domestic terrorism throughout 2020 http://cs.is/35ml8s6 .

2/ White supremacists and other like-minded extremists orchestrated 67 percent of terrorist plots and attacks in the United States in 2020.

3/ There was also a rise in anarchist, anti-fascist, and other like-minded attacks and plots in 2020 compared to previous years, which comprised 20 percent of terrorist incidents.

4/ Notably, the actions of violent far-left and far-right extremists are likely to be interlinked as various sides respond to others during protests, riots, demonstrations, and online activity—creating a classic “security dilemma" as each side acquires weapons.

5/ Finally, domestic terrorism has not been isolated to specific geographic locations, suggesting that the rise in terrorism is a national problem. The broad scope of events makes it difficult to predict where future incidents will occur.
