Trump administration screwed the pooch big on this. This has got to be a mistrial... it being inferred he was a left wing extremist like some others in the news right now was so stupid... dummies...
This administration is absolutely salivating for a violent leftist attack. It's disturbing.
Well, unfortunately, as of recently, there has been an uptick in violent leftist extremism. If this administration has been expecting violence from the left, unfortunately, the left has certainly delivered.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Please provide evidence of this uptick in violent leftist extremism.
I shouldn't have to do this. This information is being covered by the liberal media, why are yall seeing this? This isn't even an "extraordinary" claim. Its the cognitive dissonance that can keep people from seeing things that challenge their own ideas and beliefs.

You remind me of Julius Streicher. He used the same evidence standards as you do. He argued that left wing violence was out of control. He did so, like you, not through statistics, but anecdote. He would demonize minority groups and ideologies by breathlessly posting the few crimes committed by them, while ignoring the overwhelming number of crimes committed by conservatives or the racial majority. Fascists thrive on anecdotes and hypotheticals and wither in the face of actual statistics.
As for your buddy Streicher? We hanged him in 1946 at Nuremberg for crimes against humanity and incitement to genocide.
I have so little energy to suffer the ignorant...
"Right-wing extremists were responsible for the vast majority of domestic terror attacks and foiled or aborted plots in the past 30 years, followed by Islamic jihadis."
Yes, clearly it's the left that's the problem.
"However, left-wing attacks were very rarely fatal with only two deaths since 2020 - Luigi Mangione's alleged assassination of UnitedHealthcare boss Brian Thompson last year, and Michael Reinoehl's fatal shooting of right-wing protester Aaron Danielson in Portland, Oregon, in August 2020."
Well, so much for your claim of "uptick in violent leftist extremism". Two deaths, and that's giving you Luigi Mangione as an extreme leftist, which itself is a pretty dubious claim.
But hey, at least right wing attacks were down the last few years. I wonder why that might be?
"CSIS said Joe Biden's crackdown on far-right groups after the January 6, 2021, insurrection also helped, as it left extremist movements in disarray."
Oh hmm.... well good thing all of those insurrectionists are still in jail so they can't do any more harm. Oh...wait a minute...
Wasn't really my own claim, im just repeating what many news sources are saying, and in one way or another, they are saying violent leftist extremism is on the rise. Why do you seem so personally irked by this? I haven't really made any other argument other than what I just said. The violence from leftist extremist is on the rise. Thats it. Quit with whataboutisms. It is it what it is. Dont make assumptions, and dont put words in others mouths.
You literally said the following.
Didn't see that being attributed to some news source, or quoted or anything like that. That was something you most definitely claimed.
Though the best part has to be this.
Followed by:
I have to say, you people are hopeless.
"There has been an uptick in violent leftist extremism."
I literally read that somewhere, I even kept the word "uptick". Do you want me to go find the article that literally says "recently, there has been an uptick in violent leftist extremism." Because I bet i could even find that phrase at least a couple times. But please... trying to have will power to educate yourself
So you're just parroting some crap you read somewhere? And we're supposed to just know that because you used a fancy word like "uptick"?
It's pretty clear you're the moron here. Perhaps you should try to educate yourself? You can start with actually reading the articles you claim as a source.
Dude, you're funny. You just want to argue and get upset at something. At first, you were like:
Then you just said:
Lol, you were all like "oh you just made that up!" Then next breath "you just copied that fancy word!" Hahahaha which one makes you madder brother?
Quit making terrible assumptions, and insulting is one of the lowest forms of argument and only reveals your own shortcomings.
You've got 3 fingers pointed back at you.
Well, lets summarize.
First you made a wild claim. Then you got called out on that.
So you trotted out your sources. Then you got called out for completely misrepresenting what those sources said.
So then you're like "nuh-uh, I actually never said that". Then you got called out because yes you really did say exactly that.
Then you're like "No I really didn't say that, I was just quoting......err can't you tell?" Or something like that. And I was like LOL.
And now.... well I actually can't tell what you're trying to say or what point you're even trying to make anymore, if you even have one.
Have a nice day.
