Scratch that.
Began long before the last two years.
Began at Occupy Wall Street and has steadily escalated to the vulgar depths of stupidity.
I'll see your Occupy and raise you Tea Party Rallies.
You seriously can not be comparing the Tea Party Rallies with the occupy mobs can you? The Tea Party left the area cleaner when they left then when they arrived. The occupy event had to have safe areas for women because of the rape charges that were happening there.
We're talking about political violence, and yes, if you don't remember, the Tea Party rallies got violent.
I'd love to see a specfic reference for anything you're talking about ... I provided ample evidence for my claims.

Boynton Beach homeowner Jeff Good was just relaxing and enjoying the holiday when a car pulled up and a stranger demanded that he take the flag down and denounced the president.
Mr. Good refused and was punched right in the face by the thug. He then instinctively punched back but got his arm stuck in the car as the driver sped off, dragging the homeowner a short distance resulting in minor injuries.
Anyone else see a trend developing?
No, i don't see any trend developing.
A few years ago we were in the midst of a massive drought where I live... News stories were popping up everywhere of people being physically assaulted by random people out the front of their house, simply because their front garden looked too lush & green.
Point being... this type of crap happens all the time and probably has for the entire existence of civilization as we know it.
Its completely disingenuous to cherry pick these random altercations to vindicate your own political bias and claim some extremist upraising.

Most of what you're seeing is the extremist elements, who are a minority. They get all the attention from the media, but they don't represent the majority of Americans. Most Americans are political moderates or apolitical. We agree on more stuff than we disagree on, a few agitators just make a lot of #ing noise.

There is a developing trend by the left of being violent towards the right.
How would you know theirs a "developing trend"?
Truth is, you only know about the narrative these youtube clips and the right wing MSM is trying to sell to you.

What "claims" specifically do you think requires a link?
Four North Carolina State University students admitted writing anti-Obama comments in a tunnel designated for free speech expression, including one that said: "Let's shoot that (N-word) in the head."
Second- and third-grade students on a school bus in Rexburg, Idaho, chanted "assassinate Obama," a district official said.
University of Alabama professor Marsha L. Houston said a poster of the Obama family was ripped off her office door. A replacement poster was defaced with a death threat and a racial slur. "It seems the election brought the racist rats out of the woodwork," Houston said.
Black figures were hanged by nooses from trees on Mount Desert Island, Maine, the Bangor Daily News reported.
Crosses were burned in yards of Obama supporters in Hardwick, N.J., and Apolacan Township, Pa.
A black teenager in New York City said he was attacked with a bat on election night by four white men who shouted 'Obama.'
In the Pittsburgh suburb of Forest Hills, a black man said he found a note with a racial slur on his car windshield, saying "now that you voted for Obama, just watch out for your house."
Kaylon Johnson, an African American campaign worker for Obama, was physically assaulted for wearing an Obama T-shirt in Louisiana following the 2008 election. The three white male attackers shouted “F### Obama!” and “N##### president!” as they broke Johnson’s nose and fractured his eye-socket, requiring surgery.
Only hours after Obama's election, a predominantly black church in Springfield, Mass., was torched. Three white men were arrested just days before Obama's Jan. 20 inauguration and charged with conspiring to deprive church congregants of their civil rights.

You could always beat them to death with a pipe or run them down en masse with a car?
A drink in the face is a breach of civility.
Trumpites have no credibility denouncing violence.
Violence is an unacceptable form of political expression.

I ordered a MAGA hat just for this reason the other day when I read about those kids that got attacked in that restaurant (by the way I made sure it was made in America). The funny thing is that although I have Amazon prime which gives me free two day shipping I noticed I wasn’t going to receive my hat until the 18th of this month. I looked into it and realized that it was because I had to wait for it to restock before they could ship it. It seems that MAGA hats are selling so fast that even large manufacturing companies cannot make them as fast as they are selling.

Shhh , I was a "Bern" man until he showed his true colors.
But I am very seriously thinking about a nice MAGA hat and sign though.
Dont tell anyone my secret...
