Abortions are political violence according to the right.
And murdering abortion providers are actual murders
They would probably agree with you on that one.
So I have very, very long copy-pastas I made from my reddit days detailing that this is pure and utter bullshit. Not just in recent history, but throughout our history. There was a momentary blip where leftist eco terrorism spiked but it was nothing comparable in terms of the homicidal violence of the right at any point in our history.
For every left-wing act of serious violence, I can name 3 or more from the right.
there are wikipedia articles about both of these topics:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right-wing_terrorism
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Left-wing_terrorism
and, of course,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_violence
edit:
this is only one metric, but i think it’s notable that there are about 80 references on the left wing page and approximately 3.5 times that many on the right wing page.
That’s just the notorious Wikipedia Far-Left bias.
Like, consider the Comet Pingpong Shooting. You counted that as an act of right wing violence. But what about all the cases of adrenochrome harvesting that happened in the basement? Why aren’t Hilary Clinton and John Podesta on this list?
Hell, not a single victim of the Hilary Clinton Death List is anywhere in these articles. Why aren’t we counting the brutal murder of Jeffrey Epstein as an act of Left Wing Violence, eh?
Pretty suspicious if you ask me.
If you want to be a crazy conspiracy person like you are acting at least believe in the conspiracy that epsteins kiddy partners (like trump) were the ones who ordered the hit on him.
Trump was a white hat pedophile.
You counted that as an act of right wing violence.
i didn’t count it at all.
edit: aw fuck. you got me.
#PizzaGate #neverforget #nonexistentBasements
You forgor the Bowling Green Massacre smh head😞
Oh snap. What a tragedy. Lighters out for those poor lost souls… (swimming in a fishbowl… Year after year…)
He is projecting
GOP
His lips are moving.
Q: How can you tell when Donald Trump is lying? A: The tip of his ear is missing.
The people listening to him don’t give two shits about the truth.
No but it will be if they continue FAFO is coming.
There should be consequences to blatant lies from the media and our politicians.
There are, already; their preferred candidates usually get a bump in polling. Why let the truth stand in the way of that?

They’ll just flip it and go see, we were right, the left are terrorists!! There needs to be enforced legislation. News should be news. It has to be factual and unbiased. Instead, we have corporations saying whatever the hell they want so their guy gets in and hurts the people they hate while giving them tax breaks.
News should be like the Michelin star system. One star means you are following basic reporting practices and can call yourself “reporters”. 4 star is “news” and you are held to stringent fact checking and balanced reporting practices and can call yourself News or have News in your name. 5star would be super special paragon of journalism, opinion-free reporting of facts thing. Zero stars would be “just asking questions here!” level.
No censorship or anything, just an indicator of how reliable sources are. And make it mandatory to display like their channel bug in the corner, but a restaurant grade type thing.
The problem still is, people will ignore that. Look at how many suckers believe fox “news” now? It wouldn’t change anything.
I fuckin wish
Every time they say it, they add to the ‘evidence’ of it being true. This is the purpose of the Heritage foundation, who wrote Project 2025.
Specially when the left is virtually nonexistent
I don’t think that’s true. The “left” as I understand it, is a largely heterogenous, loosely united coalition of all kinds of different factions beset by a mountain of conflicting interests and decades of infighting. Some factions are united by choice, and others are there because they would have died out once the USA became consumed by the dominant two-party system we currently languish under.
The Right isn’t like this, or at least it’s not as bad. Despite having just as many if not more factions with just as many if not more differences and conflicting interests, they value loyalty and in-group cohesion, which keeps them coming together every 4 years to form a surprisingly unified front. It also helps that they all fucking hate anyone even slightly left of center and most will vote for a Republican they despise over a Democrat they kinda sorta like on a personal level.
Consider your average Democratic Senator/Representative. They lean left on many things and have the backing of party leadership. To win their election, they need two things, votes and funding. They know that there are many things their voter base is passionate about, such as healthcare reform, police reform, campaign finance reform, housing and income inequality, and so on. They know their voter base has no hope of ever getting these things from Republicans, but unfortunately they are things that the donor class tends to despise. When faced with the challenge of appealing to all the different factions of the left while staying within the good graces of the wealthy donor class, the Democrat will pivot away from “policy” and focus more on “process”. Generally uncontroversial things like bipartisanship, decorum, and compromise. They don’t really take stances on wedge issues unless they run in a solid blue district where they can take that stance and not break up the coalition or lose donor support.
They keep lying, and maybe we should make it come true if they want a dictatorship.
Um, of course it’s wrong. The DHS (correctly) identified the right wing domestic terrorist threat wayyyyy back under Bush.
Naturally, the radical right wing freaked right out over this revelation.
Ah yes the extremely violent left which is failing because its always trying to play by the rules and be politically correct while the right does whatever they want.
MAGA is their name. Projection is their game.
Remember that word for political violence?
Terrorism.
If sick burns and pointing out logical fallacies are political violence, he’s absolutely right, GOP gets brutalized daily.
Don’t forget about how Huckabee was denied her CHEESE PLATTER!
It was just like the Holocaust, I tell you.
