...a specious connection to "the right" in any case, which I'm not going to take the time to address here). An anti-Semite shooting up a synogogue is not political violence, for example. It's just a whack-job acting out his hate for a religion and/or race. Ditto for an insane, anti-Christian, left-wing transwhatever shooting up a Christian school.

POLITICAL violence, which is what I'm referring to, would include mass, ongoing, violent, destructive (and, of course, typically unpunished) assaults, attacks, occupations, threats, etc., carried out to affect political policy.

Countless examples on the left include what we saw during your side's Summer of Love in 2020 (and for a couple of hours on 1/6/21) with mass, violent attacks on federal buildings, police stations and the White House. It would also include blockading bridges and highways as a way to protest the POLITICAL policy around Israel, as your leftist brothers-in-arms are doing all over the country right now. It would include countless assaults on Trump rally-goers over the years, assaults on Republican politicians trying to have a meal in a restaurant, and assassination attempts against Brett Kavanaugh, the Republican softball contingent and Rand Paul. It would include (naturally unpunished) leftist occupations in statehouses, like we've seen in Tennessee and California and, of course, the US Capitol over the years. It would include an actual bombing of the Senate (whose perpetrators were later pardoned by Clinton, naturally).

Get real -- I know the facts and have nothing to apologize for.
