So how many of the 24 perpetrators of the 31 targeted political murders or attempted murders since 2018 were from the Left? Let’s count them…
In 2018, Cesar Altieri Sayoc was sentenced to 20 years prison for sending pipe bombs to nine prominent Democrats, including Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden and Maxine Waters. Sayoc was a registered Republican.
In 2020, 13 men attempted to punish Michigan’s Democrat Governor Gretchen Whitmer for enforcing Covid lockdown measures. All were far right extremists.
Roy Den Hollander murdered human rights lawyer Marc Angelucci in July 2020. He then tried to kill district judge Esther Salas, but succeeded instead in murdering her son and seriously wounding her husband. Hollander was a far right Trump supporter.
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.
In October 2022 David DePape seriously injured Paul Pelosi with a hammer while seeking to kill House of Representatives Speaker, Nancy Pelosi. DePape is a far right Trump supporter.
In December 2022, Solomon Peña paid gunmen to attack the houses of Democrat state lawmakers in New Mexico. Peña is a registered Republican and a former candidate for state office.
Craig Robertson was shot and killed by FBI agents in August 2023 while being arrested for threats against President Joe Biden and others. Robertson was an army veteran with extreme right wing views.
Donald Trump himself was targeted at a July 2024 rally in Pennsylvania. The shooter Thomas Crooks killed one attendee and injured three others, including Trump, whose ear was cut by a flying fragment. Crooks was a registered Republican.
Another attempt on Trump’s life, thwarted before completion, was made by Trump voter Ryan Routh in September 2024. The trial is continuing.
In April 2025, Cody Balmer attempted to kill Pennsylvania’s Democratic Governor Josh Shapiro in an arson attack which caused extensive property damage but no injuries. Balmer was a Trump supporter at the time.
The Democrat Speaker of the Minnesota House of Representatives Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark Hortman were killed by avid Trump supporter and registered Republican Vance Boelter in June 2025.
Boelter then attempted to murder Minnesota Senator John Hoffman and succeeded in seriously injuring the senator and his wife.
Lastly, right wing influencer Charlie Kirk was shot last Wednesday by Tyler Robinson, a white student from a gun-loving Republican Mormon family. Robinson has no party links, but has reportedly embraced the extremism of right wing racist Nick Fuentes.
How many from the Left?

Reportedly from where? This claim from what I gather is simply not true. He was dating a transgender furry for crying out loud, and the bullet said “catch, fascist”
But the one time someone (Luigi) from the left (allegedly) uses violence to make a statement (not directly political), they are overwhelmingly supported by the public. Huh.
Luigi Mangione, the tech bro cum eugenics enjoyer? Is that the leftist we’re talking about here?
Ah, see, counting. That’s where you have already lost 'em.
Doesn’t matter. Facts are irrelevant now. Curated echo chambers is all we’ve got left. Their stupidity is as valid as your wisdom. There’s no logical or constructive way to fix that.
No. Just don’t play into their hand. The “post-truth world” is not inevitable, some “people” are just pushing really hard for it to be that way. Keep bringing up things that were said and things that were done, with receipts. Think and teach about the differences between facts, beliefs, thoughts, and opinions. Do keep making compilations of all the evil and insane shit they’ve done, with rigor and composure. They will be unable to come up with anything more than boogeystrawman rhetoric - not facts - and hate
Absolutely, but also remember that they will eventually track you down and kill you for it, once their regime reaches full power.
I refuse to live in fear. Also, I would have better opsec if I was in the US.
It matters if they have any power over you.
They can be stupid on their own time and it wouldn’t matter if they have no power.
This is it. You can throw facts, studies, hell even show them in real time something. They don’t care. Their narrative is what they care about and their team is in power.
‘Curated echo chamber’ is a great euphemism for a human brain.
Source on Tyler embracing Nick Fuentes? I heard early speculation about that but recently saw CNN articles pointing him to being at least left leaning
https://www.cnn.com/2025/09/16/us/what-charges-charlie-kirk-case
The Fuentes part has been floated around cause of the memes in the bullet casings. I wouldn’t call Tyler left leaning, but possibly questioning his right wing roots. There is evidence he’s unaffiliated by party, though, which should be unsurprising given his age. Its easy to look that up, though I’m not op.
Ops overall point does stand, though, as Tyler is raised in right wing gun culture even if his motive is unclear at this time.
Plenty of leftists are raised in right wing gun culture
How many from the Left?
According to the list: one (Quintez Brown). Which is surprising, as the title says “Not one”.
mid, not left. nationalist, but socialist. is not confined to the leftdespite the name Black nationalism is a leftist ideology
huh. yeah. kind of a shit name, then, eh
He’s from a far right extremist group, just not the white nationalist one we are used to. But his views were essentially far right for the black world.
GOP - 🙈
When people use “left” and “right” for serious topics
When some asshole derails the conversation by un-defining all relevant words
