    The Right doesn’t care about facts. They believe something, which in their heads is immutable, something like “women are weaker than men”, and any facts or statistics that exist either validate this truth, or, to them, are false. Any lie that’s said is fine, because it’s in service to this immutable “truth”, because they are right and facts don’t matter in comparison to the “truth” so it’s pretty irrelevant as long as you’re fighting for the “truth”.

    This is why arguing with these people with facts and statistics doesn’t work, because they can lie and dismiss whatever they want and you have to research. It can help the people on the sidelines sometimes, but that’s about it.

    Militant, nationalistic, white supremacist violent extremism has increased in the United States. In fact, the number of far-right attacks continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism. Since 1990, far-right extremists have committed far more ideologically motivated homicides than far-left or radical Islamist extremists, including 227 events that took more than 520 lives.[1] In this same period, far-left extremists committed 42 ideologically motivated attacks that took 78 lives.[2]

    1. The Left is Violent
    2. Therefore everyone who commits violence is on The Left
    3. Any violence committed by the Right is in self defense
    4. Because they’re always being attacked by the Left

    QED.

    Sorry if this makes you mad, liberals. Maybe stop being so violent and join ICE like the rest of us.

    One study published by the libertarian Cato Institute found that since 2020, right-wingers have accounted for over half of terror-related deaths in the United States, with left-wingers at 22 percent. Another study from the Public Religion Research Institute found that those who were more opposed to Trump were more likely to oppose political violence as well.

      Okay but that’s the CATO institute, which is an extremist Marxist publication that hates America and wants our county to be destroyed by illegal immigrants.

    You know that when they so freely talk qbout left vs. right, it’s not really a thing, or it’s not really important. What they never even dare to mention is ‘class war’ and that’s what they are really afraid of.

    It’s crazy how so many of our nations leaders can just go up there and tell bold face blatant lies and there’s absolutely no consequences.
    Like, they don’t even pretend to care about being honest. They’ve long since realized that there’s no repercussions for lying (not any real ones at least). So now, they just spew them endlessly, we live in a post-truth world.
    Facts don’t matter anymore, integrity is liability.

      This isn’t even massaging the numbers to make the statistics lie. It’s just more bald-faced damn lies.
