Republicans still want Americans to believe that the greatest threat of terrorism comes from foreigners (especially muslims). This is probably because most domestic terrorists are right-wingers, and support the Republican Party (as long as those Republican officials support Trump).
But the American public knows better. They know that the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security have said the biggest threat today comes from domestic terrorists. This was shown again just a couple of days ago, when a right-wing terrorists threatened to blow up the Library of Congress.
Note in the chart above that all groups (all adults, Democrats, Independents, and even Republicans) have a bigger fear of home-grown domestic terrorists over foreign terrorists.
The charts are from the latest AP-NORC Poll -- done between August 12th and 16th of a nationwide sample of 1,729 adults, with a 3.2 point margin of error.
All four groups also said the wars in both Afghanistan and Iraq were not worth fighting.
