The Left is always violent when they don't get their own way.

Research suggests the left is less likely to resort to violence, and that in the USA there is “no difference between the level of violence perpetrated by right-wing and Islamist extremists”.

Examples abound.

Yup, the left also occupied the capitol, smeared feces on the walls and tried to block Trump's inauguration earlier this year

That’s just terrorism. Even just vandalizing a Tesla car for political reasons is terrorism. And it continues a trend we saw with the normalization of violent rioting back in 2020.

Um, "normalization of violent rioting?" Violent rioting in America has occurred ever since this country was founded. In fact, it was founded by a very violent riot. Not to condone violence, but it seems to be a regular part of the American experience, and either deplored or cheered on depending on which side you're on.

something something "the tree of liberty must from time to time be refreshed with the blood of tyrants and patriots..."

When I hear someone pegging the "normalization" or beginning of something to an arbitrary year, I just read that as "This is about the year when I started to become aware of the world around me, but not its history."

“He who saves his Country does not violate any Law.”

If this president and administration does not believe in the rule of law, why would anyone else? They announced the rules of engagement, clearly and publicly.
