Is “radical-left” violence really on the rise in America?

[Crepitus]

Well no, in spite of what trump and the righties here are trying to claim, it isn't. It is still the right who is operpetraiting most of the politically motivated violence.

This is from "the economist" which is not notably liberal.

Obviously the drop to 0 in 2025 is a lack of reporting, IMHO, but as you can see here it's clearly not "the left" causing all the problems.

Quite the opposite, in fact.

The killing of Charlie Kirk is part of a grim pattern of political violence. This is what the data show

The never ending gotcha game still going strong.

 

[Rambunctious]

Of course left wing violence is on the rise... libs are still rioting in Portland and other cities... Kirk assassinated... Trump shot in his ear... Little kids shot up in schools and churches... violence will not work libs...

Who puts this bullshit out? Why don't the graphs match what our eyes see?

 

[Missourian]

Everyone knows those riots in Portland... all MAGA!!!

Guy who shot Trump...MAGA!!!

Assassin who killed Charlie Kirk? 100% MAGA!!!1

When you're a liberal, facts, even reality, is no longer a priority... so, for them... out in looloo land , of course leftist violence is down.

It’s the violent, lawless right that advocates for political violence, as we’ve seen in the wake of Kirk’s death.

Because you are eyebrows deep in MAGA nonsense and have little to no contact with actual reality.

Portalnd was not MAGA.

The tRump shooter was a disillusioned MAGA

This recent shooter is indeed full fledged MAGA

Since the economist chose the flashing red for the Right and a quiet color for the Left, it already shows bias.

BTW, Does the "chart" include such crimes as:

* Murderer Robin Westman (trans activist, free palestine) at church?

* Murderer: Snehal Ansh Srivastava "Sasha Shakur" [Trans, BLM, free palestine]

* Or violent Zizian cult members?

The man who targeted and killed Democratic state lawmaker Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark in their home in Minnesota in June was a Trump supporter.

The man charged with the attempted assassination of Pennsylvania’s Democratic governor, Josh Shapiro, in April was a Trump supporter.

The man convicted of orchestrating a series of shootings at the homes of four Democratic elected officials in New Mexico in 2022 was a Trump supporter.

The man who tried to kidnap then Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and assaulted her husband, Paul, in 2022 was a Trump supporter.

The men who wanted to hang Mike Pence on Jan 6, 2021, were Trump supporters.

The man who killed the son of Obama-appointed District Judge Esther Salas in 2020 was a Trump supporter.

The men who were convicted of trying to kidnap Michigan’s Democratic governor, Gretchen Whitmer, in 2020 were Trump supporters.

The man who sent pipe bombs to the homes of Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, and other top Democrats in 2018 was a Trump supporter.

The man who killed left-wing activist Heather Heyer after driving his car into a crowd of counter-protesters in Charlottesville in 2017 was a Trump supporter.


Seriously, why are you waging war on the left over the actions of a single person? This doesn't make any sense. All of the facts show that far right wing commit violence at a higher rate than extreme left wing. But even then, these individuals do not largely represent the entire voter base.

And the way that the right has responded to this, it's almost guarenteed that there will be a violent response from the right. That's the difference here. In the past, acts of violence have always been discouraged. But with this administration, they are telling you to be violent in response to this. It's crazy.

The right is spinning the radicalized leftist narrative hard today. The facts just don't say that.
