Stop pretending this is a problem shared equally by both sides. The more liberal you are, the more likely you are to justify political violence, whereas the opposite is true on the Right.
The left is now a revolutionary movement - socialist, Islamist, Woke - and believe violence is acceptable to further the revolution. With few exceptions, this is the future of the Democratic Party. Socialists and progressive Democrats like Bernie, Warren, Ro, the Squad, have embraced the revolution and are fueling it. For so-called mainstream Democrats, it is cynical political calculation that lasts only until they are no longer useful to revolutionaries.
We have to be willing to enter the fire to save our future for our childrens....How many people snuck out of Cuba? Because Florida is so close and Castro didn't care.
Still Communist,,people still escaping,,,Imagine that was your life? Hell in a cage..Yet heaven only 60 miles northwest...Miami...Those people knew that it could be death from sharks..they did it.
An excellent article, Batya! It brings to us a painful truth. Political violence is predominantly only on one side these days, the left. Liberals and progressives are more likely than moderates or conservatives to say political violence is justified. This isn’t the “peace, love and understanding” left of the 1960s and 1970s, this is the modern day left who’s all about using any means necessary to achieve their goals. Hasan Piker has openly embraced crime and the murder of the rich. The left celebrated Luigi Mangione for murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. A Bernie Sanders supporter shot Louisiana Congressman Steve Scalise at the Congressional Baseball Field. Antifa attacks conservatives and anyone else they disagree with, riots, attack ordinary people and members of the press, doxx people, threaten people, show up at their houses, and have shot Border Patrol agents. BLM and Antifa set fire to cities and rioted in the streets after the whole George Floyd hoax. Pro-Palestinian and Pro-Hamas protesters marched across the streets of America and college campuses chanting for the genocide of the Jewish people, the destruction of the state of Israel and celebrating the horrific events of October 7th.
THREE count em’ THREE assassination attempts have been made on President Trump. I thought it was crazy Gerald Ford was almost assassinated twice, Donald Trump sadly, broke that record. It’s like the 1970s all over again with all this far-left political violence. The SPLC happily funded the KKK, the National Socialist Party of America and other odious groups to go around causing chaos. They were behind Charlottesville as well it turns out. This is NOT to say political violence from the right never happens. But it is not in any way, shape or form proportionate to the political violence that comes from the left. I seriously had someone I used to follow on Instagram DM me last night after I chastised her for saying “there comes a time when political violence is justified”, “Trump was literally about to start World War 3. Don’t you think he should be taken out by any means necessary?” No, no I don’t, and I disagree with him on many issues. Doesn’t mean he needs or deserves, to be gunned down. I promptly unfollowed her and will never speak to her again. I’m an independent moderate who votes for folks from both parties. I am on the left on social issues and often disagree with the President on policy in this area, but I would never want him or members of his family to be killed.
"The left celebrated Luigi Mangione for murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson"
Not caring the Luigi Mangione was a trust-fund wealthy kid enjoying life in Hawaii while Brian Thompson was a self-made man whose father was a blue collar worker at a grain elevator in the Midwest.
Plenty of leftist violence back in the 1960s and 1970s. JFK killed by a communist. RFK killed by a Palestinian who said he did it become RFK supported Israel. The Weatherman. The urban riots that were far worse than the BLM riots. Violent antiwar riots. Manson. The attempts on Gerald Ford, one by a political leftist and the other by a Manson girl. Angela Davis. The Symbionese Liberation Army. The Black Panthers.
Remember its Flower Power,,,not flowers, or peace and flowers...The command not invitation....Be sure to wear flowers in your hair,,if you are going to San Francisco..
What they are saying is if you are not with us don't come..IF you are not with us then you are against US...They whole 60's was that..Read the lyrics and speeches...Now they are violent because they expected the takeover should have come already.
Well said. I'm not holding my breath until anyone on the left agrees with this article though. If there are any decent human beings on the left, they should hang their heads in shame, point to this article and ask "What is wrong with us? Why do we act like this?" Because it's all true.
They never will, they will call it extreme right propaganda..Only way to kill communism is to remove all the communists..teaching giving them ultimatum...If its war then we all know the means. How many American women killed by illegals in the last 2years? No one cares
We need to tell the truth, instead of pretending. Thank you Batya. Violence has been encouraged, justified, and celebrated by the Left and all its useful idiots.
There is definitely a double standard in legacy media on the political violence. Can’t imagine if a democrat candidate for President was repeatedly targeted by assassins or a democrat figure like Charlie Kirk , or supreme court liberal justices that there wouldn’t be a non stop tirade about right wing extremism destroying democracy. Instead they platform lunatics like Hassan Piker justifying terrorism and assasination as some sort of f’ed up morality. Pathetic
They don't see this as violence,,they see War and know they are conducting it to overthrow the US and institute Marxist government,,socialist paradise,,warmth of collectivism,,power it taken by force...Republicans are standing in their way,,Americans are asleep. How long have they been saying,,,stolen land, bad to the bone,,birth of America a crime...They believe the declaration and constitution is bad because it was done by white christians ....We are starting to resemble the Jews from 1930s Berlin,,,asleep and in denial...If we preach peace and be nice they will stop and go away...NOT
The Left always gets a free pass with political violence and violent threats. Remember Kathy Griffin's 2017 video of Trump's severed head? That's what passes for "comedy" on the Left, or maybe they view it as "intellectual analysis".
It is their sick fantasy they want,,,they would dance if they saw it ----just like the Arabs in brooklyn and Paterson on September 11th..This is the real world,,most of human history is war and death.
Time to replace the phrase HATE CRIME with a new phrase that is more appropriate: CRIMES OF HATERS.
The new term encompasses not just the actual violent perp but all those who brew and foment the hate and who then attempt to ignore or rationalize the hate that has become their lifeblood. And of course those who publicly or privately celebrate the crime in question or , when the perp falls short lament that the attempt was not successful.

YES,,we must answer with a Freedom revolution
We have to be willing to enter the fire to save our future for our childrens....How many people snuck out of Cuba? Because Florida is so close and Castro didn't care.

Academia has been training left-wing activists and providing no moral guardrails. The survey provides the evidence.
And why is this scum still breathing oxygen? I Gus’s they were afraid to draw their guns because they might shoot themselves in the foot.
This looks like the run up to the Spanish Civil War.
Love your News National show but as an old baby boomer I don’t indulge these snot nosed asexual little wimps that are dumb as a box of 🐄 💩

@tamburello57 learns her lesson.
The path to wisdom is paved with reality.
good job batya!
