    This is a false equivalence from the beginning. The far right has been more dangerous than the far left in America for at least a century.

      And the far right seem much easier to upset. “Oh no, a trans person held a beer can!”

        The fact that they’ve realise that “facts don’t care about your feelings” is too hypocritical - even for the far right should tell you a lot.

        Ya, the far left. You know, the lunatics that want to tax you and give your taxes to schools. For extremist purposes like new books and free school lunches. The far left. The terrorists that want to put the good American insurance companies out on the streets, and take taxes away from the woefully under funded military industrial complex, so that the person without a job, because they are too lazy to grow their legs back, can get free housing and medical attention. They are just so extreme. Nothing like the good god fearing right that only want to protect the children. From eating, reading, and generally being able to form a coherent opinion. That’s what the Bible is there for. Or the Qur’an. Depending on your flavor text.

          Yeah, I am old enough (and from Europe) to remember walhat “far left” looked like and what they did.

          So yeah, it is insane having to read anyone mentioning “far left” in the context of today, especially in the context of USA.

          I mean, those nasty far left commie terrorists, wanting medical care and to be left alone.

          Tsk, tsk, tsk…

        Well, Islam is a right wing ideology. So I’m guessing 3/4 of attacks are by white nationalist and Christian fundamentalists, makes the rights share close 98% if these numbers are correct
