The outpouring over his death has been nothing short of astonishing. I had no idea he had reached so many people. And now all of them - even people who never agreed with him - are seeing who the left is and what these people are about."


Keep guzzling the koolaid, Dope. But I really wish you would wake up. You are being manipulated.

Your lie about the violent left is completely undone by statistics. But you don't care, do you?

The right must claim victimhood to justify their coming victimization of those who hold different opinions.

As of today we still don't know what was motivating his killer, but we do know he came from a conservative Mormon family who loved guns. Father was a sheriff. Radical lefty...unlikely.

Statistically you are just plain wrong...

Based on data from multiple research organizations and government sources, right-wing extremists have been responsible for a significantly higher number of terrorist attacks and deaths in the United States over recent decades compared to left-wing extremists. This pattern has held true in recent years, though some 2025 data shows a shift due to specific large-scale attacks.

Summary of key findings

Source Time Period Key Findings

Cato Institute Since 2020 Right-wing: 54% of politically motivated terrorist murders.
Left-wing: 22% of politically motivated terrorist murders.
Anti-Defamation League (ADL) Past decade (2015–2024) Right-wing: 76% of extremist-related murders.
Left-wing: Significantly fewer deaths, more focused on property damage.
Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) 2010–2021 Right-wing: 353 attacks/plots, 147 deaths.
Left-wing: 126 attacks/plots, 23 deaths.
University of Maryland (START) US and Worldwide (dataset varies) Left-wing: Individuals with left-wing ideologies are less likely to engage in violent, politically motivated acts compared to right-wing individuals in the U.S.

Sorry about the formatting, but it's still easy to see that the right is much more dangerous. Not that that should come as a surprise to anyone paying attention.
