That isn't what I'm saying, and the fact everyone seems to think it says a lot of bad things.

I'm simply pointing out that the Right points to the extremists on the Left to justify themselves just the same way the Left points to the extremists on the Right. Becauseboth sides tend to think their own shit doesn't stink.

Just because I don't agree with the most recent wave of rhetorical bullshit of people twisting the meaning of racism so whites are racist and blacks are "exhibiting racially biased behavior," doesn't mean I'm in favor of racism.

The problem is that the right MAINSTREAM is comparing itself to the fringe left. We say something that Trump did is crazy and they point to the fringe parts of twitter left. It’s not equal. It’s not even close.

That's a significant part of my point.

We need to acknowledge the Fringe Left exists and try to talk some goddamn sense into them instead of trying to pretend we can separate ourselves from them, because the Right sure as hell won't separate them from us any more than we separate the Qtards and MAGAts from moderate, sensible conservatives when we think of "the Right."
