And there were not attempted mass political killings from the right when Obama was POTUS.

No, he was NOT a typical liberal Democrat, and your view of this is a shining example of what's wrong with our current political climate.

This was one attack from one lunatic, don't act as if it's an epidemic.

Let's just ignore Kathy Griffin and the Central Park Actors symbolically stabbing Trump to thunderous applause. Or the (presumably) mainstream Tim Kaine suggesting the Left take the fight to the streets.

There are millions just like Hodgkinson posting and/or repeating political statements just as he has. Was he a lunatic or a normal person who got swept away in the hatred for Trump? I guess you could make the case that anyone who tries to kill a bunch of congressmen is a lunatic, but before this he was just your typical Democrat. Even here we had at least two posters making undocumented claims of Trump being a "traitor." It's far worse on Facebook.

And your post of false equivalence, as if right wingers do this too, falls flat when the actual events are viewed. The only shooting or attempted shooting of a congressperson during the Obama years was by a left winger too.
