    One study published by the libertarian Cato Institute found that since 2020, right-wingers have accounted for over half of terror-related deaths in the United States, with left-wingers at 22 percent. Another study from the Public Religion Research Institute found that those who were more opposed to Trump were more likely to oppose political violence as well.

    You know that when they so freely talk qbout left vs. right, it’s not really a thing, or it’s not really important. What they never even dare to mention is ‘class war’ and that’s what they are really afraid of.

    Militant, nationalistic, white supremacist violent extremism has increased in the United States. In fact, the number of far-right attacks continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism. Since 1990, far-right extremists have committed far more ideologically motivated homicides than far-left or radical Islamist extremists, including 227 events that took more than 520 lives.[1] In this same period, far-left extremists committed 42 ideologically motivated attacks that took 78 lives.[2]

    It’s crazy how so many of our nations leaders can just go up there and tell bold face blatant lies and there’s absolutely no consequences.
    Like, they don’t even pretend to care about being honest. They’ve long since realized that there’s no repercussions for lying (not any real ones at least). So now, they just spew them endlessly, we live in a post-truth world.
    Facts don’t matter anymore, integrity is liability.

    We have to look at the statistical significance of the mean, median, mode and couch fucking in order to get closer to the truth.

    It’s a statistical fact that JD Vance is a lying piece of shit.

    Deaths from far right terrorism outnumbers far left 6:1, from the government’s own reports over the last 30 years. But that was before the Ministry of Propaganda decided to take it down right after the death of Mr. Acceptable Losses.

    “Statistical fact” - as someone forced to teach statistics, whenever a student writes this phrase they lose marks. Any statistical statement is an implication of evidence, not a statement of fact.

      Statistics adds confidence intervals to data. You never get to 100% confidence = fact.

    It’s a statistical fact that 99% of what Couchfucker the First says is a lie. The 1% is reserved exclusively for “Wrong clock right once every full turn” type stuff.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
