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.

Perhaps the left should stop it's threats and attacks then, huh?

Sure...and rein in your president and the white suoremacists while your at it please.

Leftwing nutbag says what?

 

[Oddball]

Is this a left wing joke? We are the violent one's now? Are you fucking serious? Two years of you assholes shooting up baseball fields, attacking people eating dinner and accosting them in airports or elevators and basically being obnoxious masked fucking pussies burning shit down is now us being violent?

Fuck you. You haven't seen violence dumb ass. Once we bring it you're fucked. Keep pushing you assholes. You shall see.

On November 8, 2016, the United States entered into a period of Reactionary politics and public discourse...

RE-action... in response to ACtions on the part of Leftists...

What actions?

Dems taking sides with Muslims rather than their own Western cultural brethren and countrymen...

Dems taking sides with Illegal Aliens rather than their own countrymen...

Dems taking sides with sexual deviants and perverts (a.k.a. homosexuals) rather than Decent Folk...

Dems spawning the Era or Political Correctness and Public Shaming against anyone who dared oppose their Agenda...

Dems going on a 8-year-long America-Apologizes-to-the-World Tour, and embarrassing the $hit out of most of us...

Dems drawing Red Lines in the sand then limp-wristedly backing down when such lines were crossed..

Dems stumbling from one foreign policy disaster to another...

Dems selling-out American Labor and allowing millions of jobs to go to slave-labor shops in China and India and Mexico and the like...

Dems screwing-over one of their own in the 2016 Primaries... the "fix" was in... and young folks didn't even realize it...

Dems allowing the slaughter of State Department staff and then lying about their culpability and pleading impotence afterwards...

Dems arrogantly ignoring White Straight Christian Middle America and leaning on minorities and children to hold onto power...

Dems serving-up an Elitist Establishment Candidate with more horns on her than a desert lizard...

Dems feigning cluelessness as to why they lost on November 8, 2016, when they simply lacked the courage to admit their grave deficiencies...

And on and on and on...

Americans apparently became so disgusted with Liberal $hit that they voted-in the first Populist to identify the Dem's Achilles Heel...

Now, Americans are routinely articulating their disgust for The Left and their intention not to allow it to obtain power again anytime soon.

The OP is the typical type of gaslighting post which attempts to justify the atrocious behavior of the Left by demonizing non-violent behavior of the Right.

I recall the Tea Party being attacked by the left for being MOBS...rather orderly mobs who picked up their own trash and left parks cleaner than they found them.

I recall the people who demonized the Tea Party celebrating the Occupy Wall Street Shitters.

'nuff said.

And for the left...dont take the low road. Michelle Obama is right, not Eric Holder or Maxine Waters.

Yeah, according to you ass backwards commies, conservative speech is violence and and your regressive violence is speech. Van Jones was a perfect profit for your un-American bullshit party, everything inside out and upside down. America told you idiots we'd had a belly full of your crap with the election of Trump and now it's you who refuses to accept the results of an election, keep it up and you won't like the results.

Like all that "non-existent violence" that has happened at the inauguration and several times in Berkeley?

Or that "non-existent" bicycle lock that a lunatic college prof was clobbering people with?

Or all that "nonexistent" pepper spray that antifa goons have been spraying on innocent onlookers?

This shit is ridiculous, even by WaPo's already low standards.

Look here Oddball, Trump started this shit during the campaign. Forgot that, already?

Watching the Left cave and crumble is fucking awesome...start assembling your safe spaces and cry closets now. Your anything goes, no boundaries free for all bullshit has ended...You begged for this shit...you had to have men in dresses shitting next to little girls and you had to have your filthy illegal wetbacks...you fucked yourselves big time and woke the sleeping giant, now he’s bitch-slapping you daily. Sucks huh?

Go ahead; release that seething anger within your Trumpbeing. Anger management classes are free for GOP members

Non-violence is less of a threat than violence.

Well maybe for someone whose head is so far stuck up his ass that it can only be removed via violent means.
