The post makes sweeping generalizations that attribute fringe or minority behaviors to all liberals while ignoring extensive data showing that right-wing extremism has been responsible for the majority of deadly political violence in the U.S. in recent decades. While one survey does indicate that self-identified 'very liberal' individuals are more likely than conservatives to cut off family over politics, this applies to a minority (23%) and does not support the post's broader claims of exclusive liberal violence and hostility.

MAGA/conservatives do not get violent; it is liberals who get violent.False. Multiple analyses from authoritative research organizations, including the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) and the University of Maryland's START consortium, consistently show that right-wing extremist violence has been significantly more frequent and deadly than left-wing violence in the U.S. over the past 30 years. While left-wing violence has seen a recent uptick from historically low baselines, it remains far lower than right-wing violence in both frequency and lethality.

Liberals disown friends and family for a difference of opinion.Partially true but heavily overstated. A 2023 survey by the AEI Survey Center on American Life found that 23% of 'very liberal' respondents reported cutting off a family member over political views, compared to 9% of 'very conservative' respondents. However, this represents a minority of liberals, and the same survey found that 88% of Americans overall have not stopped talking to family over politics.

Liberals call for conservatives to be killed, celebrate a conservative getting killed, and attack someone for being a conservative.Misleading generalization. Isolated instances of extreme online rhetoric or fringe celebrations of violence (such as some social media reactions following the September 2025 killing of conservative activist Charlie Kirk) do occur on the left. However, attributing these fringe behaviors to 'liberals' as a monolith ignores that political harassment and violence occur across the ideological spectrum, and mainstream liberal politicians and organizations consistently condemn such acts.
Caveats
Definitions of 'political violence' vary across datasets, with some focusing strictly on terrorism and others including broader civil unrest or harassment. Survey data on family estrangement relies on self-reporting and may be influenced by how respondents define 'very liberal.' The post's claims conflate the actions of fringe extremists or a vocal online minority with an entire political ideology.
Community note
Misleading. Data shows right-wing extremism has caused most deadly U.S. political violence in recent decades. While a minority of very liberal people report cutting off family over politics, attributing fringe online rhetoric or isolated incidents to all liberals misrepresents the broader evidence.
