100% this. People here fail to realize that there was some nutter on Christmas who suicide bombed himself over 5g conspiracy theories. Where was the FBI to stop this guy? No one where to be found.

I hate to be the one to say this but political motivated violence will be on the rise sharply.

are you trying to equate the preparedness of law enforcement to prevent in advance a single mentally ill person's non-publicized surprise attack to the very publicized and clearly anticipated actions of thousands who widely published their intent in advanced?

I'm with you on likely more violence, yeah I also think probably from those considered 'left' tooe

but the better comparison between both events is that they both involve insane conspiracy theories bought into by a very specific slice of mostly white, mostly male, mostly MAGA and Q folks.
