Donald Trump suggested defunding public universities that don't support the First Amendment, in light of the riot/protest at UC Berkeley yesterday. Is this possible, and how likely would it be that Congress picked up this issue with 2018 on the horizon?

Adorable.

What about the Quebec shooting mere days ago? A white nationalist killed six Muslims. What about journalists being forcibly evicted after criticizing far-right Marine Le Pen?

Last time I checked Quebec was not in the united states. Though if you want to do this globally, muslim terrorists kill THOUSANDS every month. The fact that you had to go to Quebec and France pretty much proves my point.

Or how the shooting of five BLM protesters in November 2015

LOL BLM gave viciously slaughtered 10 cops and attacked hundreds of people based on race alone. They are by definition a terror group based on lies. Again, there have been ZERO violent riots on the right. ZERO. There have been dozens of extremely violent leftist riots though all with absolutely savage attacks on trump supporters.

The fuck? ONE lady gets hit in the street and suddenly dozens of overtly political and vicious attacks against trump supporters didn't happen. Okay chief. How is this is any way political?

What about state violence - does that count?

You mean like when Obama dropped 25,000 bombs on seven different countries in 2015 alone? Yeah, threatening to send in our military to HELP mexico fight cartels, something we ALREADY DO is like, totally an example of political violence though. That's the problem with the regressive left. They equate words with violence then are shocked when we call them out for their absolutely vicious political violence.

For good measure, here's an altright thread from shortly before it was banned. Delightfully deplorable.

You have still not shown ONE riot, or ONE political attack by a member of the alt right for political ends or started for political reasons. Not one. Meanwhile leftists have had dozens of extremely violent riots and have committed hundreds of acts of political violence including kidnapping and TORTURE, vicious, savage attacks in broad daylight while other leftists LAUGH, and dozens more. You should be fucking ashamed of yourself for supporting this level of violence.

For good measure, here's an altright thread from shortly before it was banned. Delightfully deplorable.

So a thread of people trying to identify violent leftists who attacked other people means THEY'RE the violent ones? If you support the left, you support political violence. Full stop.
