They’re both bad of course, but one side does it far more often. It’s a matter of degree.

You're just reinforcing the OP.
Violent leftist assaults are almost 400% higher than those committed by Trump supporters. And that's not even getting into property damage and vandalism.
So one is worse than the other....??
How about, they are equally dumb?
Peace
My friend, you better pray we don’t continue to turn the cheek to these assaults. Conservatives are a much tougher and better armed breed. If violent responses to these abuses were to become the norm, you would see some very sad leftist assailants; quite a few would be very dead. Conservatives, in general, just want to be left alone to live their lives the best they can. Don’t mistake that for weakness.

You Trumpsters are addicts of victim mentality.
Soon we'll have threads about "silent genocide" of Trump supporters.
Lol.
I switched from registered Democrat to registered Republican three years ago because I finally realized the dems don’t care about white men or American workers in general. I’m not saying Republicans are perfect; too many of them still want to import cheap foreign labor to supplant Americans. But you only have two realistic choices when voting, and I vote for the lesser of two evils.

I think if I were to label myself as a traditional liberal or as someone concerned with the common American, I would have some serious depression. The DNC is supposed be all about them.
Right now the DNC is all about...I don't know. But the party to whom I would traditionally align myself with is gone.
The population to which they are catering, is tiny. Crazy and loud but tiny. I would not want to be associated with them.
So who do I go with? Right now things are doing pretty well or at least as well as imperfect Republics do. So... I go with 'keep the good going''? Or I go with 'we love crazies!'?

Interesting and somewhat relative to Christianity and preachers in the church
I have noted many who yell and rant at the congregation, almost in anger and demeaning. I have noted it so often in charismatic churches, talking down and in anger, anger, arrogance and superiority.
I expect it’s because the message is so baseless and stupid that inciting emotion and superiority is the only way to get a reaction.
That this happens in politics is not surprising though I have not noticed it
Pretty silly of people to swallow this contempt and allow themselves to be patronised by fools
I won’t stay in a church where some trumped up arrogant minister yells at the people who pay his or her wage. Surprises me other do
Finally, these preachers won’t allow themselves to be questioned.
Interesting op, find it relevant, wonder if it’s across other aspects of life

I’d love to see an example of the President’s “hate tactics” you just made up.

Lol.
think most pastors are angry because they keep telling their congregation to love each other and live holy lives and they continually fail at every turn lol
Another example of liberal hypocrisy is the left’s refusal to denounce Louis Farrakhan, Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton for their blatantly antisemitic statements. Yet they accuse Trump of antisemitism despite his being previously married to a Jew and having a Jewish daughter, granddaughter and son-in-law; not to mention his denunciations of antisemitism and support for Israel. Facts and logic just don’t work when arguing with the left.

Spot on Mr. Fox
This is terrorism, and is limited to the left. "Both sides do it" is quite wrong indeed, DEMS do it. Their nut bag red commie antifa and Venezuela supporting "code pink" nut job neck twitchers are a microcosom of a larger defect on the left. Where crazies like antifa can invade a peaceful protest and be lauded as heros by their fellow zealots simply because they disagree with some of the people attending. Where dictators are worthy of cheers and Americans fighting for Americans are considered the bad guy. THAT is today's radical left.
When you are called a Nazi for daring to acknowledge the greatness of your own nation and scrawny bird people like Omar and bloated Tlaib can spew their anti-Semitic hatred while being excused by all Dems in congress
they are insincere hoaxers who hate this country, hate our freedom and despise our people.
That feeling is mutual. I freely admit, that feeling is now mutual. Thy have turned a simple difference of policies into a crusade to ensure the future of our country as a Republic vs. yet another failed third world dump full of garbage and hate. Never
Go away 0crats

I look forward to your inevitable mental gymnastics and psychological defense mechanisms.
Fair enough. I don’t equate every right-wing or racist nutjob with Trump, so you’re probably right at least some of the time, perhaps even most of the time. However, and please correct me if I’m wrong, I’m not aware of any dem prez candidate condemning antifa, the abuse of Trump supporters in general — including incidents at Trump rallies — or the verbal and physical attacks on conservative students. As far as I know, Trump has condemned every mass shooting motivated by racism and antisemitism and has said he wants nothing to do with racist groups. Note: IIRC, the guy who shot Scalise was a self-avowed Bernie supporter.

Also, let me again reiterate my point that just because someone attacks a Trump supporter that does not automatically mean they are a liberal or a democrat. It just means they don't like Trump. You can't just make an assumption of their political affliction and this entire premise of the "left" being more violent is based on this logical fallacy. Show me where a Hilary or Bernie supporter committed these acts (and I'm not saying that hasn't happened btw) and you might start to have a point but until then its a bull# argument.
