At least the Right can still fire a gun from their mobility scooters.

Presumably these are gas-powered mobility scooters? It's got to be hard to keep up your MAGA-cred on a battery-powered one.

And likely have stayed away.

Fortunately I am not Liberal, though at times like this I wish I still had My six Pound Civil War Cannon.
I am surrounded Not By MAGA but By Ultra MAGA, I guess they have the Super power of Complete Imbecility or something like that.

I think the stereotype you describe might be less proportionate among liberals than you think, depending on how you box them. Not going to question whether it's accurate about your friend circle. Just overall. As well, if the hard right turns violent en masse, lots of people might be on the other side besides those that consider themselves liberal.

Always wondered what attaching a hot saw to a Gatling Gun would do?

Yeah, you also have the ex-military, demolitions-trained, gun owning liberals out there

[The_Animus]

So the unredacted search warrant was leaked to breitbart, presumably by Trump, and breitbart published names of fbi agents involved with the raid. It's stochastic terrorism.

And even if no threats of violence are carried out against them this time, the harassment and threats can lead to more decent and rational people leaving important positions throughout our government and being replaced by right wing lunatics.

It’s your dogma, not the dogma of any of the organised “liberal” political and campaigning groups.

I don;t buy there is some conspiracy by the evil media to hide Right wing terrorism.

No conspiracy necessary, just a collective bias that's highly charitable to good ol' white folk who are "fighting for what they believe in" by carrying out terrorist acts.

And there's plenty of denial, deflection about the January 6th attack. And even many small scale plots in the last 20 years have been unmentioned or dismissed as lone wolf activities. I'm saying if these were perpetrated by Islamists, "antifa" or some black-identity group, we already know the reaction.

A jury on Tuesday convicted two men of conspiring to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in 2020, in a plot prosecutors described as a rallying cry for a U.S. civil war by anti-government extremists.

The jury also found Adam Fox and Barry Croft Jr. guilty of conspiring to obtain a weapon of mass destruction, namely a bomb to blow up a bridge and stymie police if the kidnapping could be pulled off at Whitmer’s vacation home.

Croft, 46, a trucker from Bear, Delaware, was also convicted of another explosives charge.

Another pair of MAGA morons duped by the lies of The Fat Orange Turd and his sycophantic followers.

I don't think this gets talked about enough in the media. Good honest election officials, both Democratic and Republican, are resigning all over the country due to harassment and threats from all the MAGA morons.

I wouldn't want to deal with the bs either but at the same time resigning is exactly what they want. Now they can take the empty spot and rig future elections.

Uh, seems to me a lot of them were lone wolf or three or four people plots.
Yes, they had similiar ideology behind them, but that is different then some vast planned consipiracy.
And I still maintain Right wing extremism has gotten pleny of mainstream media attention. Problem you have is it does not push a vast conspiracy theory.
It would be so much easier if I could buy into a "Left GOOD, Right BAD" ideology, but it's much more complex then that.

I can easily see Christian fanatics becoming just as murderous as their Islamic counterparts.
I get very annoyned at the way some on the left are apologists for Islamic extremists ...but for the Right Wingers to start pointing fingers when they scream bout how we have to "undersantd" the Jan 6th radicals is, well, pretty hypocritical.

You're losing track of the discussion. You brought up "it's not a conspiracy" when I never claimed such. I'm saying people are far more charitable to what they're familiar with.

And I don't think anything I've said here warrants that last sentence. *facepalm*

That's right, Warp...handwave away far-right attacks because they haven't killed as many as the Islamist extremists on 9/11 did twenty-one years ago.

Quote:

The FBI has reported that far right-extremists pose the greatest threat to the US now, not Islamist extremists.

Since the 9/11 attack, far-right extremists killed more people in the US than did American-based Islamist fundamentalists

Quote:

Earlier this year an intelligence report warned that racially-motivated extremists posed the most lethal domestic terrorism threat. It said the menace was now more serious than potential attacks from overseas, and the White House published a strategy for countering the problem.

The FBI director, Christopher Wray, told Congress that the 6 January insurrection wasn’t an isolated event and “the problem of domestic terrorism has been metastasizing across the country for a number of years”.

Wray added that white supremacists comprise “the biggest chunk of our domestic terrorism portfolio overall” and “have been responsible for the most lethal attacks over the last decade”

I am trying to maintain some perspective on the matter...instead of characterizing right-wing folks as deadly terrorists. That would be ridiculous.

Like I say, we can just say that most are peace-loving, and leave it at that. I am sure that is what will be said by libs if some right-wing terrorists fly planes into buildings...right?

No, you aren't "trying to maintain some perspective on the matter." No one was "characterizing right-wing folks as deadly terrorists". Reporting on actual convictions like the MI idiots who plotted to kidnap and kill Whitmer and actual acts of right-wing terrorism or violence is not painting ALL right-wingers as 'deadly terrorists'.

What you're doing is handwaving away facts that you don't like and trying to 'trigger the libs'.

There is a clear emphasis on the "evil" of the right-wing in this thread (and the forum, in general). I believe they call this, "conservaphobia".

Nobody is saying that threats and such should not be investigated. However, the presentation reeks of a political motivation, both here and in the media.

Oh, that's exactly what you implied when you said, "Wake me up when they start flying jumbo jets into skyscrapers...then they will have caught up with the hot ticket from two decades ago.. . ."

Denial: A defense mechanism in which an individual refuses to recognize or acknowledge objective facts or experiences. It’s an unconscious process that serves to protect the person from discomfort or anxiety.

So you just gave us more examples of right wing terrorism in an effort to downplay right wing terrorism. Cool

Both the Taliban and the Christian Alt Right are Religious Zelots and Conspiracy theorists, the Funny thing is they want to go back too 1776, and that would mean Trashing the Constitution and Second Amendment.
So I say OK, that would allow the government too take the Guns away from Right Wing Terrorists.
Because of these idiots, I am now ordering a Rock 5.7

Does it have to be a plane, or does blowing up a building count? Maybe something like in Oklahoma City?

Certainly has nothing to do with how loudly this is being used to characterize conservatives as a general threat in the US.

The event you reference is small potatoes compared to the one I cited. Still, I don't see libs clamoring to defend conservatives as "mostly peace-loving" (like they have done for other "victimized" groups). I wonder why that is?

Because it is just politics, that's why.

[JoeMorgue]

"Democrats won't let me hate Muslims so therefore they are the real terrorists" is a very bold stance that I can't wait for you to refuse to debate.

That's not the stance...but you know that. Amusing, though.

[JoeMorgue]

This is why conservatives have to either outright lie ("ANTIFA HAS BURNED DOWN THE ENTIRE CITY OF PORTLAND!") or make egregious comparison to maintain their whataboutism.
