Right-wing warnings pose far more danger to America than left-wing violence
Authoritarians historically have gained power by pointing to non-existent violence from their opponents.
In a recent address to right-wing evangelical leaders, President Trump warned that Democrats will resort to brute force if they win the midterm elections. “They will overturn everything we’ve done and they will do it violently,” said Trump, presenting his political opponents as an imminent threat to freedom of religion and speech.
This statement builds on a narrative that has gained power on Fox News and social media. It has been fed by conservative media outlets like Breitbart and organizations like the National Rifle Association, which has also publicly threatened journalists.
But the story that a wave of left-wing terrorism threatens America is wrong. The poster child for this false narrative is antifa, a small, weak organization that protests white supremacist aggression.
The real threat of violence comes from the right. The Anti-Defamation League’s Center on Extremism reports that right-wingers and white supremacists were responsible for 74 percent of the murders committed by political extremists in the United States over the past decade. Only 2 percent were committed by left-wing radicals. Alex Nowrasteh, an immigration policy analyst at the libertarian Cato Institute, has calculated that “terrorists inspired by Nationalist and Right Wing ideology have killed about 10 times as many people as Left Wing terrorists since 1992.”
What’s more, white supremacists and their fellow travelers have strong connections to the establishment right and are far more organized than the antifa. They seek to provoke confrontation through armed marches onto college campuses and into the centers of liberal-leaning cities, like the confrontation in Charlottesville last summer.
These narratives about aggressive left-wing violence aren’t just distorted. They are dangerous, because they set the stage for replacing democratic institutions with authoritarian rule. Provoking street violence and blaming it on their opponents is exactly how totalitarian regimes have gained power in the past.
Perspective | Right-wing warnings pose far more danger to America than left-wing violence
Non existent violence? What about cutting off Trump's head, holding it up with all the blood dripping down and calling it 'comedy?' What kind of sick fucker does that? What about antifa violence? What about a Democrat shooting a congressman at a ball game? What about Maxi Waters telling people to attack Republicans at gas stations and restaurants? WTF are you even talking about? Oh wait......I get it now....You and your ilk are ALWAYS 'victims'....I think I get it now.....If lefties attack it's because someone said something 'bad.'
Authoritarians like Trump also create short narratives that are easy for their subjects to remember and repeat, like parrots.
Trump's latest is "Democrats produce mobs, Republicans create jobs", and of course, "Lock her up".
Their minds being simple and empty, they embrace these buzz phrases as truth.

If no one knows his motive which you admit, then deliberately labeling it leftwing is a lie.Umh...why do you guys lie? The Vegas killer was not a leftist, he was a gun nut. No motive established. If you are going to lie you arent worth the time.Some food for thought here.
Right-wing warnings pose far more danger to America than left-wing violence
While I appreciate your concerns for undue rhetoric, many warnings are based and grounded in hard reality. For the time being, I'll still consider by far Left-Wing Violence as being the greater danger by a mile.
Congressman Steve Scalise Gravely Wounded in Alexandria Baseball Field Ambush
At least 59 killed and 527 injured in mass shooting at Las Vegas concert
If you don't know his motive, then how do you know I'm wrong?
And lying is a CONSCIOUS, deliberate action; if no one knows his motive, then I might be wrong, but that doesn't mean I'm lying.
Let's put it this way to you: the guy singled out a Country-Western concert to shoot hundreds of people. Now Country-Western music is most notoriously a music genre associated with the South and Midwest, regions of the highest population of generally the most conservative people. So take from that what you like. It's called circumstantial evidence. If you have better evidence that he was a conservative wishing to shoot other conservatives, thought he was shooting liberals or just didn't even care, I'm willing to listen to your evidence, otherwise, shut up and don't call me a liar when the only evidence we have of motive leans in my direction.
You also ignore the fact thst he explored and scoped out several other venues for an attack including a Lalapalooza concert.
Would the same apply when you post a link that says someone MAY be a white supremacist and there was no proof offered in the article? Did you lie by posting that?If no one knows his motive which you admit, then deliberately labeling it leftwing is a lie.
smear without fear = dems on kaganaugh.W
One of the links in your above post, goes to a Forbes article and while it leaves much of the murders on the Islamists. The article had a piece of information that went along with the topic. Is stated that while left wingnuts only killed 23 people since 1992, however since 2016, the left wing nuts had killed 13 people, while rightwingnuts only killed 5. It seems your hypothesis is flawed.
Another article:
The far-right was responsible for the majority of America’s extremist killings in 2017
In total, extremists killed at least 34 people in 2017. The far-right accounted for 59% of these deaths, or 20 deaths. The report linked several killings to the alt-right movement, which expanded and moved its operations from the internet into the physical world last year. The chaos in Charlottesville, where a counter-protester, Heather Heyer, was killed and dozens were injured after a car driven by a white supremacist plowed into a group of pedestrians, marked the return of neo-Nazi street confrontations. The shift in tactic raises “the likely possibility of more such violent acts in the future,” the report notes.
Should we trust the ADL on this like we trust, say, the ACLU? Or the Southern Poverty Law Center? Just straight up unbiased reporting?
Why should we trust them?
Why should we trust Fox or Brietbart?
They are far more trustworthy than

