We’ve always had political violence in this country. None of this is surprising.

I was reading about this earlier, something like 24% of Democrats and 3% of Republicans support violence against people they see as political enemies - I think it was PEW Research but can double check if someone needs.
More anecdotally, the last violent attack against the left was the Melissa Hortman and her husband that were attacked by a Tim Waltz appointee, and I didn't see anyone on the right celebrating it either.

And yet... Both are equally stupid. Using degrees of shitness to declare your wide the winner just means everyone lost.

Nothing in this article the declares one side "the winner" - it seems to be aimed at the government's cynical attempt to vilify "the left".

Quantified data came be used to decide what to prioritize, can't it? Why spend time busting people for jaywalking if speeding causes more deaths and property damage?
