One of the most ridiculous things about the "both sides" argument about political violence is the obvious fact that Democratic Party elites, both inside the political world and among the credentialed class, openly embrace and celebrate violence, while there is no similar group on the Republican side who do the same.
Whatever statistics one trots out to make a stupid case that Republicans commit as much or more political violence--the stats are totally phony, but whatever...--the fact is that no prominent Republicans are cheering on assassinations, riots, and physical attacks on Democrats, while top Democrats and their influencers are doing so on a regular basis.
In fact, after Trump got shot and Corey Comperatore was killed, violent rhetoric from Democrats escalated by 1200%, and after Charlie Kirk was murdered, there was a flood of liberals who celebrated, and many who composed lists of other conservatives who should be next.
It's sickening. Democratic Party voters comfort themselves with the lie that it is "both sides," and then line up behind candidates like Jay Jones and demand their voters not "get distracted" by the murderous impulses of their leaders.
There was some painting with a broad brush after Kirk's assassination and I wasn't sure what to make of it, but it's now pretty undeniable we have a legit Democrat party violence problem.

The candidate, Richard Ojeda, is not some obscure guy. He raised over $750,000 for his run in the first half of this year, and will be a viable candidate in a Republican-leaning but winnable district. Lost causes do not raise that much money.
One reason the Democrats aren't appalled by all these calls to violence is that they are now so common among Democrats that they are a normal part of their discourse. Calling for violence is as Democrat as embracing MS-13 members, putting rapists in jail with women, and forcing teen girls to undress in front of boys and men who masturbate in front of them.
Two and a half minutes straight of Democrats calling for violence.

How exactly is political violence a right-wing problem?pic.twitter.com/RNDGq8SLWT
Liberals are taking to TikTok to celebrate murders and call for more. These videos are not a fringe phenomenon, but actually a form of clout chasing now among Democrats. Teachers and doctors, lawyers and judges, nurses and university deans will all proudly post about their hatred of and desire for the death of Republicans.

After Charlie Kirk was murdered, the most prestigious newspaper in the world handed over its Opinion page to share the thoughts of one of the most popular podcasters among leftists about Kirk. Here is just a snippet of how the man talks to his followers:

The New York Times is very concerned about maintaining "norms," and now you know what they consider "normal." Piker, by the way, is close friends with Zohran Mamdani, who is all about kindness, you know.

The embrace of Jay Jones after his murderous fantasies were revealed, and the still-real likelihood that he will win the seat of Attorney General in Virginia, tells you a lot about the current discourse and thinking within the Democratic Party. Center-left Trump haters may comfort themselves that conservatives do this too, but that is only something they tell themselves to give themselves permission to ally themselves with people who are manifestly monsters.
People like @ChrisMurphyCT got Charlie Kirk shot. https://t.co/Qh7Soald4B

American conservatives are the most heavily armed demographic in the world--literally. American civilians own more firearms and ammunition than all the world's militaries combined, and not by a small margin. If we were inclined to violence, everybody would know it.
As a lifelong conservative who spent half his career deeply embedded within the conservative movement, I have never, ever heard anything like what Jay Jones said. Democrats seem unbothered by it, though, likely because they hear such talk all the time. Not only at cocktail parties and barbecues, but even from elected officials and candidates.
It is hard to imagine any candidate for any office could survive these revelations, but as far as I know he has not even lost a single endorsement. https://t.co/b8wbEStowD

Abigail Spanberger, who styles herself a moderate Democrat, is running on a platform of "rage" and has re-endorsed Jones after his desire for murder was revealed.
Go to any elite college campus and you will find the place chock full of classes taught by professors preaching violence and praising terrorists, and campus organizations not only embrace terrorists but also act out violence on their peers.
Most Democrats aren't violent. But they sure are tolerant of it in their allies and leaders.
