That "deep" research was done before 2022. I think the data is actually from before 2018? which would only be half of Trump's first term.

Regardless of if it's 2022 or 2018 it misses two Trump assassination attempts and Charlie kirks assassination. It left out attacks on Ice and national guard.

It also misses numerous Islamic and trans terrorist attacks that have occured recently.

Violence exploded under the lefts "threat to democracy" and "Nazi" hysteria, not Trump's.

It’s not intended as a report on any specific phenomenon. It’s an analysis of the mindsets of the right and left and how that correlates to their propensity to violence.

I would expect the numbers on both sides to swell when they aren’t in power. You tend not to protest against your own side.

 

[Teddy Eagle]

Same thing. You are accusing the author of expressing personal opinions rather than reporting scientifically determined statistics.

In other words accusing a scientific journal of bias.

Just because you dismiss every source quoted as biased doesn't mean others do the same.

Your article is from 2022 and the data looks like it's from 2018. It ignores 7 years of data including 2 assassination attempts on Trump, ice and national guard, Assassination of Charlie Kirk and trans shootings. These are all the results of left wing democratic dangerous rhetoric. 👍

That 2022 "mindset" analysis ignores how violence spikes when the left is in power and stoking hysteria. left wing attacks now outnumber right wing for the first time in 30+ years.

It confirms the dataset of incidents (1994 to July 4, 2025) and the key finding that in 2025 it marks the first time in over 30 years that left wing terrorist attacks outnumber right wing ones.

No one in America, Trump's base included, wanted a war with Venezuela.

He literally came in 2016 criticising American war-like foreign policy.

But Trump is a fierce protectionist. Look at the Mexico (unfinished) border wall

Venezuela is on the doorstep-ish.

Your spouting of complete nonsense is constant here, especially on things that concern the Trump administration. Your views are as deluded as any held by the MAGA mob.

This isn’t “my” data. It’s scientific data produced by a highly respected source. It’s not intended to, and doesn’t, reflect any particular period. There will always be ebbs and flows, peaks and troughs, depending on outside events. That’s natural and not restricted to this analysis.

We are experiencing a peak in stupidity from a President. The highest ever seen. It’s unsurprising there is a matching reaction. The cause not being left wing rhetoric but the stupidity that creates it.

The analysis isn’t concerned with this. It examines the reasons why, historically, those on the right are more prone to violence than those on the left.

Of course you seek to dismiss it. You are on the right. Your reaction to the analysis fits well with what it has found.

More objective observers will read and learn the lessons it contains.

I don’t. I judge on merit. Those with a sound scientific basis aren’t dismissed. I try to find them. Some though don’t.

Are you now accepting, and not dismissing, the report I referenced? Are you acknowledging that it’s analysis is valuable?

I don't know enough about the subject to accept or dismiss it but will maintain that those on the left think they are endowed with a sense of moral superiority.

It does seem that he is goading Venezuela into it.

It's nothing new it all dates back to the Monroe doctrine which has been the cornerstone of American foreign policy since 1823 (and before that, he just encapsulated it).

Calling facts “MAGA delusions” while you clutch at years old charts is peak left wing cope.

The CSIS data which is updated through to July 2025 explicitly confirms my point that left wing attacks outnumber right-wing ones for the first time in 30+ years, fueled by anti Trump hysteria.

Recent spikes include the Kirk assassination, ICE attacks, and trans linked shootings. 👍

We won't have to look to far.

Have you ever considered the possibility that those on the left are endowed with a greater sense of moral responsibility than those on the right? It being what leads them to being left thinking.

You are simply confirming my point!

There are fluctuations in any data set subject to outside influences.

That, despite your efforts to divert the subject onto a variation, is not the point of the analysis. The point is why, measured over time, right wing political violence outweighs left wing? It attempts to analyse the characteristics of right and left thinkers and why this discrepancy exists.

You just want to concentrate on the recent past without acknowledging why a spike in reaction to an extreme regime was an inevitability.

The CSIS data isn't a "fluctuation" it's a 30-year record broken by left-wing violence including the Kirk killing,
ICE and national guard shootings. And shootings carried out by the trans.

Your "analysis" ignores that inconvenient trend. It's all fueled by the lefts TDS which you are familiar with.

No. I have considered that they want to close down any discussion on the grounds that they consider themselves "better" people though.
You always claim to be a centrist but you never have anything critical to say about anyone perceived to be on the left.
Actually it's nothing to do with anything left wing politically - it's the moral grandstanding which is objectionable.

What level of moral responsibility do One Nation Tories have?

How do you know that the alleged shooter of Kirk is left wing? He, and his family, are apparently Trump supporters, according to some who know them, although it is also said he isn’t really political at all. He is a gamer and some of the inscriptions on the bullets seem to echo game play.

Because Kirk was undoubtedly right wing you are assuming the only type that would shoot him must be from the left. I think it’s much more likely he was just mixed up in some way.

That there is increasing push back against the Trump regime is true, so it would not be surprising that some of that becomes violent. However to assume it must be all from the left is ridiculous. His base is becoming unhappy too. Fed up with rising prices, tax breaks to the rich and broken promises. That said it’s almost inevitable that such extreme a regime as the current one is will generate an extreme reaction. I would be surprised if it wasn’t just a 30 year record but an all time one. After all the regime is the all time worst!

The only reason you don’t read criticism of the left here is because this is a place dominated by right wing opinion. The tiny number of those whose views are even slightly to the left are posting responses to right wing opinions. I am not likely to defend those opinions.

Read my contributions to any seriously left leaning web forum and you would not think like that.

What you perceive as moral grandstanding I suspect are just expressions of moral positions that are undeniable, so difficult for those on the right to handle, other than to try to ridicule them.

Without knowing what these forums are or your username that's a bit tricky.
The last sentence isn't redolent of centrism.
