    It’s not that they don’t believe their side is violent.

    They believe their violence is justified. It’s everyone else that is wrong.

    It’s a subtle but important distinction because they will gladly accept violence for their ends. They already have during January 6th.

      My trump supporting father says that any violence committed on Jan 6 was secretly conducted by ANTIFA or the feds to make trump look bad.

      That said though they do like violence from their side just look at how they react to protestors being run over but that’s OK because they were committing the horrific crime of blocking the road

      You’re right. I should revise my statement to say that they don’t consider themselves violent compared to “the Left” (by which they mean libs, who they think are socialist communists because they’re completely brainwashed). They don’t have a coherent understanding of modern politics beyond picking a side and shouting loudest.
