It has been a long and effective strategy to discredit various social movements by planting violent people amidst their protests and demonstrations.
Investigations have proven that police, the FBI and other "national security" organizations regularly pose as members of certain groups.
Infiltration of primarily anti violence groups like anti-war groups in order to disrupt their effectiveness goes back to the 60s with covert programs like COINTELPRO.
Anybody that takes what happens at these rallies and protests as evidence of violence on the part of any group is probably also inclined to believe what they hear on Fox News as well.
If you honestly believe that all the liberal violence that happens is because of 'plants' then ive for a pizza parlor filled with Democrats who eat babies you should check out.
Liberals tend to be less violent. It is part of their value system going back to the practices of Martin Luther King and the civil rights movement. Those were liberal movements.
I don't recall any major conservative leaders being assassinated in the US by a liberal.
You'll have to bring some evidence that liberals are violent. I don't particularly find that to be the case.
According to the republican run office of homeland security, the largest threats of violence and terrorism come right out of extreme right wing militant groups. I am not familiar with extreme left wing militant groups currently. Maybe there are some in other countries.
And don't feed me your antifa BS. Give me a break. That is another Trump conspiracy theory. Antifa have largely been involved in violent situations because they are standing up again fascism, which is on the rise and is becoming blatantly violent, including violent against antifa. If I'm antifa, I am damn well going to defend myself. That is not violence. That is self preservation.
Anyway, focusing on "liberal" violence in this country is like arguing over a parking ticket while someone is burning down your house. You sure can cherry pick your issues as long as it keeps your politics intact.
