This is dishonest cherry picking. Number of deaths isn't the metric to use between unlike sets. The shooting deaths you want to focus on are not in support of terrorism or a political movement, where the white nationalist terrorism is. The danger isn't just to the people who were killed directly.

But you support the dangers that are not just black people being shot.

Delusional left-wing hysterics.

Left-winger – "concern about demographics changing the political/racial makeup of the US is a racist right wing conspiracy theory!!!"

Also left-winger – "OMG!1!1111!!!11! the white terrorists are overthrowing the country!!11!11!!!1!1!!

Not delusional. The Great Replacement Theory is a racist right wing conspiracy theory. White terrorists are not. The white terrorists aren't trying to use democracy to take over the country, so they don't need to outnumber decent citizens. They're doing it by suppressing votes, giving the GOP the power to nullify elections, and putting people in place who will refuse to certify. And storming the Capitol. And terrorizing non-white people. And criminalizing even teaching about real history.

But yeah, everyone not bending over backwards to give the right wing the never-ending benefit of the doubt, the 'civility' patrol, knows you're giving cover for the great replacement theory. The standard that no call on that can be made if the person doesn't come out and say that's what they're doing isn't a valid standard.
