See that's the problem though, one side is actually disgusting and the other is not.

Right wing extremism is the most present terrorist threat to the US. People who argue against right wing views are not storming the capitol over it.

Edit: can this "both sides" guy ensure an environment where I won't be called slurs, or worse, for being queer & Jewish?

Can they explain how it's valid to call me a gr**mer just for being non binary? Despite the fact that this is just plain libel/ slander?

After the ensuing conversation I'm going to assume the answer to my questions is a No.

Edit 2: it won't let me respond to another comment, so I'll just add it here

Racism, sexism, anti semetism, and hating LGBT people is disgusting.

And asking me "do you think you will win anyone over" is assuming I haven't ever tried being nice. I have. It doesn't work when the other person says "fuck your feelings".

Oh and these aren't teams. This isn't some game to me. Personal politics fall on a spectrum, and I just don't believe in the "both sides" horseshoe fallacy. Many people I know who aren't disgusting have views I don't agree with, and I have thoughtful, kind conversations with them nonetheless. It helps a lot when the core beliefs of the person you disagree with don't involve dehumanizing myself or others.
