The Right’s Violence Problem

The Right’s Violence Problem​

​

Over the past decade, the Anti-Defamation League has counted about 450 U.S. murders committed by political extremists.

Of these 450 killings, right-wing extremists committed about 75 percent. Islamic extremists were responsible for about 20 percent, and left-wing extremists were responsible for 4 percent.

Nearly half of the murders were specifically tied to white supremacists.

[snip]

It’s important to emphasize that not all extremist violence comes from the right — and that the precise explanation for any one attack can be murky, involving a mixture of ideology, mental illness, gun access and more. In the immediate aftermath of an attack, people are sometimes too quick to claim a direct cause and effect. But it is also incorrect to pretend that right-wing violence and left-wing violence are equivalent problems.

[snip]

If you talk to members of Congress and their aides these days — especially off the record — you will often hear them mention their fears of violence being committed against them.

Some Republican members of Congress have said that they were reluctant to vote for Trump’s impeachment or conviction partly because of the threats against other members who had already denounced him. House Republicans who voted for President Biden’s infrastructure bill also received threats. Democrats say their offices receive a spike in phone calls and online messages threatening violence after they are criticized on conservative social media or cable television shows.

People who oversee elections report similar problems. “One in six election officials have experienced threats because of their job,” the Brennan Center, a research group, reported this year. “Ranging from death threats that name officials’ young children to racist and gendered harassment, these attacks have forced election officials across the country to take steps like hiring personal security, fleeing their homes, and putting their children into counseling.”

[snip]

At the rally that preceded the Jan. 6 attack, Representative Mo Brooks suggested the crowd should “start taking down names and kicking ass.” Before she was elected to Congress, Marjorie Taylor Greene supported the idea of executing Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi and other top Democrats. Representative Paul Gosar once posted an animated video altered to depict himself killing Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and swinging swords at Biden.

[snip]

There is often overlap between these violent threats and white supremacist beliefs. White supremacy tends to treat people of color as un-American or even less than fully human, views that can make violence seem justifiable. The suspect in the Buffalo massacre evidently posted an online manifesto that discussed replacement theory, a racial conspiracy theory that Tucker Carlson promotes on his Fox News show.


It is far past time for Republican leadership to shut down the violent and ignorant rhetoric coming from their ranks. As Liz Cheney says, "“History has taught us that what begins with words ends in far worse."

LOL

Your 2020 Summer of Terror murdered 25 innocent people, while Kamala Harris bailed out the perps so they could kill more.

What the hell is wrong with you people?

This is just the way it works now. If my tribe isn't clearly responsible for absolutely 100% of something, then my tribe is responsible for NOTHING. 0%. It's all your tribe's fault.

This is the binary, juvenile thinking that has destroyed our fundamental ability to communicate with anyone who dares to disagree with us. Simple communication is broken.

It's playing a large part in our rapid decay. You can't fix or improve something without honest communication.

What the OP of this thread is unwilling to admit is that almost ALL of the violence comes from the Left, NOT the right. What a moron.

I loved how he piroutted to replacement theory right away when he couldn't defend the stats!

This is how the disingenuous G-50 Cent boogies.

You repeat empty liberal talking points

More deaths occur in blue cities across the US than in all of those incidents every week.

You actually believed this dishonest horseshit article?

 

[Godboy]

You are conflating everyday murders with murders motivated by political extremism.

Nice try.

There are FAR more political extremists on the left (obviously), but im not sure why you care about the motivations of murderers. Why would that matter?

This is rich. A lefty complaining about violence.

Let's talk about the deliberate planning, funding, and logistical support of racial riots all summer long - BY THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

The left doesn't have a leg to stand on when it comes to violence

 

[BasicHumanUnit]

Obvious Troll thread....
this should be in the flaming zone.

 

[scruffy]

LOL

Did you ever notice the lefties never respond to this one?

Cause they know it's true. So do I, cause I was there. Saw it all with my beady little eyes.

I'm going to rub this in their faces every chance I get. Because progtards are evil human beings. They need to be tossed into the political bonepile of history.

Progtards have ZERO respect for boundaries.

They are immoral human beings, they don't care who they hurt to achieve their political ends

Which is basically terrorism. Progtards are snowflake terrorists without weapons.

 

[sealybobo]

Did you read his manifesto?
The guy was a leftist.

Define leftist. Yesterday a Republican friend called biden a fascist. You guys are stupid.

 

[sealybobo]

I think that liberal dem officials would report an obvious politically motived hate crime, as just a regular hate crime, if the crime did not fit the narrative.


View attachment 645892

They didn’t make a big deal about it being a hate crime when Muslims shoot people because they don’t want you guys attacking Muslims in retaliation.

Blacks won’t retaliate for the ten dead this weekend. Maybe.
