It probably doesn't qualify as political violence while the murders of Pretti and Good could definitely be classified as political violence.BDKJMU wrote: ↑Mon Mar 23, 2026 4:29 pmAnd I wonder what the #s would look like if you included the illegal aliens violence with the left in 2025. After all that is a product of the left, and they love defending criminal illegal aliens.UNI88 wrote: ↑Mon Mar 23, 2026 12:34 pm
Ganny is right - "jihadist is neither left nor right. It's very much outside of the US political spectrum."
Jihadists are interesting - they're more likely to be defended by the left but ideologically/philosophically they have more in common with the right (subservient roles for women, belief in the righteousness of their religion and willingness to force it on others).
Regardless, even if you add the left and jihadists together they're less than or equal to the rightists when it comes to political violence until 2025 when rightist violence dropped significantly (I wonder why and I wonder what the numbers would look like if ICE/CBP violence was included with the rightists in 2025).
Keep trying to deflect attention from the reality that political violence by the right > political violence by the left.
