Left wing terror

Leftists would have you believe that violent incidents like the 2017 "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville, VA and the 1/6/2021 riots at the U.S. Capitol occur on a regular basis. Why they push such a narrative is rather simple: the people who instigated those events were supporters of Donald J. Trump. As such, progs and their media allies use them as a cudgel to perpetuate their "oRaNgE mAn BaD" worldview. 

Heck, even when Trump wasn't President of the United States, you had President Joe Biden in 2023 declare that white supremacy is the #1 domestic terror threat we Americans face. It's clear that the Biden administration thought the best way to advance an anti-Trump narrative was to completely fabricate a crisis since the demand for white supremacist terror vastly outweighed the supply. 

But when violent incidents occur where a case can be made that they were inspired by prog rhetoric or misinformation peddled by a agenda-driven media, we get the ol' reactionary chanting point of "We just don't know what the perpetrator's motivation could be" despite said perpetrators shouting "ALLAHU AKBAR" or "FREE PALESTINE." 

Erick Erickson breaks it down. 

A progressive techie gunned down an insurance company executive in New York. Many on the left cheered him on.

One progressive activist attempted to burn down the Governor’s Mansion in Pennsylvania with the Governor and his family inside.

Another just murdered two Israeli Embassy employees in Washington, D.C.

A Muslim man in Michigan has been arrested for a plot to attack a military base on behalf of ISIS.

A Defense Intelligence Agency employee has been arrested for attempting to sell secrets to another nation because the employee is upset Donald Trump won the election.

(On Sunday) in Boulder, CO, an Egyptian man attempted to set on fire a number of Jews. A Holocaust survivor is a victim. The man chanted about Palestine as he Molotov Cocktailed the Jews.

The attack (Sunday) came after American media outlets amplified a story about Israelis killing Palestinians in Gaza that turned out not to be true.

Along those lines, the Washington Post announced they were deleting a post containing such disinformation. 

Correction: We’ve deleted the post below because it and early versions of the article didn’t meet Post fairness standards.

The background: Early versions of the article on Sunday stated that Israeli troops had killed more than 30 people near a U.S. aid site in Gaza, with the… pic.twitter.com/KseRXgJn6A

Remember it was the WaPo that declared "Democracy dies in darkness" when the first Trump term began in 2017. I wonder what they believe happens to democracy when reporters engage in "narrative journalism" as opposed to, y'know, REPORTING FACTS?!?!?!

And while leftists reject "lone wolf" arguments for when a mentally unstable person commits a spree killing with a firearm, they'd have us believe that the myriad incidents Erick laid out in his post are merely one-offs. 

Just a string of "lone wolf" attacks aimed at the same group using the same rhetoric based on the same ideology. https://t.co/fqSJuXz5zD

Tragically, democracy is not the only thing dying in darkness.
