Tally up all the incidents of violence and intentional destruction of property and the Democrats and the Far Left are doing far far far more of it than the Right. In large degree, the mail bomber who does not deserve to be named may be a result. Take a woman in an abusive relationship. Sometimes she snaps and kills her husband, feeling she has no choice. Because the Left refuses to crack down on the violence coming from their side, this is just going to escalate. You have mayors in cities like Berkeley and Portland where the mayor lets Antifa run wild unopposed quite often. People get hurt and pretty soon the folks on the Right fight back. If the Far Left didn't believe so fervently in violently suppressing the free speech of the Far Right, Heather Heyer would still be alive today.

Trump doesn't help matters one bit, but the Left needs to look very carefully at itself if they want to spike the proverbial football and raise the chorus of, "See we told you so! The Right is the violent ones, not us!" Mr. mail bomber didn't actually hurt anyone. Nothing of consequence actually happened. The same cannot be said for Leftist attackers just within the last 30 days.

Try this: Go get me a tally of all incidents of violent destructive politically motivated activities from the Right. Cases where they started the fight. They went out of their way to attack people who were just minding their own business. Intentionally destroying property. Saying "The real threat is the filthy unwashed masses on the Right!" is a pretty big claim. Can you back it up or is it just a "Go team Democrat!" emotional cheerleader thing? Here's a very incomplete list of what the Left has been doing.

Or you could try this. Go dig up an "I'm With Her" Hillary Clinton hat and T-shirt. Go to wherever you think is the most pro-Trump place in America. Then wear a "Make America Great Again" hat and T-shirt walking around the South Side of Chicago or in any other heavily Democrat area. I will bet any amount that you care to wager you that you get physically assaulted with the MAGA apparel many many times, but you won't be bothered for wearing pro-Hillary stuff.

And by the way, when did the Left become the arrogant rich elitists a-holes who look down all the "mere peasants"? Caring about the poor, unemployed and uneducated used to be their thing. When did that change?
You're seriously comparing the bomber to an abused wife?

I think you're buying the Kool-Aid as far as which side is the more involved in violence. Check the sites which keep track of hate crimes, and you'll find most emanate from right-wing extremism, not the left.

One would think, by now, the big heads in your left camp would have realized the only way you are going to make a comeback is by winning over us non-party folk with some actual solutions to actual issues. There's so many more of us in the middle than the left cares to acknowledge. Just so happens the issues are being better addressed by the right - not by much - but by enough to sway the vote.
I cannot possibly see how anything could see this as true. Tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations; gutting Obamacare includes getting rid of protections for preexisting conditions; lining his entire cabinet with the swamp including Tom Price, Scott Pruitt, Omarosa and so on and so forth.

Trump's goal is to split thie country in two and HOPE that his half is the bigger half.

IF that's what you want - then, yes, Republcians have the better plan.

Doubt the bomber will have the effect on the midterms the left hopes



People hate being blamed for the actions of one individual. The left tried this all the time with guns and it fails every single time

Even Sean Hannity didn’t blame Bernie for that shooting

How can you tell the difference between a 1 day old sticker and a 18-24 month old sticker? In Florida, over the past few months, I have seen Trump, Bernie Sanders, Hillary and even Obama/Biden campaign stickers on cars and none of them are faded.

If you're implying that you believe a conspiracy theory that someone recently added all those stickers to the van, then you ought to google for photos of the van from 2017 and spring 2018 when the stickers were already in place. And google for interviews with people that confirmed seeing the stickers many months ago on the van.

Don't worry about what should have been, we can't do anything about that now. It's about in the now, what went down this week. Thank God he wasn't able to get into that church.
