Experts on extremism are increasingly shifting their focus from right-wing extremism to what they see as a rise of violence on the left, according to a new report.

"The past few months have seen enough of a rise in politically motivated violence from the far left that monitors of right-wing extremism have begun shifting their focus, and sounding the alarm," a report on Vice.com said.

Liberal violence has seen an uptick since President Trump was elected.

The subject of left-wing violence reared its head last week after a Bernie Sanders supporter opened fire on congressional Republicans playing baseball last Wednesday, injuring five including House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.).

At UC Berkeley earlier this year, protesters started fires, attacked crowds of people, and smashed property.

Left-wing extremism is nothing new, the Vice.com report admitted, citing the Black Panthers and Weather Underground....

Liberal extremists were attacking Trump supporters before he was elected. They were being attacked at Trump rallies.

They’ve been relatively unconcerned about massive corruption by their guys for years. Violence? Well, I guess some DNC types may worry that people will finally understand the sort of people cultural Marxism creates and how it destroys and erodes.

Telling the truth about Democrats is never good for Democrats.

It doesn’t do much good for Republicans either (they are useless quislings, which is better than dangerous nutters, but it isn’t any sort of reccomendation).

Liberals had themselves convinced that Americans fully supported their progressive social agenda. Now they have seen that they were wrong and it occurs to them that they can not vote their way back into America’s good graces so, rather than change their ways, they think they can regain their lost power through thuggery.

I think it’s completely wrong to misuse the word liberal in this sense. These people are not liberal.

“Honestly, I want them to try it. truly.”

It’s not for lack of trying. Is there any doubt in conservative minds that had Hillary been elected, she would’ve appointed an anti-gun justice to SCOTUS, brought some case before them which would’ve banned many of our firearms, and then gave a deadline in which to turn them in by? They do not realize the sh**storm they narrowly avoided. We’re only guaranteed these next 4 years in which to regroup.

"Even Liberals Are Worried About Liberal Extremism"

It is like the Saudis worried about Wahhabis.

They are useful extremists until they get too crazy and turn on their masters.

On route to Hell, the Democrat Thug Party sped past the Libtard exit long ago. It is now passing through the town of Leftism, and on its way to Marxism.
