"What other name could we use?" asks one FBI officer who spoke with Newsweek, and who defends what he says is merely a record-keeping change in response to Congressional pressure to track things better. "Obviously if Democratic Party supporters resort to violence, it [AGAAVE-Other] would apply to them as well. It doesn't matter that there is a low likelihood of that. So yes, in practical terms, it refers to MAGA, though the carefully constructed language is wholly nonpartisan."
Antifa burning down cities and local businesses run by and serving minorities, daily calls on Twitter and Reddit to kill Trump and his supporters, Multiple school shootings traced to left wing supporters, threats of violence directly from politicians like Pelosi, Maxine Waters, etc.
But somehow, there’s just little likelihood that we would see any more of that from the left.
"This is not media hype. But it's also not easily quantifiable," the FBI official says. "Are we talking just a few thousand Proud Boy types or are we talking 30 percent of the country that are core Trump voters? Are we talking extremists bent on political violence or just a lot of disgruntled and frustrated citizens? I don't know the answer, and I can assure you the answer isn't in any secret intelligence that the government possesses."
So after all that — the entire article assuring us that the threats of violence from MAGA are real and the numbers are huge — After Newsweek says they themselves verified from a “secret document” that these numbers are correct — THEN they admit that they don’t actually have any numbers at all, and that they can’t even tell the difference between someone who might be motivated to violence and someone who is just a normal citizen who’s frustrated with the systemic abuse of powers, or the economy, or any number of legit frustrations that ALL people on the right and the left share?
This clearly shows they have NOTHING but fear mongering to serve one political agenda - to prevent Trump from winning and make you too scared to support him.
So let’s show them that we ARE “just” frustrated and disgruntled citizens, and we make up WAY more than 30, 50, even 70 percent.
