I did when I asked who was killed Honestly you’re the one making a claim it’s not on me to look it up. And it would benefit friendly discussion if you could give me the names of the people you’re talking about so I could look it up without guessing. Unless you don’t know their names?
I am trying. The fact I am asking you to provide names is trying. That’s how discussions happen by communication facts and ideas back and forth. I will gladly go look up the events you’re talking about so we can be on the same page. I will not waste my time looking for them only to be unsure of them or if I’ll get confirmation of who you’re talking about.
I’m really not. I really am trying to have a friendly discussion. Thank you for sharing the names. I can tell you that I saw many conservatives discouraged and upset at Good’s death. And I saw many of them question the justification of Pretti’s death. No one was happy they happened. Very unlike Trump’s statement about Mueller or the reactions to Kirk’s death.
Justification does not equal celebration I am not dismissing anything. I can only tell you what I’ve seen and if I am in a right wing echo chamber it is odd that what I’ve seen are good people ashamed of how this country has ended up. Not them celebrating death or accusing people without cause.
Your point is based on your personal experience along with your bias against them. If people en masse agreed I would’ve seen that. What I saw was people saying this was an avoidable tragedy. I wouldn’t say that the right has a problem with vitriol and hate but chronically online people across the board do. There were people open about the fact they were glad Kirk’s children were partially orphaned. I do acknowledge I can’t see everything and I hope you acknowledge that as well.
How do you know it’s the general totality of opinion? At least you know I’m against it even if you’d believe I’m an abnormality. Hate is too undefined as a term. Are conservatives attacking people in the streets? And I’m not saying there aren’t hateful people but please acknowledge that they exist everywhere. Even in high school I had people I never talked to try to sabotage my prom date by telling my date lies about what I believe because I was slightly more conservative than them.
Explain. How are you getting your data and doing your calculations? Is it more than you perusing Fox News. Are you personally talking to republicans and conservatives I remember the riots in 2020 when attacking in the streets was happening. Could you provide a few examples of who is being attacked and when? It’s not irrelevant it’s a real life example of hateful behavior coming from people because of liberal ideas. This is a personal conversation between two people not a presidential debate.
I’m monitoring approval ratings in relation to specific issues and applying different criteria of approval for each comment made by big right wing figures. Sure! Most domestic terrorism has been done by people holding right wing ideologies, recently there was a conservative man who ran over protestors, right wing platforms are causing radicalism

We’re talking about the right or left as a whole. I didn’t see you get sabotaged by your date therefore it just not have happened
Unless that majority is 51% it would be almost impossible for a person of the broader group to never interact with that opinion on a larger stage. I was going to interact with the substance but background knowledge is important when discussing the validity of a study and using it form opinions.
Okay You’re making a claim on present day using really outdated information. Information that is sourced from basically one source that is considered biased by many. There’s 3 citations. One is from a book about a definition that idk I’d agree with. Another is statistics from the GVA which okay fine the other is from the ADL which is often considered to have a left bias.
You not agreeing with the definition doesn’t make the definition invalid. You accept the GVA citation so that’s fine. Prove that the ADL had bias in this instance. Dismissing an entire source because you don’t like their general stances isn’t logical. If someone died and FOXnews reported it, I wouldn’t dismiss it because the claim is accurate.
Which is why I’m like whatever towards it The ADL has bias in general which means you need to look at their research with that in mind. Which doesn’t mean that I’m dismissing it just taking it with a grain of salt. One source is not enough to make any sort of claim about an entire group of people.
I’m not making a claim about the 2020 BLM riots I’m saying that your sources are outdated because they do not include anything about present day or recent years. Your sources are more than half a decade old yet you’re using them to make a claim about present day motives and opinions.
I don’t actually know anything about that author or that book. I’m disagreeing with it cause it’s not how I would define extremism but I’m whatever towards it because you might define it that way, which is fine. That doesn’t mean I’m dismissing it. If I was, I would say that definition is incorrect because I don’t like it and you shouldn’t use it. There was only one source that made a claim. Which was outdated.
Here’s another article for you to ignore because you don’t like facts. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/amp/politics/right-wing-extremist-violence-is-more-frequent-and-deadly-than-left-wing-violence-data-shows This is even updated after the Kirk killing that comes to the same conclusion about right wing violence.
I hope you have a good day and I hope your life is good, but I’m not gonna sit here and try to be friendly with somebody who’s determined to believe the worst of me. I really was trying to have a discussion for some common ground but we’re never gonna get anywhere if we can’t even agree on outdated information being outdated or not to insult each other.
Oh I see so you’re stubborn enough to want to just say your last piece to dismiss the article you didn’t even read or check the study of and NOW you’re going to run away. Thanks for proving the point that you would in fact ignore the data/facts lol. “I won’t engage but here’s how I’m justifying not acknowledging facts before I do decide to give up”
