Holy shit, people are still trying that lie? We’ve known that’s a lie for a while:

Reality means nothing to conservatives or they wouldn’t be conservatives.
I heard a guy with a theory that it’s all kayfabe and it makes so much sense. They know it’s a lie and they believe it because it’s more satisfying than reality.
So it’s like covfefe?
It’s such a flagrant lie, too. I mean, it’s not like it’s in the realm of close, of that it depends on how you interpret the data - there are way more on the right, period.
No, see, they are wholesome Christians who worship guns and fear mongering. They love phrases like fuck around and find out, don’t tread on me (or else), and something along the lines of this house is protected by Smith and Wesson. But Lincoln was a Republican killed by Democrats, so they are evil murderers. Please ignore that in today’s politics he would have been a far left woke Democrat killed by a Republican…
In reality they aren’t true conservatives. They are a perverted and warped version that was invented to fulfill the MAGA Nazi agenda.
He is projecting
GOP
His lips are moving.
Q: How can you tell when Donald Trump is lying? A: The tip of his ear is missing.
Right-wing extremists were just as likely to commit violent acts as those motivated by Islamic extremism, the researchers found. Left-wing extremists were a distant third.
Word.
The only thing white people are actually currently embracing with supremacy: violence against their own citizens.
There should be consequences to blatant lies from the media and our politicians.
There are, already; their preferred candidates usually get a bump in polling. Why let the truth stand in the way of that?

I can’t find anything in the article that suggests a reporter called out his lies to his face.
We need some real journalists covering these ghouls, not stenographers.
If the Left perpetrated violence the way the Right says we do, we’d have executed most of their leaders by now.
I’m anti-violence, fwiw. It’s one of the reasons I believe we’re gonna lose in the longterm. We have fucking morality and ethics to contend with and they just lie and cheat openly and shamelessly.
Not true. Groups that are made up of altruistic individuals who work together are more successful than groups made up of individuals out for themselves. That’s part of the reason why democracy has prevailed over monarchy and despotism.
But it prevailed through … checks notes… violence.
Not just violence, ultra-violence. All rights are won through violence.
Abortions are political violence according to the right.
They would probably agree with you on that one.
And murdering abortion providers are actual murders
The people listening to him don’t give two shits about the truth.
Uh, January 6th? I’m pretty sure the sum total of political violence on that day swamps everything else for years.
This is the “bloodless revolution” psycho.
They keep lying, and maybe we should make it come true if they want a dictatorship.
Right-wing extremists were just as likely to commit violent acts as those motivated by Islamic extremism, the researchers found. Left-wing extremists were a distant third.
I can’t speak for every leftist, but I don’t think anything can really be accomplished through individual, random acts of violence. Then again, I don’t really think very much of anything can be accomplished through any means, really. I’ve come to see hope as futile and change as impossible. But, I do think acts of violence are especially futile. Plus, I don’t really want to hurt anyone, even people I don’t like very much.
Several things can be accomplished: instilling fear, forcing disproportionate responses, provide thinly veiled excuses for… well, almost anything.
It’s just that there’s nothing positive that can be accomplished that way.
Lasting change only comes with compassion and understanding. Violence does not create either of those.
I’m pretty sure if you, like, locked the doors at cpac and filled the rooms with carbon monoxide so they all died, you’d accomplish quite a lot. It wouldn’t fix everything, but a lot of evil doers would be gone.
I don’t know, I’m not so sure. The problems are systemic, not necessarily a result of a few people of poor moral character just doing evil things. So, even if you eliminate all the evil-doers, because they were products of the system, new evil-doers will emerge to take their place, so long as the system remains unchanged.
I fuckin wish
If sick burns and pointing out logical fallacies are political violence, he’s absolutely right, GOP gets brutalized daily.
Ah yes the extremely violent left which is failing because its always trying to play by the rules and be politically correct while the right does whatever they want.
