The Myth of predominantly Right-Wing Extremism: How the Left Masks Its Own Violence and Skews the Numbers
SUBSTACK ^ | Damian Duncan

Posted on 09/17/2025 2:55:17 PM PDT by doug from upland

WASHINGTON (Politicrux) — When Democrat Representative Seth Moulton on CNN claimed 76% 0f all political violence came from the right and only 4% came from the left collective conservative audiences all over America fell off their chairs. However, his comment did prove one age old expression that there are “lies, lies, damn lies and statistics” and it confirmed, whoever writes and records history has outsized power to shape the political narrative. Nowhere is that power more evident than in how political violence is portrayed in America.

They have gotten away with the lies long enough. Christopher Wray claiming that the biggest problem in the country relative to violence was far right white nationalists. Total lie. Wray was worthless.

Wray was a traitor in service to the deep state.

‘Right Wingers’ are usually too busy making a living to engage in the crap that so many leftists do.

No mention of the cold blooded ambush murder of Aaron Danielson.

Been listening to these lies for 20 years. Time for us to strike back and not take it anymore.

They called the guy who shot the two politicians in MN a Right Winger even though he worked for Walz and was a known Democrat hack.

FBI Christopher Wray said for eight years there is no such thing as Antifa.

That helped a lot.

Antifa recommends weapons, tactics, and training to their soldiers.

Or just read one of the latest releases from the Babylon Bee.
It’s neither satire nor funny.
Lists the violence of the left in recent months and years.

This isn’t true, but the left gets to decide what is true, so...

To claim that both sides are guilty of violence is technically correct, but it’s like saying the American River—here in Sacramento where I live—and the Amazon River are both rivers, which is also technically true.

There’s a huge difference, though.

The American River is relatively small compared to the Amazon, which is massive, wide, and carries an enormous flow. They’re not equal, not even close.

Don’t let them get away with that comparison.

The article is solid, but I’d love to see charts, stats, and rock-solid facts we can share to counter the misleading stats posted by the left.

Here’s how it works

There are around 22,000 murders each year in the US.

ADL went through and found one or two dozen that could be attributed to “right wing extremism”, and declined to label more than a few incidents as “left wing”. And that’s how they get their percentages.

“ Our report on extremist murders in 2023 initially identified 17 extremist-related killings for that year, while our report for 2022 identified 25 murders. Our most recent statistics now stand at 20 extremist-related murders for 2023 and 28 for 2022.”

Klobuchar lied about this, I think today. The same lie that almost all the violence is from the right.

Ideology is far to complex to frame as a linear construct so 90% of the time anybody starts an argmuent categorizing anyone as “right wing” or “left wing,” they’re lying from the git-go.

The guy who shot Congresswomen Gifford, and killed Republican judge Roll in Tucson, AZ, was actually very sick paranoid schizophrenics of leftist persuasion.
His reason was that he did not like her usage of grammar or something like that.
They had to forcibly fill him with tons of medications, before he could even stand trial.
Yet, they are still blaming this on right wing.
I just heard it, Charlie Kirk, yes, but see the Minnesota guys and Gifford.
