Any real analysis of actual rates of violence motivated by politics can see that, while left wing violence is apparently rising, that rise is from “extremely low/non-existent” levels to “barely a blip on the radar” levels when compared to right wing violence. Anyone making claims to the contrary is simply not being honest. The overwhelming majority of violence motivated by politics comes from the right, from neo-Nazi groups, from Oath Keepers, Proud Man-children, Threepers, and so on. Note that these are groups that are actually organized, have a command structure, funding, and so on. Compare this to ‘antifa’–which is short for anti-fascist, and if you aren’t anti-fascist, that makes you what?, pro-fascist?–which is barely organized (despite hysterical claims from Trump and his flunkies), has zero funding aside from the people bring with them, is non-hierarchical, has no meetings, and so on.
