A recent study from the Chicago Project on Security and Threats provides insight into the profiles of the insurrectionists who attacked the Capitol on Jan. 6. As the project’s director, Robert A. Pape, detailed in an op-ed for The Post:

When compared with almost 2,900 other counties in the United States, our analysis of the 250 counties where those charged or arrested live reveals that the counties that had the greatest decline in White population had an 18 percent chance of sending an insurrectionist to D.C., while the counties that saw the least decline in the White population had only a 3 percent chance. . . .

Put another way, the people alleged by authorities to have taken the law into their hands on Jan. 6 typically hail from places where non-White populations are growing fastest.

Yup, the people carrying Confederate flags, sporting “Camp Auschwitz” shirts and worshiping at the altar of the disgraced former president just might be White nationalists alarmed by the racial diversification of America.
