Seriously. The political debate in this country is cracked.
As a starting point, we've drifted so far to the right that when people refer to "the left" they aren't actually referring to actual Leftists, but rather fellow market capitalists who simply belive that a consumer economy works better when the consumers actually have some money to spend.
The U.S. Hasn't had significant political violence from the Left since the Weather Underground in the 70s. Meanwhile, rightwing fundies have been murdering doctors and blowing up medical offices since the 1980s. The whole racist wing has been claiming the South will rise again and has been engaging in political violence to spark a race war since forever. You had Sthe GOP outright steal the 2000 election with the Brooks Brothers Riot at the ballot counting facility, and then try to recreate the same in 2020 culminating in a straight up attempted coup - - with gallows and all - - at the U. S. Congress.
It's amazing how sycophants both sides this issue. They don't give a fuck about America. They care about manipulating people to get their way.

Well said, here's another tibbit of how far right we've gone: The wingnuts were claiming that Justice Kennedy was a bleeding heart liberal during his last few years. He was nominated to the court in 1987 by none other than Ronald Reagan. As people say: Reagan, the right's ultimate hero before DT took that mantle wouldn't even make the GOP primary in this day and age, he'd be booed off the stage.

I totally agree with you. It is all about getting power and saying and doing whatever you have to to get it no matter what the political stripe they come under.
