    The problem with your argument is the right wing doesn’t care if there’s a threat or not. If there is no threat, they’ll make one up.

    If you want to end political violence, you have to start with the people driving it, and that isn’t the left in the US by any stretch of the imagination.

      Are you referring to the establishment left (democrats) or to the extreme left? Because the extreme left is very much calling for violence.

      Edit: you just called for violence yourself, under the pretext that otherwise the right will kill you first. How is that any different?

        I didn’t actually call for violence. I expressed a concern that it may be an inevitable consequence of the right’s insistence on violence.

        And now you’re adjusting your argument to refer to the extreme left. However, you don’t have to look past the establishment right (Republicans) to find examples of stochastic terrorism.
