    The issue when it comes to the self-defense part stems from when the operations cease to go by set criteria.

    None of the arguments that defend the killing of Brian Thompson are going to, for example, help any of the people who passed around the idea of Joe Rogan dying, unless the motivation in question is to just eliminate people on the right.

    Also, how is it clickbait?

      There was almost no article at all beyond the sensational headline.

      Where are they getting their information?

      60 percent of … younger… liberals?

      So how many on the left identify as liberals? How many are classified as “younger”

      Once you remove all the extra qualifiers its number drops far far below 60 percent. So less democrats believe violence is okay than republicans.

      Edit: Looked it up. I’m right.

      28 percent for the dems, 31 percent for the republicans. Surprise surprise republicans remain the more violent party.
