Debunking the Data That Claims to Show Most Political Violence Comes From the Right

  1. This is no surprise anymore, that most of politically motivated violence comes from the Left and Islamists. This is our new reality. While the Right, at least here in the U.S., remains a civilized, law-abiding group.

  2. You barely have to debunk it, just actually read those bogus studies they link. They’re ridiculous. One even included prison killing (by a white supremeacist gang) as right wing violence. If you think that is representative of overall societal or political violence you’re not worth listening to.

  3. But the left generates 5 fraudulent manipulated graphs for this accurate one and since their a cult they refuse to look for themselves. Confirmation bias

    “It’s pretty easy to say that the violence is coming overwhelmingly from the Right if you overwhelmingly edit out any political violence from the Left.”

    That’s what these losers do.  Make the “data” fit their narrative.  This data doesn’t even include the baseball shooting that almost killed Steve Scalise even though it was clear it was politically motivated by a leftist loon. 

  5. The “data” conveniently leaves out most of the left wing violence.

    Such as the Nashville shooting, the Michael Knowles bombing, **The guy that shot Trump**

    Just to name a few…

  6. WSJ conveniently stated violence against the government instead of just political violence. So they leave out moments like Charlie Kirk’s assassination.

    tl;dr – It literally excludes most left-wing violence. It’s not mischaracterization, just total omission.

  8. There’s a scary contingent of militant “right wing” folks in our country. I don’t want to discount them, though I imagine most don’t hold actual right wing, conservative ideology. I’ve watched interviews with undercover cops that have infiltrated these groups. They exist. We disavow these folks, though don’t confuse them with legitimate militias who believe in the constitution. I don’t have any idea how many exist but I doubt many.

    When looking at the other side, however, nothing on the right remotely compares to the chaotic but coordinates mass mob violence and targeted assassination plots like the left. Not to mention their coordinated efforts to threaten and silence people and sway politicians and judges through terrorists.
