Its a bell curve. 80% of the population could give a rat's arse.
The 10% on the extreme left or extreme right cause most the problems that the rest of us have to listen to day after day.
Since controversial BS sells, guess who gets most of the attention?

Please change the title if possible to make a distinction between being a Democrat and being a Progressive Liberal calling themselves Democrats because no other Party would have them.
Why Has The Democratic Party Allowed So Many Violent and UnCivil Progressives into a once Honorable Party
Add words such as uncouth , immoral , disrespectful , hades the dictionary is full of words to describe Liberals.(none are good)
I'll see what I can manage. Only so many characters can fit in the Title ya know.

Yet when you look at incidents over the past 2 years, the vast majority have been committed by DEMOCRATS against REPUBLICANS.
i dont know one way or the other but why we only looking at 2 years?
why not look at the past 25 or 50 years?
If you can find more statistics, by all means, please share them. Like I said in the O.P., the information is hard to come by.
In the real world, since the end of the Vietnam era, the overwhelming majority of serious political violence—not counting vandalism or punches thrown at protests, but violence with lethal intent—has come from the fringes of the right. Heidi Beirich, director of the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Intelligence Project says that “if you go back to the 1960s, you see all kinds of left-wing terrorism, but since then it’s been exceedingly rare.”
Mark Pitcavage, a senior research fellow at the Anti-Defamation League’s Center on Extremism, told NPR that “when you look at murders committed by domestic extremists in the United States of all types, right-wing extremists are responsible for about 74 percent of those murders.
A 2015 survey of law-enforcement agencies conducted by the Police Executive Research Forum and the Triangle Center on Terrorism and Homeland Security found that the police rate antigovernment extremists as a greater threat than reactionary Islamists. The authors wrote that “right-wing violence appears consistently greater than violence by Muslim extremists in the United States since 9/11, according to multiple definitions in multiple datasets.”
George Wilhelm Hegel, the German philosopher, developed a format for applying ‘dialectics’ to almost everything in society, especially in the political arena. Hegel’s dialectic philosophy placed “ reason above facts and revelation in seeking truth and becomes a forum for ‘moving people away from absolute truth or values toward a group consensus in order to accomplish ‘group goals.’”

You're saying that both parties commit violent acts against the other, but the liberal acts get the media attention?

Desperation.
They know their emotional arguments can only go so far.
Once facts enter the picture they generally have nothing to stand on.
Violence is the last gasp of any ideology, it will make or break it.

Southern Poverty Law Center ... there is a problem with your research. Hate groups generate suspect research.
