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

[Missourian]

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

My Dude, your brain is so twisted, you wouldn't recognize a fact if it was fired at you from a water cannon.

 

[Dogmaphobe]

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

You betcha, algorithm.

It's not like there is anything violent about Kirk's death, whoever programmed you.

Republicans chose red for their color long ago.

If the article would choose blue for the left your answer would be valid. So no.

You're amusing.

 

[Missourian]

And yet it's still true, in spite of your disbelief.

Yeah... And Trump colluded with the Russians...

... and Biden is sharp as a tack...

... and Harris is going to win Iowa by 10 points.

Your brain is broke my friend.

You are one of the few libs I don't actively dislike, but when it comes to politics, you and reality aren't currently on speaking terms.

 

[Rambunctious]

Show us.

Turn OFF FAKE NEWS And we won't have to show you...

 

[Rambunctious]

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

And you are chest deep in insanity and anti American nonsense... why don't you love our country?...

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

Wow. "Crimes" can consist of most anything. If you notice, the growth in alleged conservative "crimes" corresponds with the well-known rigged bias of the 0bama, Biden, and deep state JD in between where conservative abortion protesters were arrested at their homes by SWAT teams and charged with multiple felonies when local authorities didn't even charge them with misdemeanors. And then, of course, we saw the spate of phony charges against Trump for 10 years. All these bogus cases from 2008-24 are reflected in the stats you see in the graph. Ditto the Clinton administration.

How about we show political bias of violent crimes such as assaults and assassination attempts. Leftwingers lead those by a mile.

If it is on the rise, the only question is when will those responsible finally learn that what they do will only dig their own hole deeper? When one voice is silenced, the voices that remain may only grow louder due to the shoes that are then in need of filling.

God bless you always!!!

The first is well documented and not in question.

Well documented as a hoax.

Give reality a call, it misses you.

Looking at assassination statistics, successful or not, to measure whether political violence is growing worse, is like looking at lightning strike patterns to determine rainfall levels. The strikes are too random and a single attack that kills 100 is not equal to 50 attacks that kill 2 people each.

The fact is, young people are becoming more radicalized, more okay with thinking violence is an acceptable political response.

1-in-3 think some level of violence is acceptable to stop a speech on campus if they do not like the speaker. And 54% think it's okay to block other people from attending.

Also, 41% of people aged 18-29 think Luigi Manione shooting United Healthcare CEO was "acceptable" or "somewhat acceptable."

This did not happen in a vacuum. Someone taught those kids to be okay with violence. And I don't think it was Trump.

54% of students find it acceptable to block attendance at a campus speech.

I don't believe this bullshit graph.

 

[Muhammed]

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

It's criminal convictions. If you don't prosecute it, it doesn't count. And they cherry pick which acts of violence are political violence. The leftist thug who shot a guy for being a Trump supporter back in 2020 is not considered political violence in their stats.

It's fake news.
