Bomb threats against the Maryland General Assembly. Bomb threats against the Michigan lieutenant governor and his family. Bomb threats against 5 HBCUs. Two arrests for violent assaults in Idaho.

In 24 hours.

All Democratic/left-leaning victims.

All suspected MAGA perpetrators.

And that wasn't a full list—not even close.

Bomb threat against the Rhode Island Senate President. Bomb threat against the Rhode Island Majority Leader. Bomb threat against the New Mexico Senate Majority Leader. Once again all Democratic victims, all suspected MAGA perpetrators.

There's no reason to have a conversation about political violence based in rhetoric rather than data.

I don't need to note that every bomb threat on Election Day in 2024 was a MAGA bomb threat.

I don't need to mention January 6, Paul Pelosi, or the two dead Minnesota Democrats.

MAGA was a categorically violent domestic extremist movement before the tragic death of Charlie Kirk and it will *continue* to be one after his death.

The reason? Its leader is a rapist, serial sexual predator, convicted felon, and career criminal who *loves* political violence.

Bomb threats against three Oregon State Senators.

A bomb threat against an Everett (MA) City Council member.

A bomb threat against the DNC headquarters in DC.

All this in 24 hours.

Need I go on?

This is what MAGA is after Kirk—exactly the same mob as it was before yesterday.

The Democratic Party wasn't founded on violence. In fact the modern party—as even MAGAs admit—was founded in the 1960s, a decade in which maniacs killed every leader on the left that they could get a gun-sight on.

MAGA? It was *literally* born from Trump's love of ultraviolence.

You think I'm only referring to him raping E. Jean Carroll and Ivana Trump and facing 65 other allegations of sexual misconduct?

You think I'm just talking about him hitting Don Jr.?

Or that Bloodsport is his favorite movie, and boxing and UFC are his favorite sports?

Uh, no.

This is a man who has advocated for killing the entire family of every terrorist. This is a man who admits he helped the leader of Saudi Arabia cover up a murder. This is a man who has ordered multiple illegal assassinations. This man has threatened war against multiple nations.

This is a man who wanted migrants seeking asylum on the southern border to be eaten by alligators. This is a man obsessed with the speeches of Adolf Hitler. This is a man who has multiple times offered to pay legal fees for Trump fans who hit someone solely over protected speech.

This is a man who just murdered 11 people in international waters. This is a man who incited an armed rebellion against the United States. This is a man who suggested that asylum-seekers should be forced into *pay-per-view cage matches* to try to gain access to the United States.

And MAGAs *proudly* say Donald Trump is the absolute leader of their party and that disloyalty to him is grounds for excommunication. They freely admit that the party is modeled on this one sociopath obsessed with ultraviolence.

That's why MAGA is violent: it was designed to be.

And what is the Democratic Party? Per data, a party with no interest in committing acts of domestic terrorism. A party whose leaders condemn violence when a political assassination takes place. Now Google what Trump said after the Minnesota assassinations. After Pelosi. After J6.

I oppose political violence. I wish Kirk were alive and with his wife and kids today. I wish the same of the numberless mass-shooting victims MAGAs won't cry for unless they know them personally.

For *their* sake, we *won't* absolve you of your grotesque fetishizing of violence.
