None of the last 31 political attacks was by anyone from 'the Left'. Not one. We can count them. - AzExpress (azexpress.net)

So how many of the 24 offenders are affiliated with the Democratic Party or any other mainstream reformist, progressive or leftist organisation? The answer is none. The only perpetrator arguably from the Left is Black nationalist Quintez Brown.

Trump not alone in falsely blaming others for his own evil.

Immediately after Kirk’s killing, Elon Musk tweeted, ‘The Left is the party of murder’.

Everything is projection with conservatives. Even when their followers are holding the smoking gun they accuse the left of the murder.

Because they're looking in the mirror, where left and right are reversed.

We've been in a post-truth society since Trump's first term. They don't care.

I'm curious if anyone has any credible sources about recent political violence from the left. I'm skeptical of that all of the last 31 political attacks were from the right.

Because we are actually busy feeding the hungry, sheltering the homeless, helping the needy.

If you want to form a militia and uproot fascists, look in the mirror first.
