Targets included democratic presidential candidates, MSNBC and CNN journalists, found with massive stockpile of weapons.

I'm just glad there was no good mil-surp in that "massive stockpile" since it's all bound to be destroyed. Oh, uh, also that they caught this guy before he could do anything.

Reminds me of the pipe bomb incident back leading up to the midterms.

But there's no reason to think the American Far Right has built an environment that encourages terrorism. /s

It's the leftists that are violent thugs and Communists, don't you know?

This reminds me of Lincoln.

BCM, could you clarify/elaborate on that statement?

Do violent attacks from the left indicate that the American Far Left has built an environment that encourages terrorism?

They seemed more like spoiled brats, who will engage in tossing chairs at you or throwing wadded-up cash at limos than actually violent. Which could easily become a mob that results to violence, but it seems the far right wants to engage in violence as the first option, out of things like cultural fear of being exterminated, like the fact that by 2050 we will be a mostly Latino nation. That's why you get things like them wanting to regulate, suppress, and outright ban birth control and abortion hoping it will lead to more white people having kids, because they're the primary proponents of family planning. Plus I think the idea of forced birth is a huge kink to them, given how sexually repressed a lot of them are. But that's another subject.
