My point is that the willingness to use violence is increasing across the board. Republicans are the majority but independents and liberals are more willing to accept political violence and there's no telling how that might end
If political violence has been rising across the board, why use an article from five years ago? According to your premise, shouldn’t there be a more recent incident?
Of course nothing is 100%, but ascribing equal weight between 1% and 99% is a false equivalence.
I long for the days when this didn't require explanation.

The acceptance of political violence has risen among independents and Democrats. Republicans are much more likely to support violence but the numbers have risen across the border. This isn't a both sides are equal thing for me it's that there could be sometime important happening in the minds of Americans in general.
What's happening is we'd like someone in authority to start doing something about the fascists.

Support is not action.
A very important distinction
The left loves violence and has almost exclusively perpetuated for the last 5 years. The only reason why the retards on this forum are crying about the right is because the media and all forums are left sided.
I'd have to see some data to support the claim that the left "almost exclusively perpetuated [violence] for the last 5 years"
None of that rings true to me.
Yes, that's why trying to get Congress members to support a ceasefire in Gaza has consisted of sitins and trying to get them to vote for a far right speaker of the house consisted of death threats. Shut the fuck up.
