10. To a certain extent, picking the victim influences the perpetrator

Logically most people targeting Democrats would be the right wing.

You'd be better off using the total politically influenced murders as that is lopsided with right wing being responsible.

But if you're including property damage, I think that gets a lot less clear. Wouldn't you need to count people vandalizing Tesla dealers and property damage from various protests like Black Lives Matter given those are associated with left wing causes?
