Your zeal for violence and my relative pacifism probably can’t be reconciled. Your fixation on ills of the right and ignoring/downplaying/excusing ills on the left is also unresolvable.

Whatever point you’re trying to make, the following is logically fallacious (a non sequitur):

The Hodgkinson example is bullshit because I, unlike Steve Scalise, actually want political action to be taken to prevent assholes like him from getting shot in the first place, plus I’ve never advocated shooting anyone, let alone an elected official.

Either he is a leftwing nut motivated by extreme rhetoric or he isn’t. Your justifying violence based on the identity of the victim is horrible as a matter or morality and logic. There’s no reason that shabby logic belongs only to the self-declared righteous.
