Right-wing warnings pose far more danger to America than left-wing violence

Authoritarians historically have gained power by pointing to non-existent violence from their opponents.

In a recent address to right-wing evangelical leaders, President Trump warned that Democrats will resort to brute force if they win the midterm elections. “They will overturn everything we’ve done and they will do it violently,” said Trump, presenting his political opponents as an imminent threat to freedom of religion and speech.

This statement builds on a narrative that has gained power on Fox News and social media. It has been fed by conservative media outlets like Breitbart and organizations like the National Rifle Association, which has also publicly threatened journalists.

But the story that a wave of left-wing terrorism threatens America is wrong. The poster child for this false narrative is antifa, a small, weak organization that protests white supremacist aggression.

The real threat of violence comes from the right. The Anti-Defamation League’s Center on Extremism reports that right-wingers and white supremacists were responsible for 74 percent of the murders committed by political extremists in the United States over the past decade. Only 2 percent were committed by left-wing radicals. Alex Nowrasteh, an immigration policy analyst at the libertarian Cato Institute, has calculated that “terrorists inspired by Nationalist and Right Wing ideology have killed about 10 times as many people as Left Wing terrorists since 1992.”

What’s more, white supremacists and their fellow travelers have strong connections to the establishment right and are far more organized than the antifa. They seek to provoke confrontation through armed marches onto college campuses and into the centers of liberal-leaning cities, like the confrontation in Charlottesville last summer.

These narratives about aggressive left-wing violence aren’t just distorted. They are dangerous, because they set the stage for replacing democratic institutions with authoritarian rule. Provoking street violence and blaming it on their opponents is exactly how totalitarian regimes have gained power in the past.

Like all that "non-existent violence" that has happened at the inauguration and several times in Berkeley?

Or that "non-existent" bicycle lock that a lunatic college prof was clobbering people with?

Or all that "nonexistent" pepper spray that antifa goons have been spraying on innocent onlookers?

This shit is ridiculous, even by WaPo's already low standards.

Sorry, debate ends when you lie. Enforcing laws is not racism nor out of control. Securing our borders is not racism or out of control. Telling the truth about the media is not out of control. It is all past due.

Probably because Ulster Irish lowlives make up a lot of the USA Conservatives they had a nasty reputation in Ireland for mass shootings & bombings.

But when we look at Europes far Right in Hungary, Poland, Italy, Czech, Austria they heavily lack mass shootings or bombings.

Non existent violence? What about cutting off Trump's head, holding it up with all the blood dripping down and calling it 'comedy?' What kind of sick fucker does that? What about antifa violence? What about a Democrat shooting a congressman at a ball game? What about Maxi Waters telling people to attack Republicans at gas stations and restaurants? WTF are you even talking about? Oh wait......I get it now....You and your ilk are ALWAYS 'victims'....I think I get it now.....If lefties attack it's because someone said something 'bad.'
