We don’t even really need to check who has been defending or denouncing what if you want to see who’s committing violence, there’s an even more damning statistic.
Number of People Killed in Deadly Attacks in the Post-9/11 Era, by Ideology
-
Far Right Wing: 134
-
Jihadist: 107
-
Ideological Misogyny/Incel Ideology: 17
-
Black Separatist/Nationalist/Supremacist: 13
-
Far Left Wing: 1
It should also be noted that Jihadist terror attacks have almost as many victims as far right terror attacks because the former are just more efficient, but far right terror attacks are far more common. Check the graph in the article.
The fact that the far right candidate has been under a murder attempt by another far right loon is just the cherry on top.
Every accusation is a confession with these assholes.
Also…no one in the history of ranged weapons has ever trained for the ear. Center mass to drop. This was a full on photo op
From the first few paragraphs about fascism on Wikipedia
Fascism rejects assertions that violence is inherently negative or pointless, instead viewing imperialism, political violence, and war as means to national rejuvenation
And the same party that cries about stochastic terrorism now doesn’t believe it either.
Well done.
The conservative subreddit is losing their mind rn. They say calling Trump a threat to democracy is violent rhetoric.
Grasping at all the straws in the world.
They say calling Trump a threat to democracy is violent rhetoric.
They aren’t strictly wrong. When Republicans insisted that Clinton, Obama, and Biden were a threat to democracy, they absolutely intended it as a call to violence.
The hiccup in their reasoning is that the shooter was one of their dudes. The “Trump is a threat to democracy” line isn’t just a GOTV message among Dems. Its an ear-splitting dog whistle from the secessionists and white nationalists who see Jared Kushner as a shadowy (((puppet master))) working Trump’s strings. This call came from inside the GOP’s own house.

Not at all. This is pure projection. Republicans shooting at Republicans, while everyone points at the other and shouts “Double Secret Antifa Infiltrator!” They’ve drunk their own Deep State kool-aid and now they’ve got the long knives out for one another.

Are we going to make calling out Trumpism anti-semetic now?
Its an attitude common to American ultra-nationalists. When you see reactionaries, particularly on the AM Talk Radio circuit, turn on Trump, there’s inevitably a deep strain of anti-semetism used to justify it.
