Where are these liberals? I'm only seeing celebrations or "I don't condone but in this case I don't care either" for the fascist getting shot.

Or were you hearing them condemn gun violence for the school shooting that also occurred today?

I've seen a lot of posts condemning political violence. Newsom, Bernie, Harris, Waltz, AOC.

I haven't seen any of them praising the assassination of Palestinians though.

Agreed, at best this is confirmation bias at play

Then there must be some mismatch between what actual liberal leaders are saying, and their followers.

Pretty sure we saw that with Luigi too
