Where as, Trump, is actually the one who tried to steal the election. And failed. He has gotten away with it, because his supporters voted him back into office.

There's no end to the stupidity of some of the Trump supporters. They keep pimping his fake story.


Trump was the one who did all the mail-in ballot fraud? Really?

Statistics don't lie, you can see the death rates from various actions.... And, your statement is simply false.


I have seen left wing riots many times in my life. I do not recall any from the right. Starting in the 60s. 1860s if you include the Civil War.

There are lies, damn lies, and statistics.

You can't just encompass riots you have to look at all political violence. Right wing extremists kill far more in politically motivated attacks than left wing extremists.

Also, riots tend not to be that damaging (as far as deaths,) it tends to just result in property damage.

OK. Then lets include left wingers disrupting peaceful demonstrations and speeches on the right. Remember when they threw pies at Ann Coulter?

When we are comparing death stats property damage is irrelevant...

Yes, stupidity is part of it, but I think many if not most of them feel impotent in their life and get a vicarious thrill watching the oaf bully, threaten and bluster.

I am not comparing death stats. I am pointing out that the violence on the left is many times the violence on the right. This week is just proving it yet again.

Wrong, but that's your norm, eh?

I googled and AI spit this out...

"AI Overview
In the United States, right-wing extremist violence has been more prevalent and deadly than left-wing violence. While both sides of the political spectrum have engaged in violence, data and studies consistently point to a greater frequency and severity of attacks and plots originating from the far-right.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:

Right-wing violence is more frequent and lethal:
.

Studies and reports from organizations like the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) indicate that right-wing actors are responsible for the majority of extremist-related fatalities and attacks in the U.S.
Examples of right-wing violence:
.
Right-wing extremist groups have been responsible for numerous high-profile terrorist attacks, including the Oklahoma City bombing and attacks targeting minority groups and institutions.
Left-wing violence:
.
While left-wing groups have also engaged in violence, it tends to be less frequent and often involves property damage rather than fatalities."
