(note that I did not state that liberalism causes mental illness. I believe that people who are mentally ill flock to liberalism, hence the correlation versus causation.)
Here are two of the key graphs:

How many samples are enough? The Glowbull Warming Hockey Stick graph was based on a ring count of one tree. A classic example of false statistics. How many times has a Leftist avoided the SS to the point where he could get within range and crank off a round? These listed are the noted active examples of violent hostile action, not intent, carried though to a conclusion. This required an actual attack to make the list. How many did I miss? (I don't recall any Republicans carrying Obama's bloody head on national TV... Apparently, only Leftist hatred is strong enough.)
How many Republican shots were fired at Obama? For that matter, who did I not include?
I wait, hoping to pee on Clinton's grave. Does that make me a part of the un-calculated sample?
What else am I going to find?
Yeah. but that mustache is fake as hell. Even if could grow one, that's not one.
Thought he could sneak that one by me, eh? FAIL. Lousy disguise. He'll never get away unnoticed wearing that thing. Makes people suspicious. Maybe a burka instead? Walk right past everybody, nobody knows (because who knows what's under a walking blanket)
To be fully brilliant he'll need to be adding some more sneaky to make it work all better.
Hinckley, of course. Also the nutter that shot up the White House while X-42 was in office. And the nutjob that shot George Wallace was gunning for Nixon as well.
I'm not doing your homework for you, but you could do worse than to start HERE.
Yes, except that Hinkley is indeed mentally insane.
I am willing to listen, but can you produce three examples of non-leftists who have attempted or succeeded in assassinating American Presidents?
Even with three, I agree with the other poster that it is at trend.
And, as an aside, I do believe Liberalism is a mental illness and there are plenty of reasons, not just a tool to smear as the liberals did with Whittaker Chambers, and nearly every conservative they disagreed with, all of which are indeed verifiable.
Nope, that’s me...
Richard Lawrence. Charles J. Guiteau. John Hinckley. Samuel Byck. John Schrank. Giuseppe Zangara.
That's six.
When looking at presidential assassins and people who credibly attempted to assassinate presidents, I find leftists and lunatics. I don NOT find capitalists or constitutionalists.

Here are two of the key graphs:
I would generally agree with your summary at the bottom of your post...:)
You asserted that liberalism is a mental illness. Your research, published in a rather dodgy journal, asserts a correlation between liberalism and certain mental illnesses. "Liberalism is a mental illness" is not the same thing as "Liberalism is weakly correlated with mental illness".
Hence the disclaimer in my post, if you read it.
However, I stand by my claim on empirical evidence alone.
In this country, and around the world, the massive majority of deaths and violence since the beginning of the 20th century has been caused and perpetrated by leftists. This is undeniable.
Chinese Communists, Soviet Communists, and Nazis were all leftists, and between them, were responsible for between 100 and 200 million murders of their own citizens, discounting the casualties inflicted by the wars they provably and historically were responsible for starting.
The fact that political violence is initiated and perpetrated by the Left is, on the very face of it, indisputable.
Your own tagline you display buttresses my point, otherwise...why would you display it?
What do we call people who have lost touch with reality?
And by the way, in that peer reviewed article (as if that term means anything anymore) that is NOT a ‘weak” correlation. It is a VERY strong and undeniable one.
If you read those bar graphs correctly, in nearly EVERY single category, for people being treated for depression or bipolar bipolar depression, the liberals (when comparing category to category) are nearly TWICE as likely to report a liberal category than a conservative one.
If you read the graphs correctly.
That said, this was published in 2012. Can you imagine what it would look like if they re-did this study today while Trump is President rather than their God Obama?
“They mad as hell.” Is it reasonable to assume that the writer of those words is an ignorant, uneducated stupid jackass who might qualify as one of obamma’s boys?
The only place where there is not at least a doubling is when comparing the middle female or middle male components (classified as “C” or “L”, not “VC” or “VL”.
Conservative Females have less mental illness than liberal females, but it isn’t half or less. In that same vein, Conservative Males have less mental illness than liberal males, but it isn’t half or less. I am going to hazard a guess that is because one is getting closer to the center of the bell curve (if it follows that distribution)
I think that goes along with “protesting” in general. Yes, we occasionally have “right wing” protests. I have even participated in a few. For the most part, though, “right wing” people are too busy working to be out protesting, and too busy working to be obsessing over killing. Leftists and looneys seem to have more time on their hands, and a lot more anger ... and it leads to them protesting, and rioting, and (sometimes) assassinating.
And, as an aside, I do believe Liberalism is a mental illness
You then provide a research paper showing a correlation between liberalism and mental illness. That's very interesting, but it doesn't support your claim that liberalism itself is a mental illness. Again, I very strongly caution against "diagnosing" political disagreements.
I have been to many protests and counter-protests. I can agree with that.
SS is part of DHS since Bush years.
Sounds to me like a whole busload of like-minded assassins need to be arrested and do a quarter-century behind prison bars, based on the twitter responses.
