Here is an archive of the DOJ site in question. They had to be sure they took it down before Vance hopped on Kirk’s nazi podcast to spout lies claiming the opposite of objective reality.

Can't be letting pesky facts get in the way of them abolishing the Democratic party.
Militant, nationalistic, white supremacist violent extremism has increased in the United States. In fact, the number of far-right attacks continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism. Since 1990, far-right extremists have committed far more ideologically motivated homicides than far-left or radical Islamist extremists, including 227 events that took more than 520 lives.[1] In this same period, far-left extremists committed 42 ideologically motivated attacks that took 78 lives.[2] A recent threat assessment by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security concluded that domestic violent extremists are an acute threat and highlighted a probability that COVID-19 pandemic-related stressors, long-standing ideological grievances related to immigration, and narratives surrounding electoral fraud will continue to serve as a justification for violent actions.[3]
Quintez Brown attempted to kill Democratic Mayor of Louisville, Kentucky, Craig Greenberg, in February 2022. Brown was motivated by Black nationalism, pan-Africanism and revolutionary socialism.
I dunno, to me revolutionary socialism is something I equate with "the left".
Still, 1 out of 30 ain't bad.
Yeah:
"The only perpetrator arguably from the Left is Black nationalist Quintez Brown."
So they did acknowledge it, but kind of gave it a pass because he wasn't "affiliated with the Democratic Party or any other mainstream reformist, progressive or leftist organisation".
I think it's still a bit up in the air about whether Tyler Robinson had a consistent ideology. He is 22, an age where political leanings can be all over the place and evolve pretty rapidly. Whatever the case, it seems he operated alone. So we can consider how much online rhetoric influenced him one way or another, but it doesn't seem like there was any organizational pressure or even a forum that had a chance to talk him into or out of his plan.
The article does make a broader point well supported by data, broadly speaking the right has gotten more violent and we don't see a similar pattern on the left. No matter which way Tyler lands or just attributed to less ostensibly political ideology, I think the trend is still valid. It's somewhat less dangerous if they can definitively establish him as a Fuentes like, but I fear he might be credibly "grown out of it".
I also think we can't overlook his upbringing. Growing up in a conservative household and raised to use guns from a young age, his decision to kill Charlie Kirk stems from that upbringing. Even if his politics happened to deviate from that of his parents, which is still in the realm of speculation right now, he was only using the tools and the methodology that he was given.

No doubt left-wing terrorism has happened. Just much less frequent and deadly.
conspiracy beliefs is the gateway to being alt right in general.
Wow, what fragile egos.
Someone keyed my minivan over the weekend, probably because of some pro-trans/science stickers. Luckily the paint is not a concern of mine (it had rattle-canned sections when I bought it, I knew what I was getting), but still. I pointed it out to my wife, she just quipped "and they call us snowflakes 😂". God I love that woman.
All of this shit makes me want to play dirty now. Preach hate, get hate; and all that.
I've been simmering on some 'radical left-wing' grafitti such as;
Be Kind
Build Community
Don't Hate
Love Thy Neighbor
But I don't want to get black bagged for spreading such subversive rhetoric.
I would straight up start busting windows out of any vehicle with trump stickers. But I have a family who needs fed and housed, so I don't.
Yet.
"don't hate" seems like an extremely radical message. I hate lots of things, and I think it is right to hate those things.
I hate it when Nazis gain power. I hate it when children are molested. I hate injustice. Don't you?
And how productive has that hate been for you? Has your hate fixed anything?
I was molested as a teen. If you walked up to me and asked me “do you hate that guy” I’d be very confused. I’d say that’s very meaningless question.
You think he cares if I hate him or not? I don’t waste my time hating bad people. It doesn’t solve the problem. Use your energy more wisely.
Something I say a lot “I never solved a problem by being pissed off.”
Just my opinion on tho. You do you.

You’re clearly a menace to society! I ought to turn you into the thought police for my brownie points. I might even get enough for a gold star this year!
Honestly, it is the behavior of the righwing that is making me edge towards being a militant leftist. If they are going to lie and persecute the innocent, at what point should they be shielded by civility?
I think when the left's emotional dam breaks, the conservatives would have to face the consequences for their actions.
This is being done by the "facts don't care about your feelings" people?
Feelings are their facts.
And they vote in support of each other.
It's really annoying
The study showed far right extremists had 5x as many attacks since 1990
Of course it was.
That study was flawed because it didn't show the correct result.
It’s always the ones you most suspect.

usa is beyond discourse and electoralism pulling it out of this fascist tailspin, the fascists are just going to remove everything they don't like because they control the empire
hold that mirror up real high so you can see that shitty toupee, republicans 💜
