Why does it have to be the same exact scenario, why can't you just admit there are crazy people on the right who engage in political violence too? Go read my initial reply in this thread, I never said anything about specific circumstances, I only argued that there was political violence on both sides and I provided videos when asked about it. Your only real rebuttal is a whataboutism basis that minimizes political violence if it doesn't occur within some set scenario you demand. Whether at a protest or just walking down the street, someone who attacks another because they are wearing the hat of an opponent is an unhinged emotional violent person.

You don't get to hijack my thread and change the question to suit your political bias.

Just stop.

Showing that both sides have violent members = "hijacking" your thread?
Didn't realize you needed a safe space for your discussions.

When you won't answer the original question I asked, then YES -- hijacking for your own narrative.

Incorrect, it did answer your question.

You asked:
"Were these people already insane, or did the Left cause this?"

My answer was that there are always people like this and on both sides. In other words people were already that insane.

You just didn't like it being pointed out that this isn't only a problem of the left.

I asked you to answer A or B, and you chose C.

You could have easily chosen A, but you waited until now to do so.  After answering, you could have then posted about both sides.  But you can't play nice.  Always trying to be difficult..

"My answer was that there are always people like this and on both sides."

That doesn't answer the question.  Were they already insane before the party drove them insane? or only after they became part of the Left?

Then you tried to clarify by saying, "In other words," which was about as close to you giving a straight answer as we could expect.  If your answer was plain to start with, there would be no need to put it "in other words."

Just stop.

Key word ALWAYS. The party didn't drive them insane, they always existed because insane people have always existed. Crazy people isn't a 12st century occurrence.

This goes back to my original question which EEF believes is not a recent phenomenon:

Were these people already insane, or did the Left cause this?

If already insane, then they gravitate toward the Democrat Party.  If relatively sane before joining, then the Party must in some measure be the cause of the insanity.

Chicken and egg, or does this lend itself more to causation analysis?

True there have been crazy people throughout human history, but the POINT OF THIS THREAD is that more of the crazies have aligned themselves with the Left than the Right.  So, my question is apropos.  Did they start being unbalanced before or after they joined?

Some certainly gravitate towards the democrat party. Others gravitate to the republican party. Democrats have a few more I would argue though.

More direct evidence that TDS exists.

In this case, I think the mental illness existed before Trump's introduction to politics as is demonstrated by her appearance and words.

Now the TDS appears, giving her one more thing she is unhappy about besides her original ordinary human attributes.

Why else would a healthy-minded person put these videos online for the world to see?

1 in 6 Americans is on psychiatric drugs and it shows

Some certainly gravitate towards the democrat party. Others gravitate to the republican party. Democrats have a few more I would argue though.

You also left out:

Some gravitate toward the libertarian party
Some gravitate to no party
Some don't gravitate at all
Some gravitate to the CCP
Some gravitate to the NCR (New California Republic)

I want my ding-a-ling to gravitate too.  But it's not cooperating.  My ding-a-ling is converting to a democrat.  All of them are soft like jell-o.

Bruh, if you got 2 ding-a-lings, you got more probelms to worry about that people with TDS.

There's 1 vid of the Sec of War benching 315 along his service members.  The comments from even experienced lifters on social media are:

Fake cause the bar doesn't bend, because it should start to bend at 225.
fake cause there was no noise when he racked the weight.
Fake cause those are bumper plates, they're prob 25lbs and not 45lbs each.

From people who lift due to their social media pics, they should know better.  The bar doesn't bend at 225 and even  at 315 most of the time.  And I rack my bar without the need to slam it and make noise. And the black bumper plates, 45lbs is about that thick. 25lb bumpers would be half of that or so in thickness.

So this goes to show that even logic excapes those with TDS who have XP lifting.

Then there's the non lifter commenting:

He's too old to be able to bench 315
He's too tall to be able to bench 315
His form sucked

None above are true.

Then he did it again from what looks like in his garage with his son. The weights were different ant the regular non-bumper plates. No bar bend, no lound noise when re racking.

Thought I'd share this about TDS, but in a different non-discussed aspect.
