      They’re just banking on people not understanding how to interpret graphs, which is a pretty reasonable assumption.

    2. This is exactly the kind of graphic the right has been waiting for though.

      Completely ignore it until there is something to point out so they can go “look! It’s their fault!”

      Data analysis doesn’t exactly seem to be a strong skill for the MAGA folks, best to just go with their oversized gut

    4. Im just curious how they get that left wing violence has risen so much this year.

      Must be because the current administration is just blaming more on the left.

      Only thing makes sense to me.

      What they define as left wing is not right. They consider black power movements, animal rights, and environmental terrorism as left wing when they are not. You also have to define terrorists acts committed on American soil or terrorist acts committed by domestic terrorists. All terrorism carried out by Islamic extremists are right wing. Also I can not think of one liberal committing a terrorism attack, left wing and liberal are two separate ideologies

    6. I mean, if I understand her “point”, according to her graph, left wing violence in 2025 *is* higher than it’s been in 30 years.
      [Ed: actually, that seems wrong, too since there appear to be worse years far more recent than 30 years ago]

      But still a fraction of what right wing violence was, as recently as last year.

      Now, I don’t trust her data at all, especially since it shows RW violence basically eliminated this year, which is clearly not the case and smells fucky as shit.

      But, nevertheless, this is *her* data she provided to convince us the left is the problem.

      Bonkers.

      Yeah but these kind of graphs suck a representing data anyway. I can’t tell you how many people I work with don’t realize the bar is as a whole and the smaller color isn’t another bar behind the gray color like it’s eclipsing it and therefore more than it.

      I wish people would either reverse the colors around to have the smaller quantity inside the larger or just stop using these graphs altogether. I’m tired of trying to explain them to everyone lol.

    8. Well clearly the yellow bits are on top!

      It’s worth pointing out that the graph shows MUCH more right wing domestic terrorism, going back MANY years, through both Democratic and Republican administrations. Somehow, after even telling everyone publicly that they changed the way they record these statistics in order to more clearly represent their own bias, they couldn’t find as many more left wing incidents as there are right wing incidents in any prior year. All they could really do was ignore the right wing incidents, on top of redefining some right wing extremists as “left,” just for the hell of it. It’s like the claims I’ve seen recently that the Nazis were actually left wing because the party’s name was derived from the German name for “national socialists.” No surprise at yet another hypocritic double standard there. A genetically male person who chooses to call themselves a woman (which has no actual impact on them) is pure evil in their book, but literal ultra right wing extremists fascists who used the word “socialist?” Oh, they’re left wing, of course.

    9. But nothin’ comes out when they move their lips
      Just a bunch of gibberish
      And motherfuckers act like they forgot about

      All domestic terrorism is being called left wing now. It was a right wing terrorist attack until it was learned the most MAGA purpose sister’s husband’s nephew’s college room mate had an Uber with a trans driver. Now its clearly left wing LGBT violence.

    11. My guess would be that the sheer reduction of right-wing domestic terrorism in 2025 has to do with the fact that they just don’t report terrorist acts if done by MAGA.

    12. I find it hard to believe that from January 2025 to July 2025, more to left wing attacks have happened than right wing.

    13. The only reason the yellow is as much as it is is because they started classifying vandalism as acts of domestic terrorism, because of Tesla/Musk.

    14. The nice thing is she validated the graph by acknowledging the data, even if she didn’t understand accurately it in any way.

      Who am I kidding. Trump’s followers switch directions with the sniff of his Sharpie.

      Now that’s a trend I can get behind, I love how they blame the left at the end (currently), for all the political violence.

      Wonder if they’re claiming the Evergreen attack and the one from yesterday as “left wing” too.

    17. Every time you think they can’t possibly get any more stupid, they manage to surprise you. 🤷

    18. They really do think everyone is as stupid as Trump. Sadly, they’re right, most of MAGA really is just fucking dumb.

      Just love how this administration just makes up bullshit numbers thinking they’re fooling anyone anymore.
