Perception of Political Violence
The speaker discusses the perception of political violence in America, noting that there is a heavily armed side of the political spectrum that has shown restraint in public confrontations. They highlight that despite this, the left has been responsible for the majority of political violence in the past decade. The speaker finds it interesting that the left expects their armed conservative neighbors to control themselves, while criticizing them as 'violent.' They contrast the reaction to attacks on Trump with the hypothetical scenario of an attack on a Democratic politician, suggesting a potential difference in public response.
