Facts are pesky things.


Uh, huh. I'm sure none of these "studies" or data sets are conflating incidents or mislabeling things because the left totally doesn't roll that way. For example, the entirety of the billions of dollars of BLM and Antifa (whom the left claims doesn't exist) somehow never gets mentioned in terms of actual political violence.

Or like how every. single. time. a conservative speaker tries to visit a college campus there's a left wing hate mob there to spice things up. Like attacking Riley Gains

Riley Gaines, outspoken critic of transgender athletes, says she was attacked during event at SFSU

Gotta love ABC's choice of headlines, also.

As for your "facts"
https://www.congress.gov/116/b..., you didn't provide the full context.
Here that is:https://www.congress.gov/bill/...

The sponsor is Dick Durbin. That's all I need to say there. Let's let Andrew McCarthy at The Hill do the lifting:

https://thehill.com/opinion/ca...

Antifa, the Orwellian name of a Marxist insurrectionary movement, is a terrorist threat that Democrats insist must not be seen for what it is, nor notice taken of the political ramifications ' certainly, you are not to notice that antifa colludes with such left-wing darlings as Black Lives Matter in attacks on police officers and government installations. White supremacism, by contrast, is a terrorist threat that Democrats are hell-bent on hanging like a leper's bell around the necks of their Republican opposition.

Thus did Durbin indulge the same comparison spouted in the same committee last week by Judge Merrick Garland, President Biden's attorney general nominee: Months of rampant violence by the radical left, exemplified by the siege on a federal courthouse in Portland, is mere criminal vandalism, whereas a few hours of violence by the radical right, carried out at the Capitol on Jan. 6, is domestic terrorism.

Some of us who live in blue cities got to experience literally months of pretty much daily left wing riots carried out by your co-travelers.

I'll sum up: The entire nation got to live through 2+ years of Team lib burning stuff down.

The summer 2020 riots resulted in some 15 times more injured police officers, 30 times as many arrests, and estimated damages in dollar terms up to 1,300 times more costly than those of the Capitol riot. George Floyd rioters were found to have used more sophisticated and dangerous tactics than did the Capitol rioters, and in some cases weapons of greater lethality.
Authorities have pursued the largely Trump-supporting Capitol rioters with substantially more vigor than suspected wrongdoers in the earlier two cases. Many accused Capitol rioters, unlike accused participants in the other riots, have been held in pretrial detention for months ' with one defendant serving more time than the maximum sentence for the charge to which he pleaded guilty. Some allegedly endured solitary confinement and other mistreatment.
With authorities applying lenient prosecutorial standards in many major cities torn by the summer riots, the vast majority of charges last year were dismissed, as were charges in the Inauguration 2017 unrest. Charges have to date been dropped in only a single Capitol riot case.

Facts. Yup. They don't help your case out.
