    How so? The primary audience for violent propaganda are republicans. The worst you can find on the democrat/left side are people saying you should beat up Nazis. And even that is hardly done by “official” news channels.

    I think we should measure this both in periods when relative dominance is held by Democrats and when it is held by Republicans.
