25 Liberal Calls for Violence, Harassment, and Lawlessness During the Trump Years in Quotes

Liberals have romanticized political violence for decades, but the violent rhetoric during the Trump years has been off the charts. Calls for violence and lawbreaking are so normalized on the Left that most people are numb to them at this point. Worse yet, that kind of bad behavior is ENCOURAGED by prominent liberals.

Calling for violence, harassment, and lawbreaking is how you gain credibility among liberals, not how you lose it. As bad as that is, what makes it worse, is that even as the Left calls for violence while winking at riots and assassination attempts, they try to gaslight everyone about it.

They will literally spend months trying to convince the public that Trump and his supporters are Nazis that are a dire threat to democracy and then stand in front of buildings other liberals have set on fire during a protest and call it a “mostly peaceful protest” while fretting about conservative rhetoric:

Meanwhile, liberals will deny that they condone violence at all, even though it is done constantly by the Left.

It’s far from complete and would be tens of thousands of entries long if we included run-of-the-mill liberals in it, but this seems like a good place to start.
