It's just gonna keep getting worse. Their leaders keep inciting them and getting them worked up. We gotta start holding the people in charge responsible or they're gonna keep getting worse.

Well

There was Jan 6.

The attempted kidnapping of Gretchen Whitmer.

Apparently there's been an increase on attacks of the LGBT community.

Any signs of them shutting the fuck up yet?

Slowing down even?

No?

Stochastic terrorism.

E: Just take a moment once in a while to see what they're spewing. It's usually along the lines of...

The messaging is basically:

  • "these people are destroying America (they're taking your guns, they're replacing you, they're taking your jobs)."

  • "You're great American patriots"

  • "They're the enemy, they're the enemy, they're the enemy..." (echoed ad nauseam in various forms sometimes directly and mostly indirectly)

There's going to be a whole security industry that develops around preventing attacks from right wing extremists.

The security industry seems like the last people you'd want to do this. For the same reason you don't ask the mob to guard your bank vault.

Not worried about Frequency I'm worried about magnitude. One of these days some of them might find out who Timothy McVeigh was and then things will be stepped up significantly.

Depends on how many folks willing to do 5-10 years for a past president that most likely be dead by the end of their sentence

I think they will only get worse until they have control of the government. I believe many are hoping for a civil war which they are sure they will win because they have more guns.

It wasn't someone they knew. It was a right wing nut who wanted to hold the speaker hostage and break her knees if he didn't like what she said.

Yeah, easily led people like him often end up as people like you -- a turd-polishing little Trumpie shit.

Jesus fucking Christ OP, have some fucking perspective and realize that political violence is coming from BOTH sides!

I think that Left Wing violence might be more common because theres a sentiment that they can get away with it, something which an accused murderer of a Right Wing Teenager admitted...

But no, by all means, just scapegoat the other side, because the other side is evil... Absolutely pathetic!

The op has perspective. Their perspective is that right wing violence is evil, and left wing violence is justified.

That's not how this works. Only the Right promotes QANON & Political violence.

They own all of it now.

I downvoted your comment because clearly the guy was fucking nuts. Not just "left" or "right" or whatever.

He fell into the media rabbit hole that is currently highly aggressive these days towards perceived "leftists."

You tell me why.
