Per the NIJ article on domestic terrorism, violence is predominantly used by the right.
Since 1990, the count is at 227 events by the far right versus 42 by the far left. A 5.4x difference.
The difference is even greater in the number of lives taken. 520 by the far-right, and 78 by the far-left. A 6.6x difference.
And? I didn’t say it was a required ritual. It’s a tenet of our national identity. I know more left-wing people with firearms or other weapons and the ability to use them than I do those on the right. Yes, the far right typically are the ones to use personal violence - the American left typically goes for scale. Like say, Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
I’d love to know how you cherry pick what qualifies as violence.
Just at J6 alone there were thousands of violent people who stormed the capitol.
Thats 1 day. 1 event. It alone takes your 226 and balloons it into closer 2,000 people, with some estimates saying closer to 2,500.
So to me your numbers mean nothing, as they cherry pick what is “violence”, that I’m not even going to attempt to verify your results. I already know that for every 1 result you count, there’s 10-50 that you missed.
You can look up NIJ methodology if you are concerned. I would generally agree with you that it is undercounted/underreported and there is a lot more conservative violence than we know about.
Conservatism always looks to create an outside group it uses to exploit and blame their self-derived problems on. See currently blaming the immigrants for taking jobs and benefits away from working class Americans when it is really our existing system that does this in the name of profits.

You don’t have to guess, its a specific article by the NIJ that was noted.
It was also pulled by the DOJ because they didnt like what it said right after Kirk was shot.
It was, however, very quickly archived.
