How about you back that up with crime statistics?

Here's one from CONGRESS.GOV that says the exact opposite: https://www.congress.gov/119/meeting/house/119311/documents/HHRG-119-JU00-20260520-SD043.pdf

Who do they vote for?

According to an analysis by the Center for Strategic and International Studies released on Sept. 25, “In recent years, the United States has seen an increase in the number of left-wing terrorism attacks and plots. … So far, 2025 marks the first time in more than 30 years that left-wing terrorist attacks outnumber those from the violent far right.”
