Lets throw some facts into the basket, first since The charge of hate crimes was implemented, 2 out of every 3 hate crimes have been perpetrated by the right. So how has it progressed since their leader was voted into office. In 2018 there was 50 hate crime murders, none were done by the left, they were all done by the right. So tell us again about the threat of violence from the left. I predict now that we will get single actions done by the left, over riding, in their mind, these hate crime statistic facts. The violence is on the right and this violence is supported by their party. That's how they perceive this country, that's what they want for this country.
 

I can think of one very recent hate crime that was committed by a left-wing supremacist.
 
I have no idea where you got the absurd statistic that 2 out of 3 are committed by the right, but uhh, I think you need to account that many hate crimes turn out to be bogus and created like Jesse Smollett and blacks commit hate crimes regularly but of course your press doesnt report that. They have mastered ignoring any and all news that isnt flattering to the left.
 
Here's some of the possible ways that gun violence can be controlled as offered by democrats:

1. Require all gun owners to acquire a license through the federal government. Currently, 16 states have similar laws to varying degrees.

2. Universal background checks

3. Assault weapons ban

4. Require near-universal background checks to be run by people selling more than five guns in a year and revoke the licenses of gun manufacturers and dealers that break the law.

5. Prevent people on a terrorist watch list from buying guns.

6. Ban high-capacity magazines

7. Gun buy-back program to reduce the number of guns owned by civilians, and provide a process whereby civilians can sell their privately owned firearms to the government without risk of prosecution.

Here's some of the possible ways that gun violence can be controlled as offered by republicans:

1. Arm as many people as possible over the age of 18 with guns.

what exactly is a 'left-wing supremacist'. I never heard that before.
 

Unconstitutional

ANTIFA....

Nuff said.
 

I understand your argument and sentiment, but it is dishonest to suggest that violence is exclusively a leaning right problem.

Antifa, the New Black Panther Party, and there are others who subscribe to violence and intimidation.

It is hypocritical, but if the right is predicting the left will react violently to a Trump second term that may be accurate. That does not mean that right leaning extremism will all of a sudden quit being violent, just means they will not be alone in being violent.

This is the price of us vs. them, and quit pretending the most extreme of the left is all of a sudden somehow better than the most extreme of the right. Even if statistically we have plenty of evidence that the overwhelming majority of these 'events' are perpetuated by the right we cannot lose sight of all our problems with violence and hatred in this nation in a vain effort to ignore those on the left that wish for plenty of harm and in the most extreme someone losing their lives.

Categorizing these things into 'hate crime' only conversations has its own set of consequences anyway, ideological hate groups are not the only source to convince someone to take someone else's life.

It really is a hollow victory, and there are plenty in this nation that want "violence" towards some ends.

Time for some new Amendments to the US Constitution then. But you're wrong, they are not unconstitutional, not at all.

Supporters of fascism need a scapegoat, and Antifa does the trick. Doesn't matter that they are anarchists, not liberals. Once a scapegoat, always a scapegoat.

Stalin was Left Wing until he started killing people. Then the lefties started suddenly calling him Right Wing. A very cheap, cheesy tactic.
 

Democrats: Disarm as many law abiding citizens as possible. Make it as difficult as possible for police to enforce the law.
Republicans: Arm as many law abiding citizens that CHOOSE to protect themselves. Enforce laws that keep violent offenders in prison as long as possible.

No they are not.

Not sure how something can be constitutionally protected when it wasn’t even invented when the amendment was ratified.

And Nazism was leftwing socialism. In fact, that is what Nazi stands for: Socialism. The Democratic Party now is where the Nazi Party was in the early 1930s.

So you agree that the MSM and Internet are NOT protected under the "press" because they don't use printing presses, right? They weren't invented yet.
