As the right whines about imaginary attacks by the left, they won’t speak of their own very real violence. Their claims of ‘assaults’ by the left have no proof, facts and evidence. If these incidents are so prevalent, how come no one’s heard of them? There’s dozens of verifiable attacks by the right. Where are those by the left?
The right does this to deflect attention from itself. Like Donald Trump distracting people from the Epstein files. Despite all he’s done, none of it mattered. After every atrocity, people still ask “ but when are you releasing the Epstein files? When everyone from Elizabeth Warren to Marjorie Taylor Greene asks the same thing, you know you’re in trouble.
A report highlighting terror attacks was censored by Trump’s Injustice Dept. From 1990 to 2020, it listed some of the most horrific attacks on America not counting 9/11. In the report you’re denied seeing, it noted 227 attacks by the Right resulting in 520 deaths! No wonder they got rid of it. “Only 42 incidents of politically-motivated homicide — 15.6% of all incidents — involved far-Left extremists.” That means 84.4% of the deaths were from the Right. Here are just a few examples from the last 30 years.
The Oklahoma City Bombing was the greatest act of terrorism on American soil before 9/11. Of the 168 people who died, 19 were children. Timothy McVeigh, a right wing thug, was convicted of it. Take the 168 people who died here from the 520 deaths overall, about 33% of all deaths from 1990 to 2020 took place in one day!
The greatest act of violence this decade was the January 6th terrorist attack on America. Trump’s rabble attacked the Capitol and did millions of dollars in damage. Five police officers died because of 1/6. Trump pardoned these cop killers, calling them patriots and hostages.
The Trump mob chanted “hang Mike Pence” because he refused to change the election outcome.
In 2015 a white supremacist killed nine Black people during a church service in Charleston, SC.
In 2017, the Unite the Right Rally had Nazis, Klansmen and others marching in Charlottesville, Va. A terrorist rammed his car into a crowd killing one person. Donald Chump made his infamous comment “there were good people on both sides.” One side had Nazis and the Klan.
Closer to home, right-wing terrorists tried to kidnap Gov. Whitmer in 2020.
In April 2022, a white supremacist murdered 10 Black people in Buffalo, NY.
In October, 2022, an attacker beat and almost killed Nancy Pelosi’s husband. The late but not great Charlie Kirk actually told people to send money for Pelosi’s attacker.
In 2025, four people died in Grand Blanc. The shooter said Mormons were the anti-Christ. There are pictures of Trump signs on the shooter’s lawn last year and of him wearing a Trump T-Shirt. People don’t wear political T-Shirts unless they support what’s on the shirt.
Trumpers say what about Charlie Kirk? The shooter was an inactive voter. He wasn’t a member of Democratic Socialists of America. Speculation says a leftist did it, the facts say Kirk had a well known and years long feud with far-right groups. The feud was so bad it was called a war. Who’s to say one of them didn’t do it?
Why is the Right more violent than the Left? It’s all about their ideologies. The Left is based on inclusivity, the Right on exclusivity. The Left welcomes everyone while the Right excludes everyone who doesn’t fit their expectations. It’s why the NAACP, the ACLU and other groups openly admit people of all races, creeds and colors. The Right refuses to.
Groups on the right include Nazis, the Klan, militia groups, etc. If you’re not a White, Christian, male, get lost. Want proof? When’s the last time you saw a Black person at a Nazi rally? When’s the last time you saw a Muslim at a Proud Boys meeting?
The left gave you Social Security, the eight-hour workday, the five-day work week, Medicaid, voting rights, Headstart and daycare. That silence you hear is what the right gave you.
So before you believe it’s a leftist attack, check out who’s saying it, who the attacker was and who was attacked. In most cases you’ll find the violence was caused by the right.
When you get your Social Security and Medicaid, when you drop off your child at daycare and go to your eight-hour job, thank a liberal. They’re the ones who got these rights for you.
