I was responding to specific examples to show how they’re not similar at all.

The modern post Jan 6/BLM claim that rightwing violence is more prevalent is precisely the propaganda Mr Musk was referring to — and has been debunked many times. That’s nothing but junk social statistics by an ideologue, as are many social science papers these days.

Historical violence isn’t so clear, eg, the 1970s would be the era of leftwing terror groups such as Weather Underground sending bombs to Congress.

Also, that page you linked to doesn’t directly support your case at all — and indeed, barely cites anything.

That's modern, post Jan 6? Don't lie about such obvious things. I was in Oklahoma City in April, 1995.
