Does more violence come from the right or the left in the USA

1. Summary of the results

The majority of the analyses suggest that right-wing extremist violence is more frequent and deadly than left-wing violence in the USA, with sources such as ^[1], ^[2], ^[3], ^[1], ^[1], and ^[3] providing data to support this claim ^{[1] [2] [3]}. For example, ^[1] states that right-wing attacks account for the vast majority of fatalities from domestic terrorism ^[1]. Similarly, ^[1] cites data showing that approximately 75% to 80% of U.S. domestic terrorism deaths since 2001 were caused by right-wing extremist violence ^[1]. However, some sources, such as ^[4] and ^[4], note that assessing political violence in America is inherently subjective and that available datasets may be biased, making it difficult to determine whether 'radical-left' violence is really on the rise in America ^[4].

• Key findings from the analyses include:

Right-wing extremist violence is more frequent and deadly than left-wing violence ^{[1] [2] [3]}

The overall number of politically motivated murders is relatively small, accounting for about 0.35% of all murders since 1975 ^[2]

Assessing political violence in America is inherently subjective and available datasets may be biased ^[4]

The majority of Americans say it's always or usually unacceptable to be happy about the death of a public figure they oppose ^[5]

2. Missing context/alternative viewpoints

Some sources, such as ^[4] and ^[4], suggest that the killing of Charlie Kirk is not representative of broader trends in radical-left violence ^[4]. Additionally, ^[5] provides polling data that shows younger Americans and liberals are more likely to defend feeling joy about the deaths of political opponents, but still, the majority say it's unacceptable ^[5]. These alternative viewpoints highlight the complexity of the issue and the need for a nuanced understanding of political violence in America.

• Alternative viewpoints include:

The killing of Charlie Kirk is not representative of broader trends in radical-left violence ^[4]

Younger Americans and liberals are more likely to defend feeling joy about the deaths of political opponents ^[5]

The majority of Americans say it's always or usually unacceptable to be happy about the death of a public figure they oppose ^[5]

**3. Potential misinformation/bias in the original statement**

The original statement **does not provide any context or evidence** to support its claim, which could lead to misinformation and bias ^{[1] [2] [3]}. Furthermore, some sources, such as ^[3] and ^[3], suggest that **President Trump's claims that the left is more violent are not supported by data** ^[3]. This highlights the potential for **political bias and misinformation** in the original statement.

Potential biases and misinformation include:

The original statement does not provide any context or evidence to support its claim ^{[1] [2] [3]}

President Trump's claims that the left is more violent are not supported by data ^[3]
