White House Plans Broad Crackdown on Liberal Groups

[Wiz Imp]

51. I want to know who are all these conservative victims of radical liberal violence?

In searching, I can only find 2 over the entire past 5 years - Charlie Kirk and Donald Trump. And none of those incidents has yet been proven to be perpetrated by anyone on the "left". All the alleged perpetrators have personal or family history on the far right. Can Trump or any conservative even name another conservative victim? The next most recent one I can find is Steve Scalise being shot but that was over 8 years ago.

Meanwhile, it's easy to name Democratic victims - the 2 Democratic legislators in Minnesota plus their spouses, PA Governor Josh Shapiro, Paul Pelosi, two New Mexico state legislators and two Bernalillo County commissioners were targets of a shooting spree by a Republican who lost an election, MI Governor Gretchen Whitmer was a victim of an attempted kidnapping, U.S. District Judge Esther Salas was the target of an attack by a disgruntled men's rights lawyer which ended up killing her son. And that doesn't even get into Jan 6.

One paper by Celinet Duran of the State University of New York at Oswego studied political violence between 1990 and 2020. It found that there were far more frequent and deadly attacks by the hard-right than the hard-left, although left-wing violence increased throughout the study period. A separate tally by the Anti-Defamation League, an advocacy group, shows that 76% of extremist-related murders over the past decade were committed by those on the right.

I don't know why the labels don't show but the red represents violence by the right, and black represents violence by the left.
