Politically motivated violence is more prevalent among left-wing individuals and aggressive rhetoric from the left may exacerbate this dangerous climate.
In Aug. 2012, a left-wing MSNBC afficionado named Floyd Lee Corkins armed himself with a handgun and extra magazines. He drove to the Washington, D.C., headquarters of the socially conservative Family Research Council, planning to shoot it up. Corkins, who later cited the Southern Poverty Law Center for the proposition that the FRC is an “anti-gay” organization, was also carrying 15 Chick-fil-A sandwiches, which he hoped to stuff in his dead victims’ mouths. Corkins, who served as a volunteer at a local LGBT community center, was stopped by an unarmed security guard.
In June 2017, a left-wing MSNBC afficionado named James Hodgkinson armed himself with a rifle and handgun. He drove to Alexandria, Virginia, in hopes of assassinating the Republican team practicing for the annual Congressional Baseball Game. He severely wounded then-House Majority Whip Steve Scalise, who thankfully survived after receiving multiple blood transfusions and surgeries. Five others were also injured. Hodgkinson was a 2016 Bernie Sanders presidential campaign volunteer who, in a Facebook post three weeks before the shooting, wrote: “Trump is a Traitor. Trump Has Destroyed Our Democracy. It’s Time to Destroy Trump & Co.”
In June 2022, a young Californian named Nicholas Roske flew to the nation’s capital. Roske attained a handgun, zip ties, a tactical knife, a hammer, a screwdriver, a crowbar, duct tape and other burglary tools. At 1:38 a.m. local time, about a half-hour after a taxi dropped him off in front of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s Chevy Chase, Maryland, home, Roske had second thoughts and called 911. After his arrest, Roske told police he was angered by the leaked draft opinion in the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization abortion case.

The psychology of the left is the requirement for instant gratification. Nothing can be gradual or work within a difficult to manage framework. (The Founders created a difficult to manage framework precisely to stop sudden, possibly catastrophic change.)
The Left also has a simplistic, one might say Dunning/Krugger view of how things work. You need a billion dollars for your pet project? Simply scale the taxes to extort the additional money. A simple mathematical extrapolation is all that’s required. Yet not one such tax change has ever created what was intended. Most such changes result in less, rather than more revenue. Why? People adjust to the new rules and adapt to optimize their income. Although this is well known, it never stops the Left when they’re in charge from making the same mistake.
As to why the Lefties turn to assassination, it’s the same linear thinking. Kill this one guy and I get what I want. Except it never works, because people adapt.
The reason killing Trump won’t change anything is because of how tornadoes work. You have a huge low-pressure area and it rubs against a high-pressure area. Along the contact line tornadoes form. If you managed to, by magic or in Trump’s case, assignation, stop that tornado, another would break out along the line of contact. The same if you kill Hitler as a baby to stop World War II. The man doesn’t cause the massive disruption. The massive disruption is caused by the difference in the two political pressure zones.
Liberalism is a mental disease. The more insane your declarations the more attention you get.
The left is obsessive. Sex. Drugs and Alcohol. Politics. Abortion. They are literally engerized over their political agenda. They never give it a break. Without a cause they have no importance. Those that are completely absorbed with politics are usually those who are trying to destroy the current system - thus they have to destroy the people at some point who oppose them.
Because Democrats are nut jobs? Who else would espouse slaughtering thousands of babies every day?
I have come to the inevitable conclusion that the quality of our popular culture is at an all-time low.
More proof we need to reopen the mental hospitals closed in the 1970s. When closed down, mass murders took off like a rocket.
When can we split this country so we don’t have to live with these gas lighting morons?
Because the left / right paradigm not is 50/50.
If I had to guess I’d say it’s more like 50 right and 30 left..with 20 lost in space.
The left has to make up the difference by lying,cheating and stealing.
In fact, you have to be a nutjob to support the Democrat Party.
Your premise, your question, is wayoff. First, the left has always been the source of violence. They are all intrinsically bullies.
Secondly, not nutjobs. These are midstream haters but the only ones with the drive to accomplish something.
The answer to me is simple: Godless people are continually agitated because their life is built on shifting sands. They look everywhere BUT God for a stabilizing influence. As such, they have no absolutes so anything goes. Violence is acceptable because it furthers their search for answers (and power). Add to this the MSM’s constant drumbeat against Trump, conservatives, conservatism, Christianity, etc., and you can see why they hate us. Need more proof? Look no further than the Left’s 50+ years of dehumanizing unborn babies.
Lefties are all crazy, by default, and do not therefore believe laws or morals are objective, in any form. They believe every single “fact” we believe or follow is subjective to each of them, at every moment of the day.
PURE EVIL!!
Because the Dems and the media parrot hateful lies and it gets the mentally ill members of their party all worked up.
“Why Are the Nutjobs Trying to Kill Political Opponents All Left-Wingers?”
Who says they’re nut jobs? Perhaps they figure that the only way to achieve and hold political power is to kill off opponents, as their policies cannot stand clean election results. Makes perfect sense to me.
What percentage of the left is certifiably evil?
Because right wingers don’t believe in murder?
Yep.
They were born out of blood lust and greed.
People see these things happen repeatedly and every time they act like they are shocked. Even a goldfish would have learned what was going on by this point.
