Just to be clear, your contention is that the majority of street violence in 2020 has been right wing?

My contention is that, for many years, as US government agencies have confirmed, the vast majority of political violence in the country, eg, the synagogue murders in Pittsburgh, many others incidents, have been by ultra right proto-fascists. Are you disputing this data?

You're ducking the question for precisely the same reason Biden keeps doing so.

Well, I guess I can say the same for you! Are you disputing the data—or are you unfamiliar with it—which concludes that must political violence in the US is not by Islamic extremists, ultra-leftists or other ideations but by “white power” proto fascists?

Ah—so your view is it’s simply not empirically possible to believe that right wing proto-fascists are the major source of political violence in the country today. You can’t accept that data because no enemies in the right, huh?

I can't help you if you won't even read the column or address its arguments. And you continue to claim that there is no problem on the left, & that street violence in 2020 is primarily a right-wing problem.

I read the column. And I told you that you first three reasons apply also to right wing groups. But you know nothing about third groups—or choose not to know anything g about them. Maybe you ought to feel some shame that you can’t condemn fascists, Dan.

Oh c'mon, I can't condemn fascists? How many damn times have I done so? You're not entitled to your own facts.

Show me a cite. If you’ve done yhst, I’m glad. All I know right now is that you won’t even consider the evidence—or else know nothing about it—that rightwing proto fascists are the leading source of political violence in the US. Your LA Times piece says nothing re that.

So, by "condemn" you mean "minimize other sources of violence."

Huh? Whst do you want him to do besides say that violence is wrong and peaceful protest is good? Compare to Trump—“ Stand By.” Most people understand the difference. You can’t just say what Romney: “Of course” Trump should have condemned proud boys. Easy.

You couldn't even make it through one tweet without asking Trump to condemn specific people, while letting off Biden for saying things Trump has said. Why should Biden be held to a different standard?
