    I’m starting to think there are more rare instances of left wing violence than common instances of right wing violence.

    In the future, when you watch more of Tyler Robinson’s social media get released to the public and then see him testify at trial, you will see how obvious it is that the claims he was anything other than a pure “reddit leftist” were shameless gaslighting.

    When that happens, please try to think back to all the other times you’ve been lied to.

      There aren’t. The majority of political violence is committed by those with right wing ideologies. That isn’t to say that that can’t change in the future, but we’re a ways away from the right losing that crown.

      This year alone there were more political figures assassinated on the left by the right, than vice versa.
