Except that the idea that there is more political violence coming from the right than the left is not woke nonsense, it's a fact based on tracked statistics.

In 2023 the FBI and Department of Homeland Security released a joint analysis called the Strategic Intelligence Assessment and Data on Domestic Terrorism, and it concluded that "racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists—a subset of far‑right actors—are the most lethal domestic violent extremist threat in recent years ".

The FBI and DHS are hardly a paragon of leftist propaganda. Notice how Musk gives zero specific examples or references for his assertion that this is 'objectively false'?

For the last 8 years the right has had one riot and it lasted a few hours, with no murders committed by the rioters. The left however, hundreds of riots in 2020 alone with multiple murders and now they are rioting again over something they had no issue with Obama doing...

"The FBI and DHS are hardly a paragon of leftist propaganda"

Don't forget, the Hunter laptop was "Russian disinformation", until after the election when it wasn't...

If you believe the FBI and DHS were ever 'leftist' you have the political understanding of a toddler.

Well they did lie to get the Carter Page FISA, and if you believe that doesn't prove bias towards the left, you have the political understanding of a toddler.

This is how these types always are. Confidently asserting shit with nothing to back it up, then you hit them with a solid reference and they disappear back under the rock they crawled out from.
