"My first instinct was to come here and lay waste to the clown 🤡 show that runs this board. But then I thought of the lesson that Charlie Kirk taught and what them resorting to violence meant.

The outpouring over his death has been nothing short of astonishing. I had no idea he had reached so many people. And now all of them - even people who never agreed with him - are seeing who the left is and what these people are about."

—Dopey The First, Ashli Babbitt Professor of Replacement Theory at Trump University, Writer-in-Permanent-Residence at MAGA Victims' Institute


"As Trump’s narrative falters on this and so many other fronts, MAGA is moving to the violence of the far right to achieve what he cannot. In that, they are fueled by the right-wing disinformation machine that is whitewashing Kirk’s racism, sexism, and attacks on those he disagreed with and instead portraying Kirk simply as a Christian motivational speaker attacked by a rabid left wing. Trump’s vow to award Kirk the nation’s highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, posthumously reinforces that image.

The refusal of Republican lawmakers to challenge MAGA’s creation of its own reality has opened the way for believers to try to put that world into place through violence. Their victory would end the rule of law on which the United States was founded and base the government on the whims of an authoritarian cabal.

It would make the United States a country in which people who stand in the way of the regime—people like Lisa Cook—would be at the mercy of hostile officials who allege they are committing crimes in order to get rid of them."

—Heather Cox Richardson

Keep guzzling the koolaid, Dope. But I really wish you would wake up. You are being manipulated.

Your lie about the violent left is completely undone by statistics. But you don't care, do you?

The right must claim victimhood to justify their coming victimization of those who hold different opinions.

As of today we still don't know what was motivating his killer, but we do know he came from a conservative Mormon family who loved guns. Father was a sheriff. Radical lefty...unlikely.

Statistically you are just plain wrong...

Based on data from multiple research organizations and government sources, right-wing extremists have been responsible for a significantly higher number of terrorist attacks and deaths in the United States over recent decades compared to left-wing extremists. This pattern has held true in recent years, though some 2025 data shows a shift due to specific large-scale attacks.

Summary of key findings

Source Time Period Key Findings

Cato Institute Since 2020 Right-wing: 54% of politically motivated terrorist murders.
Left-wing: 22% of politically motivated terrorist murders.
Anti-Defamation League (ADL) Past decade (2015–2024) Right-wing: 76% of extremist-related murders.
Left-wing: Significantly fewer deaths, more focused on property damage.
Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) 2010–2021 Right-wing: 353 attacks/plots, 147 deaths.
Left-wing: 126 attacks/plots, 23 deaths.
University of Maryland (START) US and Worldwide (dataset varies) Left-wing: Individuals with left-wing ideologies are less likely to engage in violent, politically motivated acts compared to right-wing individuals in the U.S.


Sorry about the formatting, but it's still easy to see that the right is much more dangerous. Not that that should come as a surprise to anyone paying attention.

I've shown the right this multiple times and it's always denied. And the same people will talk as if the US left is more violent the very next day. Makes no difference.
