The text of the tweet says: "Marjorie Taylor Greene has been hated by the left for years and never feared for her life. She's been hated by the right for two days and had to hire security."]

That's a straw man argument. I am saying

political violence is still being perpetrated against individuals on both sides.

I'm arguing that this is a both sides issue from an attacked individuals perspective. Most political violence is the result of extremism and a lack of mental heath services. Framing the recent uptick as right or left won't solve the core issue.

Who is pushing the extremism and discouragement of community support for good mental health?

The core issue isn't what you seem to think it is.