Once again, your intellectual dishonesty is laid bare....These are all individual incidents, perpetrated by individuals or a couple of miscreants....Not one of the things you've cited point to any instances of large scale organized hooliganism and rioting, which has been the hallmark of antifa goons squads...And the nonsense that transpired in Charlottesviille wouldn't have happened had the dopey tiki torchers been left to their own little demonstration.Of rightwing violence? Lets look at the past year and a half.So tell me child, who demanded maobamas impeachment form the day he was elected on? One or two names of prominent people will do.
.So why do you ignore the violence from the right? Why do you ONLY focus on the left?Just "murders"??? How many is that actually? About 6?
How about intimidation, property damage, street thuggery, and data mining? How many rowdy demonstrations occuring on politicians front yards or in public spaces?
That's the problem with buying numbers on isolated factoids. Let's put it another way. If the Tea Party were to be getting arrested in the HUNDREDS every month --- would that make it even? Don't think so. Would it have been on the FRONT PAGES and had congressional investigations? You bet your ass it would have been..
Party of drama queening and theatrics is turning ugly. And no lipstick is gonna fix it..
No one is ignoring anything, I think we're talking about what's currently happening in politics, do you have any examples in the last few months?

And for those who's memory is selectively short:
Democrats see hypocrisy in GOP attacks on ‘liberal mob’
Similar acts of protest unfolded in 2010, during the rise of the conservative Tea Party movement that sprang up in response to Obama's presidency and the Affordable Care Act.
Democratic town halls all around the country turned rowdy as Tea Party protesters shouted down lawmakers and expressed anger over ObamaCare.
Nearly 1 million conservatives marched to the Capitol building armed with signs and derogatory chants about the "parasite in chief," while a number of Democrats received violent threats and harassment, including a picture of a noose being faxed to Rep. James Clyburn (D-S.C.) and a brick being thrown through the window of the district office of the late Rep. Louise Slaughter (D-N.Y.).
Obama election spurs race threats, crimes
Cross burnings. Schoolchildren chanting "Assassinate Obama." Black figures hung from nooses. Racial epithets scrawled on homes and cars.
Incidents around the country referring to President-elect Barack Obama are dampening the postelection glow of racial progress and harmony, highlighting the stubborn racism that remains in America.
From California to Maine, police have documented a range of alleged crimes, from vandalism and vague threats to at least one physical attack. Insults and taunts have been delivered by adults, college students and second-graders.
Most of the incidents listed by the right are individual incidents as well...defacing signs etc. You just cant or wont accept responsibility for what your side does.
And those tiki torch protesters? They came with the intent of causing a clash. Both had permits as well, to legally protest. But keep making excuses fir how it is somehow "different" when the right dies it.
Some food for thought here.

The only known FACT is that the guy targeted and shot hundreds of country-western fans who are notoriously right-leaning. He tried to massacre them. Pretty safe bet he knew what kind of concert it was. Leftards have a much better established history of this sort of thing than right-wing kooks.
It's utterly hilarious how leftwingers - the people who want to run our lives for us - believe they aren't authoritarians.Some food for thought here.
