I don't have a complete count of domestic terrorists, but I do remember that the spectrum is wider than just "right wing folks." The San Bernardino massacre was a couple of muslim extremists, and they went after local government employees. The Boston bombers were islamo-eastern europe (or was it Chechen?) nut jobs. The 95-beltway sniper was ex-army, a bitter black guy with his son, Muhammad and Malvo. This recent Dayton Ohio one was a far-leftie that was a Bernie+Warren supporter who also supported "gun control" and had been making "murder lists" from high school days. The Alexandria shooter of Republican congressmen was a left wing wacko, again a Bernie supporter. He drove all the way from Ohio and looked for the Republican softball team, not just congressional reps. Didn't seem to care if they were Rino's, conservative, moderate, whatever... just needed to be the republican reps.
And this is all off the top of my head.
You and I both no doubt remember the Weathermen/Weather underground and Saul Alinsky et al. Political ideology-terrorism... from the Left. Fire-bombing judge's houses, etc and post offices, etc.
The long hot summer of '64...
Antifa is not... o wait a minute they are truly a bunch of Nazi-like domestic terrorists, although they may be just as 1917/Bolshevik as they are National-Socialists...
So I would say there is enough shed blood on radicals' hands, across a wide spectrum of ideologies, to go around.
O, yes, and Chicago... there is an equivalent of a mass murder/shootings going on there Every Weekend. Probably not ideological at all.
edit to add: I will grant that this list doesn't have much to support "turning red states blue" -- there is that point to be acknowledged.
