Political violence on the rise: Left wing attacks outnumber those from the right for first time in decades

If that's the most they can accomplish then they are not much of a threat

Many of those groups and their members have carried out murders, bombings, and other terror plots over the years. They
have been responsible for the majority of domestic terrorism fatalities in the US over the past twenty years and are indeed a threat.

Those things are much worse than January 6th, yet you keep using it as an example

Full Time Employment" - Jan 6th was a Wednesday. Why weren't those people at work?

They took time off. Which is allowed.

MarcusGregor said:

Obeys laws" - elected a literal convicted felon to be president. That president violates laws everyday of his term. Dozens convicted of seditious conspiracy on Jan 6 only to be pardoned by the convicted felon president. Several went on to commit further crimes.

Political prosecution doesn't count. Its not over yet. Yes i would agree that anyone who was violent on Jan 6 should not have been pardoned. And there are a lot of people on the right who feel the same way.
The president is not violating laws every day. That's a leftist talking point not based on reality.

Literacy" - seeks to ban books from libraries
"Loves Family and Country" - as long as it conforms to their narrow view of what those things mean.

Literacy is about being able to read, which far too few kids can do when they graduate. Communities have the RIGHT to determine what their kids have access to in libraries. Allowing kids to read perverted or sexually explicit materials has never been a value in America until the left decided to make it one.

At has been proven over and over again that kids do best with intact two parent households with a mother and father. And living your country has never been about trying to turn it into another country or turning over entire communities to Islamic control. You know we founded this country to NOT BE like Europe or Arabic countries. It was founded to be unique from the rest if the world.

Common Sense" - HA! See previous points.

Commonsense has nothing to do with leftist ideology. We have a Republic, and we are starting to lose it. It must be acknowledged that Americans have become greedy and selfish. Greed comes in two forms. One, the wealthy who wish to continually gain more wealth and consider themselves the betters. People who are wealthy are not necessarily greedy and most have earned it. But it cannot be argued that greed can take its hold upon someone who is never satisfied with what they have and will do whatever it takes to gain more.

The second form of greed and selfishness comes from those who demand others give their property to them. They do not earn. They do not seek to better themselves. They make foolish decisions. Some are lazy. And because of these things they seek to take from others which is greed. You have I don't and I want what you have.

It needs to be stated that we have a right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. There is no guarantee of equal results. People work hard for their money and they should have a right to share it with whomever they want to.

People should be able to hoard their money if they wish. But we all also have a right to recognize that it would be greedy to do so when you could also do good for others that really need it.

People should not have a right to live however they want AND at the same time demand that others provide for them despite their decisions and lack of ambition.

We as a society should take care of those who truly need it. Those who are truly incapable of working.

We should have less taxes and more charity.

January 6th was a violent attack on our Capitol that resulted in 140 law enforcement officers being injured and millions in damage iwith hundreds of the participants being affiliated with far-right groups. Of course that event will be used as an example of violent right-wing extremism.

It seems like January 6th is all y’all have. It’s been milked so much there’s nothing left

It’s all we need and it’s not a contest. When your side reelected a man who very publicly wiped his rear with the constitution and our entire electoral process, we don’t need anything else to point to.

Thanks for the QED

If that's your best example of right wing extremism then it's not much of a problem

It is just meant as a counter to your meme that minimizes right wing extremism to normal everyday people doing nothing wrong. The idea is absurd on its face. Now, if you had put in a meme of left wing people over-blowing every right wing action into an existential threat I think you would of been spot on.
