I think it’s fair to say American politics are violent, and it’s not really a partisan thing

    Majority of violence is done by right wing. It is beyond cynical to lie so much and try to pin it on the left. The right is the ones who are the biggest and actual threat to both freedom and democracy - and actual perpetrators of murders and terrorist attacks. And no, j6 were no tourist not peaceful. They were literal violent attempt to prevent votes count.

    It sounds like the left is much more powerful than the right then given that they can overpower them with no repercussion. I think it would probably be best to give into their demands so the right are not further victimized if this is the case.

      Ain't it amazing how powerful the left is and yet we can't even raise the debt ceiling?

    Blowing up buildings, murdering jews, plotting assassinations etc. is substantially damaging. It is "extremist".

        Bombing abortion clinics used to be a fun pastime. Go read a newspaper from the 70s or 80s. The FBI has considered right wing extremism a serious threat to the US since before Ruby Ridge and Waco. The turner diaries was written before either. And the KKK was exactly a militant right wing political group, with members being politicians, sometimes openly.
